Abstract
O presente artigo tem como objectivo principal examinar os mecanismos através dos quais Lee Konitz recorre à melodia de standards de jazz no âmbito do seu processo improvisativo. Partindo da transcrição e análise detalhada de cinco solos improvisados, e utilizando o método de análise temática, procedeu-se à identificação de ideias melódicas provenientes dos temas sobre as quais o saxofonista constrói alguns dos seus solos. Concluiu-se que Lee Konitz, para além de citar claramente a melodia dos standards de jazz sobre os quais improvisa, recorre também com frequência à utilização de algumas das suas notas enquanto nota salvo,assim como também ao desenvolvimento de motivos melódicos inspirados nessa mesma melodia.

Beginning with the transcription and comprehensiveanalysis of five improvised solos, and using the thematic analysis method, we identified melodic ideascoming from the songs on which the saxophonist builds some of his solos. Our conclusion is that Lee Konitz,besides clearly quoting the melody of jazz standards on which he improvises, also frequently uses some of itsnotes as target-notes, and develops melodic motifs inspired by that same melody
