| Résumé : | This article analyses the development and the characteristics of the contemporary jazz scene in Northern Ireland with a special focus on Belfast. Jazz was introduced in Ireland in the early 20th century when the country fought for its independence, leading to its partition in 1921. In the Irish Free State, the music was originally seen as subversive within a morally conservative state, while in Northern Ireland, its traditional form was firmly rooted until the 1970s. While the Dublin scene became a hub for musicians by the late 1960s, the Belfast scene picked up from the 1990s on. In order to better understand the development of the music in Northern Ireland, an ethnographic approach that involves the researcher with the object of his study is necessary, thus allowing to penetrate a small but vibrant community that created its own subculture. |
