PEMBENTUKAN IDENTITAS KOLEKTIF MELALUI MUSIK DALAM KOMUNITAS JAZZ YOGYAKARTA
Jazz is a dynamic music genre, which has typically been closely connected to discourse
of grass-roots resistance. Despite having been born from a sense of oppression in most
parts of the world, in its development in Indonesia, jazz has become a musical style,
which has largely been consumed by the elite. As a result, discourse on jazz as the music
of the elite is only just developing and can only be heard by certain groups and in certain
places.
The focus of this study is about the formation of collective identity through jazz that is
happening in the Yogyakarta Jazz Community. Its aims are a) to spell out the knowledge
about jazz music, which was understood by the Yogyakarta Jazz Community, b) to
explain the practice that underlie the formation of collective identity within Yogyakarta
Jazz Community, and c) to describe about usage of knowledge and power that reproduced
discourse about jazz. This study uses the theory of habitus, identity, and discourse to
sharpen the analysis. Meanwhile, the type of this research is qualitative interpretive and
interview, observation and documents were used as a method.
The presence of Yogyakarta Jazz Community opens a new space for jazz and make it
more well-known. Jazz can be enjoyed freely by Yogyakarta Jazz Community as they
express themselves through the jam-session in their own language, as well as injecting
their shows with local elements. These practices have helped to forge their own collective
identity
