Folklore-Jazz Direction in the Competition-Festival Movement of Accordion-Bayan Art of the First Quarter of the XXI Century

The purpose of the work is to investigate the dynamics of the folklore-jazz direction in the competition-festival movement of the accordion-fabulist art of the first quarter of the 21st century and to determine promising ways of development of folklore and jazz in modern musical content. The research methodology is based on the use of musicological, comparative, chronological and systematic methods, which allowed to analyse the cultural and artistic trajectories of the folklore-jazz direction in the competitions and festivals of accordion and legend art of the first quarter of the 21st century. Scientific novelty. For the first time, a scientific investigation of the competition-festival movement was carried out on its own practical example, namely participation in international competitions and festivals of the first quarter of the 21st century. The importance of the artistic content of the competition-festival environment on the performing and composing creativity of the participants of the artistic Olympia is considered. New, relevant ideas are offered to expand the creative horizons of performance and composition skills in mixing and synthesising folklore and jazz. Conclusions. The global perception of the folk-jazz direction in the competition-festival movement of the accordion-fabulous art of the first quarter of the 21st century emphasises our opinion that the huge spectrum of musical diversity allows to find new creative solutions, to make modern interpretive explorations of different styles through the creation of author's content, the introduction of revolutionary modern stylistic innovations in arranging and harmonising, experimenting and combining the latest conceptual solutions in improving the instrumentation and introducing new technical quality standards in the manufacture and updating of instruments.
