backphrasing

English to Russian Art/Literary Music music
It's a musical term, and unfortunately all the dictionaries I got near at hand fail to give the translation and I even don't dispose of an explanation. Hoping for your help. Thank you in advance.

Некоторые находки:

1.Rhythm operates within the framework of metre. Metre without rhythm is a bit like going to book shop and saying "Can I have a book that's seven centimetres thick please?" Even though we often talk about "rhythmic accuracy" or "keeping rhythm", rhythm is usually everything that happens apart from the main beats of the metre. Thus, a really expressive jazz singer will be usually ahead of the beat (i.e. earlier - which is why it's sometimes called backphrasing), using subtle microtimings that give an illusion of being totally free of constraint, while remaining within a metric framework.

backphrasing: Playing the melody so that it lags behind the beat.

backphrasing: Playing the melody so that it lags behind the beat. Most of the
melody will seem to be ЂlateЂ but it will end up at the same place by the last note!

Синкопирование, синкопировать

Скорее всего речь идет именно об этом - то есть о ритмическом смещении, что характерно для джазовой музыки.

Хотя чаще всего синкопирование - это ритмическое опрежение
Peer comment(s):

neutral Michael Tovbin : syncopation - a temporary displacement of the regular metrical accent in music caused typically by stressing the weak beat?
