Oliver, Keppard, Armstrong and Beiderbecke- four of the early Jazz greats, renowned for their skill and revered as the fathers of Jazz trumpet. As improvisers they influenced countless musicians who followed them and the pursuit to understand their improvisation has lasted for over a century. Now, with the help of a new tool – the Jazzomat – fresh light can be shed on the musicianship of these masters. A computer-based analysis of their playing gives new perspectives on how these artists plied their craft, allowing researchers and listeners alike to recognize previously hidden aspects of their improvisation and to gain a deeper appreciation for these legends of traditional Jazz.
