Audio Samples

BebopNet in sample and BebopNet out of sample contain solos of BebopNet without beam search over chord progressions in and out of the imitation training set, respectively.

Diversity contains multiple solos over the same standard to demonstrate the diversity of the model for user-4.

Personalized Improvisations contain solos following the entire personalization pipeline for the four different users.

Harmony Guided Improvisations contain solos generated with a harmonic coherence metric instead of the user preference score.

Pop songs contains solos over the popular non-jazz song.

Some of our favorite improvisations by BebopNet are presented in the first section, Our Favorite Jazz Improvisations.

Most samples starts with the melody of the jazz standard, followed by an improvisation. Backing tracks for all jazz standards were generated with Band In A Box.
