Please see RWC Music Database Home Page for the guide to the RWC Music Database (including how to obtain the database).

The Jazz Music Database consists of 50 pieces:

• Instrumentation variations: 35 pieces (5 pieces × 7 instrumentations)
  The instrumentation-variation pieces were recorded to obtain different versions of the same piece; i.e., different arrangements performed by different player instrumentations. Five standard-style jazz pieces were originally composed (the melody and chord progression were determined) and then performed in modern-jazz style using the following seven instrumentations:
  • Instrumentation 1: Piano solo
  • Instrumentation 2: Guitar solo
  • Instrumentation 3: Duo (Vibraphone + Piano, Flute + Piano, and Piano + Bass)
  • Instrumentation 4: Piano trio (Piano + Bass + Drums)
  • Instrumentation 5: Piano trio + Trumpet or Tenor saxophone
  • Instrumentation 6: Octet (Piano trio + Guitar + Alto saxophone + Baritone saxophone + Tenor saxophone × 2)
  • Instrumentation 7: Piano trio + Vibraphone or Flute
• Style variations: 9 pieces
  The style-variation pieces were recorded to represent various styles of jazz. They include four well-known public-domain pieces (as shown below in parentheses) and consist of
  1. Vocal jazz: 2 pieces (including "Aura Lee")
  2. Big band jazz: 2 pieces (including "The Entertainer")
  3. Modal jazz: 2 pieces
  4. Funky jazz: 2 pieces (including "Silent Night")
  5. Free jazz: 1 piece (including "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee")
• Fusion (crossover): 6 pieces
  The fusion pieces were recorded to obtain music that combines elements of jazz with other styles such as popular, rock, and latin. They include music with an eighth-note feel, music with a sixteenth-note feel, and latin-flavored music.
