As I wrote near the time this was being recorded, Ms.Kelly is a phenomenon -- not a precociously talented child, but a complete improvising musician. With Konitz, one of the great individualists in jazz, she is a peer. On the tracks featuring her in duo with drummer Matt Wilson, guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Rufus Reid, she is resourceful and satisfying.

  • An Assessment of Psychoacoustical Models in The
    Abstract A simple system for recognizing music is presented, based on various musical descriptors, num- bers that describe some aspect of the music. Various descriptors are discussed; in particular, a novel descriptor, the floor-1 cepstral coefficient (F1CC) measure, a refinement of MFCCs based on the Vorbis psychoacoustical model is presented and evaluated. Also, various forms of statistical dimensionality reduction, among them PCA and LDA, are considered in the present context. Finally, a few directions for future work are discussed. vii viii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my advisor Jan Tro, who patiently provided feedback and guidance over the course of the entire semester. However, several other people have played important roles: Greg Maxwell originally proposed the idea that eventually led to the develop- ment of F1CCs, and Chris Montgomery provided helpful guidance on the internals of the Vorbis encoder. Mette Langaas helped with various insights on statistics, in particular dimensionality reduction. H˚avard Midtkil provided his entire music collection in FLAC format as data mate- rial, saving countless hours of ripping labor. Finally, Rune Holm and Magne Mæhre proofread the manuscript at various stages, providing invaluable feedback, corrections and suggestions. ix x Contents Abstract vii Acknowledgments ix Contents xi 1 Introduction 1 1.1 MusicInformationRetrieval . ....... 1 1.2 Aimofstudy ...................................... 2 1.3 Structure ....................................... 2 1.4 Previouswork.................................... 2 2 Audio descriptors 5 2.1 Motivation ...................................... 5 2.2 Formaldescription ............................... .... 5 2.3 Desiredproperties ............................... .... 6 2.4 Distortionandnoise .............................. .... 7 2.5 Choiceofsourcefragment . ..... 9 2.6 Basicmusicaldescriptors . ...... 9 2.7 Humandescriptors ................................ 13 3 Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) 15 3.1 Psychoacoustical motivation .

  • Jazz Festival 2021 Featured Artists
    , ebrati The Institute s el ng C30 30th Anniversary ’ Years! Jazz Festival 2021 Featured Artists III (trumpet, vocals) has proven to be a rare talent: not only a fiery trumpet Bplaeyenrn wyi tBh ae sntiarrcinkg command of the postbop trumpet vernacular, but also a singer with a sly, mature, naturally expressive delivery in the post-Sinatra mold, performing standards and his own astute songs with a thrilling sense of showmanship. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics). And he’s a highly capable pianist as well. Benack has performed widely as a front man for Postmodern Jukebox and played and recorded with Christian McBride, Josh Groban, Diplo/Major Lazer, Emmet Cohen, Ben Folds, Ann Hampton Callaway, Melissa Errico, and many more. He’s been featured at jazz festivals and clubs around the world, won or was a finalist in several prestigious competitions (including the Thelonious Monk and Carmine Caruso Trumpet Competitions) and is highly sought after as a clinician and educator, leading work - shops and panels for jazz at Lincoln Center’s Jazz for Young People program and the New York Youth Symphony’s Education department. Third in a generational line of Pittsburgh jazz notables, Benack follows in the footsteps of his trumpeter/bandleader grandfather, Benny Benack, Sr., and his father Benny Benack, Jr., a saxophonist/clarinetist who gave the young Benny his first professional experience. (Benny, Sr. recorded the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 1960 theme song, “Beat ’Em Bucs” and toured with Tommy Dorsey and Raymond Scott, among others.) Benack’s latest album, “A Lot of Livin’ to Do,” was released in 2020 and features bassist extraordinaire Christian McBride, drummer/producer Ulysses Owens, Jr., and Takeshi Ohbayashi on piano and Rhodes.
