Re: [disklavier] Any interest in some high quality jazz improv?
2010-01-03 by Spencer_Lists
Tried playing one of the samples on my Live Performance LX. No luck, the piano part is intermittent.
Do you know if the server is reliable? Have you downloaded the files and tried the downloaded versions?
I find these "free" services to be a real pain. Did not want to sign up for premium service. Also odd that the
WAV and zip are nearly the same size. I find that the WAVs for DKV usually compress by a factor of
about 10.

I'm trying to gauge interest in some "pianosoft+audio-like" jazz improv songs.
These would work on any disklavier that can play those CD audio+Midi formats. I think that means some (all?) Mark IIIs and all MarkIVs. Maybe others?
The "+audio" is basically jazz accompaniment. So, think upright bass, and a drum kit.
All of these songs are played by a real live musician, with no editing, and no planning ahead...it's basically real jazz improv played from lead sheets. I think that it is quite a bit better than the stuff that you generally run across.
Anyway, I've put together 5 samples of these for anyone who is interested to download. I'd love to hear any and all feedback. The files are zipped, and in the zips are WAV files. To play these on a MarkIV, you only need to get them into your piano's FromToPC folder. On a Mark III, you'd need to either burn the WAVs as an audio CD, or play them back on a computer plugged into the correct jacks on the piano.
This is a link to the "folder" where each of the files can be downloaded, or all can be downloaded at once.

Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.
