# Dataset description
This dataset contains the jazz solos from the Weimar Jazz Database (https://jazzomat.hfm-weimar.de/dbformat/dboverview.html) that have been processed in various ways to
be musically rhythmically accurate to the transcription sheet music they provide. The solos have been converted into the SCAMP format with the addition of the current chord
to give context.

# Format
### Instruction 
Arbitrary text requesting a jazz solo be created from a form/chord progression.
### Input
Form of the tune grouped by parts with chord symbols in side bars separated by "|" and "||" characters.
### Output
The format consists of a Python list of lists. Each one of these lists contain the following four attributes [pitch, velocity, duration, chord].
Using the first three, we can reproduce the solo using the SCAMP library.
