This

document contains the roadmaps for leadsheets with chord changes corresponding to John Elliotts Insights in Jazz book, as analyzed by version 5.03 of Impro-Visor. These were done in a single very long run, except for a few that I accidently left out in the first pass. Each roadmap was scaled manually following analysis in Impro-Visor so that most features were showing, then snapped from the screen and pasted into a Microsoft Word document, which adjusted the size of each roadmap to fit the page width. Impro-Visor currently produces only uniform-scaled roadmaps, i.e. the width of each bar is the same, although the width of a bar can be adjusted. One reason for this is that roadmaps can be played in Impro-Visor, and is tracked beat by beat, so we want the spacing to correspond to a uniform meter. Another reason is that making a non-uniform layout is a lot more difficult to program. The purpose of this is not to replace the corresponding section of Johns fine book. It is part of a research proof of concept. It is understood that some of these roadmaps are incorrect or sub-optimal. We will be working toward correcting problems in future versions, which may entail modification of the leadsheet (particularly placement of section and phrase marks), the brick dictionary, and, as necessary, the Impro-Visor software itself. Here are a few differences between our annotations and John Elliotts: We explicitly call out the inferred key (but there may be the occasional miss in this area). Our joins appear below the first brick, rather than wedged between two bricks. We dont explicitly call out Hovers (multiple measures of the same chord). We dont have a notion of abort currently, although some equivalences may be found in our use of approaches or starts. We dont give nicknames to stand-alone chords, e.g. Nowhere for bVI and Somewhere for II7. When two bricks have an overlapping chord, the suffix + . . . appears on the first brick. (There is a current bug in that, e.g. C is recognized in overlap from a cadence, whereas CM7 is not.) In our case, an eight-measure line can end up really long if there is a lot of complexity, so occasionally four-measure lines are used instead. (In the future, I will probably go to a four-measure line as the standard, even though parallel structure is often clearer with eight-measure lines.) In general, when making your own roadmaps with Impro-Visor, it is best to minimize unnecessary chord embellishments, as these are more likely to foil Impro- Visors brick recognition algorithm.
