Abstract

As a matter of fact, computer composing is a hot topic for study in recent years. To be specific, Jazz, one of the essential music genres, has a complex and irregular musical structure. Current researchers are focusing on how to use models to generate expressive and innovative jazz. This study first summarizes in detail the characteristics of the musical structure of jazz and the unique structures of jazz music that are the difficulties of model training. At the same time, it then analyzes the feasibility and application of several popular machine learning models in jazz music composition. Finally, this study combines the current development of the field of computer composition with the challenges faced by the field of computer-generated jazz, as well as the direction of the next step in the development of continued efforts to explore in-depth, in the hope that this will provide researchers with new research perspectives, and to promote the development of new forms of jazz music can flourish in the age of intelligent machines.
