Tips
Jazzier AI jazz
From making the demos above.
Name the ensemble — 'trio' vs 'big band' changes everything.
'Walking bass' and 'ride cymbal' signal swing.
Ask for 'solos' to get improvised sections.
Bossa nova needs 'nylon-string guitar' and 'soft brushes'.
For a vocal standard feel, say 'late-night' and 'smoky'.
