Jazz Research employs computer analysis to verify musical examples where a question remains whether multiple releases of the same tune are from one master or alternate versions. Mr. Harrod has discovered and verified alternate versions of early Pacific Jazz releases by the following artists: Chet Baker Quartet, Chet Baker Sextet, Richard Twardzik Trio, Jim Hall Trio, Harold Land All-Stars, Cy Touff Quintet, Bill Perkins / John Lewis and the Clifford Brown Ensemble.
Jazz Research is dedicated to producing accurate, in depth research which will add to the canon of published jazz literature. Research requires time.
