Studio Concepts
Albums created through exploration, selection, and curation rather than performance. Original Concept and Musical Direction by J. Belle.
Midnight Clarinet evokes the intimate, sophisticated moods of late-night swing, led by lyrical clarinet lines weaving through warm brass, brushed drums, and subtle piano comping. The music emphasizes expressive phrasing, reflective dynamics, and elegant ensemble interplay, conjuring the quiet glamour of empty ballrooms, smoky jazz clubs, and the contemplative hours after the last dance.

Created through guided AI generation, the album was shaped through careful selection, refinement, and sequencing of performances, focusing on phrasing, tonal nuance, and the dialogue between human intention and machine creativity.
​
The result is a refined, instrumental journey rooted in 1940s swing tradition, where haunting melodies, restrained orchestral textures, and sophisticated clarinet lines converge in a late-night celebration of style and mood—in the spirit and style of Artie Shaw.
