Swing is a salient feature of jazz music, yet its main psychoacoustical and musical components have remained elusive—save the obvious long-short subdivision of quarter notes. In particular, the possible role of microtiming deviations for swing has been a subject of long-standing controversy. Adopting an operational definition of swing we present a study which ultimately demonstrates a positive effect of certain microtiming deviations on swing. We manipulate the timing of original piano recordings to carry out an experiment with professional and semi-professional jazz musicians measuring the swing of different timing conditions. Thereby we prove that slightly delayed downbeats and synchronized offbeats of a soloist with respect to a rhythm section enhance swing. Analyzing a set of 456 jazz improvisations we find that many jazz musicians do use minute downbeat delays. These results show that systematic microtiming deviations in the form of downbeat delays are a key component of swing in jazz."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s42005-022-00995-z"],["dc.identifier.pii","995"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/116651"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-605"],["dc.relation.eissn","2399-3650"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Downbeat delays are a key component of swing in jazz"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
