The prompt
A wistful jazz track with driving energy and a swung feel at 115 BPM. The low end is upright bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, block chords. The arrangement follows AABA. A trumpet leads, improvising over the changes. Analog hiss adds texture, with a slapback delay on the lead. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding melodic lead and low-end weight, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.

The source recording is deleted once the analysis finishes, and no lyrics from it are stored. The measurements and classifications are automated estimates, so use them as a starting point and trust your ears.
