Johnny Mercer Centennial Celebration Concert featuring Lizz Wright, Joe Gransden and the Georgia State University Jazz Band
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Johnny Mercer Centennial events concluded with a special performance of Johnny Mercer's music with Lizz Wright, Joe Gransden and the Georgia State University Jazz Band. Lizz Wright studied voice at Georgia State University, and continued her musical education at New York's New School and in Vancouver. Returning to Atlanta, she won considerable regional acclaim after joining the jazz group In the Spirit. In 2002, Wright gained high-profile acclaim for her performances as part of a touring Billie Holiday tribute, for which she was singled out as a future star by several prominent critics. She is currently a Verve recording artist, and one of the jazz world's most celebrated rising stars, both as an accomplished songwriter and a versatile, deeply expressive singer. Joe Gransden also studied music at Georgia State University, and the trumpeter/vocalist has performed worldwide and released seven CDs under his own name. Joe grew up in an environment that was rich in music, and soon after high school he was on the road as a sideman with the big bands of Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller. This was followed by a number of gigs with notable artists including Barry White, The Moody Blues, Kenny Rogers, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, and The Whispers. Joe currently makes Atlanta his home, and his group, The Joe Gransden Trio, is a staple of the thriving Atlanta jazz music scene.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
