I'm hoping someone can point me to a dataset with songs in MIDI format, with each instrument track separated. Ideally, they would be Jazz pieces with solos. I've already found several possible sources, but I'm hoping to someone here knows more:

I'm not sure if you have to be a member of the group or not but there are a lot of midi files here:

The Weimar Jazz Database has 300 solo transcriptions (in MIDI, PDF, and SQL tables) with chord changes and other metadata: http://jazzomat.hfm-weimar.de/dbformat/dboverview.html

Wow! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks! Size is of the essence here, so of anyone else knows of more that would still be useful.

Thanks Ryan Herr: II managed to throw this video together using the Jazz site http://jazzomat.hfm-weimar.de/dbformat/dboverview.html you suggested. My website does not use Magenta but the same PHP code to load python would work for Magenta.
