In 1948 at NYC’s Onyx Club, Parker (as) and Monk (p) deliver a rare, electric pairing on “Well, You Needn’t.” Though rough, Benedetti’s private tape captures the room. Their official collaborations were few—making 1950’s “Bird and Diz” key—limited by cabaret card suspensions.

In practice, the most workable approach is to measure a composite “civility score” built from multiple indicators.

  1) Model-based indicators (machine learning) Toxicity/Aggression: Use Jigsaw’s Perspective API to obtain probabilities for “TOXICITY,” “INSULT,” “PROFANITY,” “IDENTITY_ATTACK,” etc. Japanese is supported (see the official language table). Politeness: Stanford’s research established a framework for estimating “politeness” from markers like request forms, hedges, honorifics, etc. It’s English-centric, but the methodology can be adapted to Japanese. The R package politeness is also useful. 2) Lightweight rules for Japanese (highly interpretable) Honorific/hedge rate: Ratios of “です/ます,” “〜でしょうか,” “お手数ですが,” “お願いします,” and the like. Presence of slurs/derogatory terms: A custom NG-word list (including figurative or euphemistic forms). Imperatives/strong assertions: Frequency of “〜しろ,” “〜に決まってる,” heavy use of exclamation marks, ALL-KATAKANA bursts, etc. Consideration/evidence markers: Signs of dialogic and verifiable style such as “根拠：,” “出典：,” “もし〜なら.” 3) ...
