WALKTHROUGH


THE CONCEPT

This library taps into an as of yet explored sub-genre within Jazz. The 'cool jazz' style. A style made most famous by people like Miles Davis & Chet Baker. With slow brooding melodies, over soft and Smokey accompaniment. With the 'muted' trumpet being so synonymous with the style, this instrument really leads the way within this collection. Attempting to embody that classic ultra-specific sound of the style, this library does what no other can.

Adore this library

I purchased this library, primarily that it has all of the instruments for jazz, which is pretty generous. It’s cohesive and scratches that create itch. You can make full jazz songs with it and it is a great addition to what I own currently. The Black Friday 65% off was a great bonus!!!!

Excellent

I acquired the Cool Jazz Collection a few months back to compose in the Jazz and Bossa Nova style. I've found it incredibly valuable, offering just the right customization options for shaping the sound. The minimalist approach truly works wonders here. It provides everything I need for my intended musical goals. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the sound quality and the comprehensive features this library brings.
