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.

Nice Niche with Wider Applications

The Review Title says it all for me. "So What?" As soon as you hear it and use it I think you'll agree---and won't be left "Kind Of Blue."

Awesome!

This library is great for recreating those noir jazz sounds of times gone by. The instruments all sound amazing and the user interface is simple to use and effective.

Armed with the Cool Jazz Collection, you’ll be recreating jazz standards in no time, or writing your own noir pieces that sound as if they’re being played by a real jazz band in a smoky club.
