The Jazz Works Series includes acoustic and electric pianos, Jazz drums, upright bass, jazz guitar, baritone and tenor saxophone, flute, flugelhorn and trumpet - raw and authentic jazz, ready for your ideas.
The comping performances provide the core chord progression on acoustic piano, electric piano and electric guitar. A PDF is included which details all of the chord sequences used. All of the kits also provide a combination of multiple solo instruments. Throughout, the sound is pristine, authentic and presented without compression. This direct, dynamic, sound gives you full control over your mix decisions.
For the upright bass, a minimum of three different phrase/performance options are provided, with premixed, microphone and piezo recordings available in each case. Within each construction kit, alongside the pre-mixed drum loops, some combination of individual loops of also provided. These include kick (inside and out mic), snare (top and bottom mic), hi-hat, cymbals toms, overheads and room, allowing for full control over the drum mix for your project.
The musical styles capture both traditional and modern jazz moods, but the infectious drumbeats, melodic bass grooves, cool chord progressions and classy solos could easily cross over into RnB, Hip-Hop, Soul, Chillout, and Lounge or House and other electronic genres. The second volume of the series focuses on more traditional jazz styles including Swing, Upswing, Boogaloo, Latin and Brasil Jazz. The third volume of the series focuses on more laid-back and late-night moods but spans a range of smooth jazz styles including Swing, Latin Jazz and Jazz Ballads.
