Jazz Quartet is a superbly produced selection of jazz works that feature drums, double bass, guitar and piano.
The sounds are provided as construction kits and the samples themselves come in WAV, REX and Apple Loops formats.
The kits are categorised by key and tempo and each folder contains a preview mix of all the instruments and individual drum, bass, guitar and piano parts.
The recording quality is excellent and the musicianship equally impressive. Our only (very minor) criticism is that there's a touch of bleed between the instruments on certain tracks.

“There’s three of us playing guitar in Foo Fighters… A lot of tone details can get lost, which is what drew me to the Cleaver – that P-90 cut”: Chris Shiflett on how he found his weapon of choice with his Fender Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe
