Jazz VSTs

[XPRTNovice ⚖️]

Hey guys,

I'm about to do a bigger jazz project for a video game and I'm looking for good jazz samples. I can do some myself, but I was wondering if anyone had used Garritan's Big Band 3 and what they thought of it/if they thought there were other sample sets better for that jazzy feel.

I was also considering addictive drums with the brush kit, so would appreciate any feedback on those as well.
