Modal Jazz & Post-Bop

Created by NYC producers half.cool, Modal Jazz & Post Bop is a sample pack dedicated to the era of Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, and Albert Ayler. The pack includes a wide range of saxophone samples, that demonstrate smooth horn stacks and swells of post-bop lineage, as well as chromatic intervals and harmonies aligned with the school of free jazz. In addition, you’ll find expressive drum loops, erratic and mind-bending guitar, alongside warm, glittering electric piano––all to provide a substantial collection of sounds from the era.

This pack was recorded live in Bristol,Tennessee at Classic Recording Studio, with the help of engineer Mike Stephenson. Together the team was able to capture and re-create sounds from the most unique and explorative time in the history of Jazz. In addition to the half.cool team, Modal Jazz & Post Bop features the playing of prominent NYC Jazz musicians Walter Stinson, Drew Vandewinckel, Keenyn Omari, and Juno Arreglado.
