"Damn, ProjectSAM gets this sh*t right. Swing More! is insane. No one else comes close to capturing the Big Band/Swing sound like these guys. What was previously unattainable is all in here."
John Debney
(The Jungle Book, Iron Man 2)
Overview
From the early years of animation to the gritty scenes of film noir, big band and jazz have a long tradition in film music. As much as we love the sound of the symphony orchestra, it tells only one part of the story. With the original Swing!, we took a first step in exploring the world of jazz and film scoring. Now, it is time to delve deeper.
We've never packed more instruments into a single library: solo saxes, jazzy clarinet, full big band chords, drums, basses, jazz guitar, piano, strings, vibraphone, small percussion - 100% new content, all blending perfectly. Meet the other film orchestra.
