Looking for Jazz "Ensemble Fall" samples- Advice?

[LGK_Dude]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a free "jazz fall" samples, but I'm having a hard time finding anything on google. Perhaps I am not searching the correct term? Is "Jazz fall" correct? What I'm looking for is a quick hit on a note and fall down though a scale, like what you would hear from a small jazz ensemble. Its hard to describe in words, but you hear them all over in jazz music, especially commercial jazz.

Since I need something free I wont be picky, though I would like one with trumpets and saxes. I can find orchestral hits all over the net, so I would think one could find a "jazz fall" hit as well, right?

I thank you in advance for any help you can provide, and if you do find something, please let me know HOW you found it so I hopefully dont have to ask this type of question in the future. THANKS!

sorry not for providing you a link for free sounds but if you're really needing something very useful, just check out the 'greg adams big band brass'-library of bigfishaudio - yes, it costs money. but it's worth the few bucks. you'll get a few thousand (!) amazing sounds of all kind and at least 100 different 'fall'-sounds and -chords. the quality is perfect and it might never replace anything you'll find on the net.

...since you're not going to be too fussy about quality. Here's one I made. Four trumpets, five saxes.

or www.richiebee.ca/hornfallmix.wav

I made this myself... if you want it in a different key let me know. If you want a chord... let me know.

The MP3 is 26kb (encoded 256kbps), the WAV is 136kb (44.1Khz/16bit).

There's a great slow brass fall at the end of Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. As for the paid libs and CD's, I'm currently a student and unfortunately cannot afford to spend any money right now (need it for food)! Though I will keep them in mind.

Richiebee, I am in your debt! This should work great for my purposes, however, if its not too much trouble, is it possible to get it in the key of A, and maybe a little slower of a fall, as one would hear to end a piece? If not its fine, what I have can work, and I really dont want you to spend too much time one it. You already went way above and beyond the call just creating this one! Its people like you that truly make this world a better place, and for that I thank you!

Perhaps your generosity stems from watching your Canadian womans hockey team. Man are they good!!

All the best,
Jon

I'm indebted to the wonderful people that bring us stuff like KVR, and all the wonderful free VSTi's out there! If I can give back, I will.

That said, anything I can do will ahve to wait til Tuesday evening... today's nuts - work til 5, zip home, shove down some supper and then out to gig for 7. It's the last show tonight (#10), so tomorrow night is a free night for me.

So... if you can wait til tomorrow night, perhaps you could give me more on what you're looking for.

How long do you want the last note to be? Is it a stab with a quick fall or a long note with a really long fall? Does it have an end note? If I have a context, I can create something to suit.

Sorry for the delay, and thanks once again for your willingness to help!

Length of the note, if possible, should be around 1 second, and the fall, if possible, around 3-4 seconds. No specific end note, though if you want to, you can make it an A. It should sound like a hit at the end of a tune.

Thanks again for your willingness to help! I really owe you man. How did your gig go BTW? Let me know when your website is "plugged back in." I'd love to hear some of your stuff. Sounds like you have some serious trumpet chops!
