I don't know how jazz trumpet would differ from classical or pop trumpet (not being a trumpeter or a jazz aficionado, nor pop for that matter), but I'm pleased with the BOB Orchestral Brass, available from Sampletekk, which also includes french horn, trombone and tuba. I say it's a pity, because Sampletekk had a 50% off sale running throughout December: the normal price is $98 so half that seemed like exceptional value. I stocked up on a lot of their products! It's available in HALion, Kontakt, EXS24 and most importantly, Giga. It's a shame the samples aren't a little longer, it's a bit like playing a Mellotron! I just wish it were possible to set Fantasia/Linuxsampler to monophonic for playing lead lines. The great thing about BOB is that there is two of everything, so you can double parts and it will sound realistically like two instruments playing, because it is. The website is www.sampletekk.com and there are sound samples. I've also just got the Native Instruments Sax & Brass soundpack, again an offer which finished yesterday. I've not had much chance to play with it but it seems quite nice, although the non-cost Kore Player (running under Wine) keeps getting booted by JACK every now and again, which is a bit of a nuisance, but no big deal.

It's worth the money IMO, but I think that it was lot cheaper earlier. Examples and anything here: http://www.bigfishaudio.com/4DCGI/detail.html?769 Jostein
