Good GM Soundset for MTS (SoundFonts, AU, etc.)

Does anyone have a recommendation for good sounding General MIDI set? Using the internal SoundFonts player I've found FreeFont and Roland to be about the best of the bunch overall. Those are free but I'm certainly willing to pay for a better sound set & AU would be fine as well. I'm looking for something with better sounding acoustic drums, acoustic & electric bass. My needs are rather plain vanilla as far as sounds go, using them to play mostly MIDI files of jazz standards, some funk & jazz arrangements of "Boomer" tunes (Beatles, Stevie Wonder, some songs from the 80's & 90's, etc.). Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, shorty. I did give them a quick glance & they looked very promising. I'll dive into them a little deeper in the next few days. Thanks again!
