Broadjam Artist: Gary Mazzola
Song: LAST THING
Reviewer: Jeff Roberts
Positive Comments: Really strong Steely Dan vibe here. Hip arrangement with Soul elements and some Jazz. I like the stops, breaks and the riffs you’ve put in. The bass is doing so very cool behind the beat riffing on the breaks and it’s cool when you launch back into straight 4/4 walking.
Constructive Comments: The key sounds are kinda thin–if they were just a bit dirty/overdriven and fatter it would make a huge difference. Bigger drums and a fatter gutsier bass likewise. The vocals are too much “in the kitchen” sounding, and honestly I don’t think you’re working effectively with your voice. Some of the phrasing doesn’t really zing like it should. This is all *tweak* stuff offered as input on a very musical effort.
