Broadjam Artist: Floyd Kelly
Song: Barter Time

Positive Comments: It’s a strange instrumental, I find it more on the sophisticated pop side than under the jazz tag. The instrumentation is very midi. There are interesting bits, anyway. There’s a persistent slap bass and a very percussive rhythmic arrangement. The structure is not clear to me too. I have the subjective feeling that it’s a bit overlong.
Constructive Comments: Generally, I don’t like the sound of the instrumentation, aside the tom tom’s or whatever they are, and the slap bass – the structure. I think the arrangement it’s strange. At least it’s not so predictable. The structure puzzles me too. It seems to be an alternation between a piano section and a synth strings section, but there are slight differences each time they repeat, making it a disorienting listening experience [for me]. A bit long, probably.
