Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Lost In A Blue Serene / Jazz Standard
Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: I got into the abstract elements in this song. I liked the muted trumpet and Rhodes piano a lot. Echos of the great Dave Brubeck in the melodies. Good interaction with the horn and piano. I think you should keep making music, these melodies are stuck in my head!!!
Constructive Comments: Sounds a lot like it wants to be the great song “Take 5”. Not really together for me. the drums are just doing their own thing, nobody is really forming a pocket for the song to settle into. You should be following the drums and bass. Maybe the piano was played (improvised and edited) and then you added other instruments like drums and everything?? Final recording process should start with whatever rhythm section you are using then add melodies, solos, changes, breaks, tutti’s and whatever. Try to lock in more with the rhythm section. I think the drum loop is in 3 and the melody is phrased in 5 so for me, as a drummer it feels very uneasy. Piano distorts here and there. ok I know you’re not a professional, I apologize for the numbers. Enjoy making music, I did like the song.
