Shoot The Breeze by Nigel Barrett

Nigel Barrett

Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Shoot The Breeze

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Very nicely constructed melody over a smooth jazz /R&b form. I can hear this melody and basic groove being used in a lot of places, TV/Movie ect, similar to a lot of 80’s TV backing tracks. Maybe driving in a city late at night or a couple dancing in the dark on an empty dance floor.

Constructive Comments: The melody is good, the sax patch sounds terrible, but the phrasing is quite nice. For that matter all the instruments sound dated. Drums are a bit static, and it really doesn’t need to be 6 minutes long unless there is some kind of serious variation or buildup. This has a lot of potential in style and core ideas but to be this long something more needs to happen.
