Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Medieval Games
Reviewer: Feline Beacon
Positive Comments: Excellent song…I do listen to fusion on a regular basis, it was always playing in the house when I was growing up. Great hook, which is something that I feel is overlooked in a lot of jazz…I think sometimes the artist(s) get so focused on virtuosity that the idea of communicating to the audience is lost. This hook is memorable, the piece has a great feel to it, AND the playing is outstanding.The quality of the recording, mixdown and mastering are top-notch and certainly radio-ready. I would imagine this piece would in fact be most marketable for the TV/Film industry, it sure invokes a feeling of danger and action, very much like the secret agent films of the 60’s.Great job!
Constructive Comments: Anything I put down here for criticism would quite honestly be nit-picking on the sub-atomic level, especially coming from someone who yeah IS a musician and composer and DOES listen to fusion regularly for years, I can’t fault any of the playing or engineering without sounding like an ass.
