Song: Take Me (duet)
Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Really nice duet vocal. Solid performances and production. Love this song. The band is smoking1 has to be some of the best musicians in town… has that LA sound… Larry Carlton-ish solo was sweet. Top notch recording all around. Drum track is sooo right! Love the quarter note hat, not trying to shuffle it… while keeping it blues and jazzy not at all rock which if not performed with the right velocity, feel and control could have sounded rock. The drums are so consistent and clean that I may be fooled… could be samples and great programming… the Rhodes solo is beautiful, the whole track reminds me of Donald Fagens Nightfly album but with better production (dig that!). Mix is fantastic! This music is happy and brilliantly written and performed. Congrats on your enormous talent… know and believe that you are setting a new standard for REAL music in today’s society of button pushers and rehashes…. thank you!!
Constructive Comments: So envious of your talent, production and writing skills. Killed it in every way! This has to be the same artist as the song I just previously reviewed. Good luck… I know you are successful already but wishing to hear more of this music in the mainstream. Let me know if you ever play Catalina Jazz Club… I’m a big fan of this music.
