Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Quantum of Jazz
Reviewer: Josh Walker
Positive Comments: I like the groove and texture overall, as well as the instrumentation in general. The piano melody and solo are appropriate for this genre. I also like the bass and drum sound once they establish the groove.
Constructive Comments: I’m not sure I can put my finger exactly what I’d like to hear, but the best way I can put it is that it really taxes my ears through the arrangement. There is some good layering of rhythms and instrumentation, but the texture is always fairly thick throughout. On all A sections, the pad is pretty present, during the B section the similar-sounding strings have the melody with keyboards in the background, and the piano solo, the pad is back (although not quite as present). What if you tried a thinner texture at the beginning?
