Broadjam Artist: Gary Mazzola
Song: BREATHE IN
Reviewer: Jeff Roberts
Positive Comments: Really tasty piano voicings and tone with some very nice *real* sax parts. The backing vocals are just luscious. This has a Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen, or Boz Scaggs sophistication. Nice guitar solo and lots of space in the arrangement. There’s potential in this tune that’s just a few tweaks away. I really enjoyed it!
Constructive Comments: There’s a room slap in the vocal recording–this really detracts from a solid vocal performance. HUGE timing issue on the walkup at 1:46 –you gotta fix that. Same on “let the moonlight” and bridge/solo section. All the life drops out on that bridge. These are midi keys, right? so no excuse not to fix that stuff–you gotta come a little ahead of the bit on those key stabs it’s killing your tune, and this is a very good tune.
