Reviewer: Jamsz

Broadjam Artist: Osea Codega
Song: Gleam

Reviewer: Floyd Kelly

Positive Comments: The falling leaves dance upon the winter’s air cast in misty blue hues. The crying of the ghost of musical myth, portends the past of billow’s dark. Seek forth the blue lakes on cobalt shores, with the dark taunt of piano doors.

Constructive Comments: This is a nice relaxing composition. The changeup – seemed odd and to me personally, didn’t fit into the motif created by the pianist. This would be nice with a fuller mix filling the listener’s sound field. Other than that have a great day enjoyed listening.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Texacan Love (Alt. Country – from “Taxi To Tonganoxie”)

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Funky little country blues with a really nice arrangement and overall feel and vibe.

Constructive Comments: No real criticism , subject it pretty predicable but execution is very good. Arrangement is solid and flows well, vocals are quite good, nice slide work.

Broadjam Artist: Glenda Jackson
Song: Revive America (Official)

Reviewer: Jeff Maguire

Positive Comments: Nice arrangement, well recorded, honest sentiments.

Constructive Comments: Pretty well written tune, lyrics get a little repetitive after a while. I hear what your going for but it comes across more like a commercial than a song about deep love of country … exactly who do you want to revive America, who are they ? What’s it mean to be great to you?

Broadjam Artist: STEPHEN CONNOLLY
Song: We wish you a Merry Christmas

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the sound of the horns and the lead vocals as well. Very wonderful Christmas Song done well!

Constructive Comments: I think this version is a very good one however, I think it would sound better if there were more people in the backing vocals – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: N.Jones, Music Designer (Protilius Productions)
Song: Only birds ever see the sky (2016)

Reviewer: Floyd Kelly

Positive Comments: This is pretty cool electronic music to listen to when I am untangling a messy bunch of cords I need for my computer. Ugh! It’s maddening I tell you! This music sets a nice pace! I can now methodically untangle all these wires and get all my gadgets hooked up and working again! Thank you Mr. Music Composer.

Constructive Comments: The first thing we noticed about this musical composition is the sound quality – althought it is bold – it is also quite muddy and distorted too much. We are not sure if it is intentional but we think it takes away from enjoying the full picture being provided by the artist. The piano could have been more present and clearer. We listened to this twice, trying to discern if all the “scratchiness” in the recording is intentional or not. Anyways, other than that, this is a full-bodied mix. As for being more “musical” – this could use a few adjustments in the mix to bring clarity and purpose. Please remember, until these moments, our family has never heard this before, we do not know the artist or how it was made. Have a great day.

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Twenty Years Ago (Instrumental)

Reviewer: Sam Cooper

Positive Comments: Down the line, this might be good for some background in a movie or tv show…or maybe a commercial or documentary.

Constructive Comments: Not much to offer, considering this is an instrumental and it’s fine for what it is.
