Broadjam Artist: Tho’d Studio
Song: The Warmup

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the beat and the cool keyboard, I also like the occasional shouts.

Constructive Comments: I think this song has a really good beat however, I think it needs a bass guitar to bring it all together I would also insert either a saxophone or a lead guitar on the stops – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Tom Reock
Song: Local Dinosaur

Reviewer: amy abernathy

Positive Comments: The song has a good honky tonk plus modern country feel.The lyrics told a story and were relatable. It reminds me of 90’s country.

Constructive Comments: There were a few places that the singigng was out of pitch and some places it sounded really well. I felt like the music needed to be mixed a little better, you heard several competing sounds, a good producer could mix it a little better where the sounds blend beter. The ending felt a little drug out, but it was a cool song, had a nice vibe to it.

Broadjam Artist: tim meyers
Song: christmas is a treasure

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: I like the lead vocals and the backing vocals – Very good keyboard work as well.

Constructive Comments: I like the song however, the lyrics need work – there are just too many words in most of the verses. I would edit some of the words out and bring out the beautiful voices, the music is fine however, I would add a bass guitar to bring the song together – best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: I Know Who You Are (#2 BJ-Earth & #1 Jazz, Jazz-Standards))

Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)

Positive Comments: Nice recording, love the live instruments. Nice brush work on the drums and as always superb acoustic guitar playing from my buddy Chet. Harmonic gives it a nice ‘down home’ feeling, very welcoming. Mix is in place, love the organ tucked in there, not featured… just right. Very original and refreshing changes, had me wondering what the next chord was going to be.

Constructive Comments: Out of the box the song strikes me as folk not jazz but as I listen yes, it’s a jazz genre. Feeling like the mix needs a high pass filter set very low around 35hz or 40hz. Vocal seems a little pushed at times, as if the song might be a half step too high. Organ player missed the ending but covered it well (sort of) but a clean tag from that chair would have been more appropriate (I would have rolled it back and punched him in). Kick drum lacks definition, a little ‘boomy’, needed a slight boost in the high mids for attack and to cut slightly better.
