Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: The Three Sisters (Jazz- Jazz Pop, Light Jazz )

Reviewer: Kirk Cole

Positive Comments: I replay dig this. It’s so laid back, and cool. This sound takes me back to the days of going to the night spots in Manhattan, and chilling out with friends. I really like the horns, especially when the trumpets come in and out. I played trumpet years ago, and I’m just getting back into trumpet and saxophone. The tinkling piano also gives the piece that cool vibe.

Constructive Comments: This piece really works. Even as I’m going through the review, I’m already replaying the piece for a third time. It has that sound where it captures you, and has you listening, and grooving, and yet it gives a calm effect where I can do other things while the piece is playing. It’s perfect for a cool out spot setting where people get together for conversation and a few drinks. Well done.

Broadjam Artist: Earl.C.Webb
Song: HUSH

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: John Lennon and Bowie got together here –did you use a Ouija board? That chorus is killer with a superb combination of words, phrasing and melody. The move into emotional falsetto on “the sweetest sound” is a tremendous moment, and the chord/melody drop on that final “oh oh oh” is just as cool. So is the lilting “things should never stay”. The drum track is both excellent sound and a superbly tasteful part. The guitars are just as good when the slightly overdriven guitar part comes in behind the chorus at 1:10 it’s freakin fantastic. The vocalist is so familiar but I can’t bring a name to mind. This is really great work!!

Constructive Comments: Keep the frog jumping contest harp/harmonica the hell out of this. The first verse has a vocal quality that turned me off at first–it’s way too boomy in low mid / bass range, and together with the slap back echo it makes the feel too campy. But when that chorus came in I was floored. The lyrics/melody on the first verse are great–what about a slightly lofi “I heard the news today oh boy” sound on that spot? That vocal quality intrudes in other places, and it’s a combination of the singing approach you’re taking and the EQ. I think the verse vocals are a bit too high in the mix?

Broadjam Artist: Margie & Art Corey
Song: Digital Love # II RANDY STEWARD

Reviewer: Jeff Roberts

Positive Comments: Thomas Dolby covering “Putting on the Ritz”!! This has a strange mix of campy elements, and it works. There’s 80’s synth pop, cabaret, and jazz. I think this is Art, and this time sounding a bit more like Boz Scaggs and Delbert McClinton. There’s a great sax here, strong vocals and melody/lyrics. Good backing vocals and a crafty writing, arranging svengali behind this group. This is a fun listen!

Constructive Comments: Not going to be a hit any time soon but 30 years ago? Mighta been!!
