Broadjam Artist: Mark Tha Shark
Song: The Intermission

Reviewer: Richard Espinor

Positive Comments: The recording quality, to me, lacks a certain “quality” that is not easy to explain. I hope the recording artist continues to record.

Constructive Comments: I would like to hear the lead guitar player improvisations sound “louder.” Please continue to record your songs.

Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: Sweet Margarite

Reviewer: Richard Espinor

Positive Comments: I keep thinking what I can say about this tune. The recording quality, to me, is lacking some “feeling” that, to me, does not have the market style of a Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Constructive Comments: I hope the recording artist will take some time to listen to his recording and listen to other great jazz bossa nova recording artists and notice what he can do to improve his style.

Broadjam Artist: Steve Dafoe – Songwriter
Song: Black Ghost (Country-Contemporary Pop/Acoustic Roots)

Reviewer: Richard Espinor

Positive Comments: The recording quality is good and the singer is a good story teller. I think the singer has a good country singing style and the song is marketable. I think the song would do well on a country radio station.

Constructive Comments: I can not say anything about the quality of the recording or the singing style of the singer. I think the singer has a good country singing voice and the song, I think , is a original. In other words, I like the song.

Broadjam Artist: Kirsty McGee
Song: Love’s Great Lie

Reviewer: Richard Espinor

Positive Comments: I like the bass line in this tune and I like the female singer’s singing style and I hope the group continues to create more original music. The female singer reminds me of the rock and roll singer from Ireland and I can not think of her name.

Constructive Comments: Overall I like the song and I think the tune has marketable possibility. I can not think of any thing the recording artist needs to do to make the song better. I like the song and I like the singer.

Broadjam Artist: FRED GROSS
Song: Jitter Bug Rock

Reviewer: Richard Espinor

Positive Comments: I think I did not hear a musical theme or a memorable riff. The bass line sounds like it was dragging a little and I feel the tune was OK.

Constructive Comments: I think if your tune had a musical theme or memorable riff it would help this instrumental musical piece. I hope you continue to create your music and continue to learn about songwriting and listen to other well known recording artists.
