Broadjam Artist: Chris Landi
Song: Easy Does It

Reviewer: John van Wicklen

Positive Comments: Billy Joel chilling on the keys, smooth pleasant melody.

Constructive Comments: I would extend the song, perhaps write a distinct bridge. Otherwise very nice melody.

Broadjam Artist: Tranz
Song: Fierce

Reviewer: SRJ

Positive Comments: Overall, I really enjoy your production and some parts are better than others. It has a really late 80s/early 90s rave feel to it which I like a lot. Great use of instrumentation.

Constructive Comments: There are too many parts in the track that don’t fit – you jump from one section to another without any proper transition and therefore the track doesn’t totally gel in its entirety.

Broadjam Artist: Paul Messina
Song: Till We Meet Again

Reviewer: bluecountry1976.com

Positive Comments: A fantastic recording and showcase for the instruments – mainly Sax. I would listen to more of this artist from this and like the arrangement. It is interesting and moody. A great feel.

Constructive Comments: The rhythm track has a good feel for the main instruments to build the track up from. A quality ending that really worked.

Broadjam Artist: Gee Starr
Song: Everybody

Reviewer: bluecountry1976.com

Positive Comments: An excellent recording. This really captures what the artist is about and will lead people to want to hear more from the. The hook and lyrics sell the piece well. It’s a great arrangement. This is a crossover piece also – it has it’s identity and influences but draws new people in to listen.

Constructive Comments: For the aim and point of the song and therefore the artist. This ticks all the right boxes.

Broadjam Artist: Steven Furr
Song: Keep It Moving

Reviewer: bluecountry1976.com

Positive Comments: A great rhythm track and arrangement. Interesting movement in the chords to create an interesting guitar solo. Loved the piano/keys sounds also. This track would definitely lead people into listening to more from the artist.

Constructive Comments: An interesting guitar theme, well played. An unprocessed/traditional Jazz Guitar sound may be worth considering, but (fair play to you) that might not be your style or aim/motivation. Just a personal opinion, as the guitar features so much and is played well.
