Broadjam Artist: Emmett North Jr.
Song: Azetta’s Theme
Reviewer: Bill Dake
Positive Comments: Nice groove and some tasty licks.
Constructive Comments: You obviously have some chops and pyrotechnics are fun but listen to George Benson ( sounds like you’ve learned some of his licks) and try to play more melodically and rhythmically to support the groove. Stringing a bunch of fast bits and pieces together is fun but the listener gets tired of it pretty quickly. Benson, Metheny, Scofield, guys like that are masters of playing in the pocket and though they can rip it up are most memorable when they’re playing melodically and totally in the grove. Slow down and listen to what you’re playing…you’ve got the ability.
