Broadjam Artist: Tony Tersmette
Song: Over Easy

Reviewer: Bhaskar_The_Maximalist

Positive Comments: Exactly what one hopes to hear from a soft jazz song. The tone, pitch and tempo are perfect for placement in a commercial or as background music.I like the doubling of tempo in the middle section.The “bar feel” with the background chatter is a nice touch.

Constructive Comments: I was half-expecting a husky female voice to step in any time. This would sound so much better with vocals, the song is almost begging for one.Might you consider a different snare sound, perhaps, in the middle section? Something a bit softer?

Broadjam Artist: Gregory Coleman
Song: Just You and Me

Reviewer: Bhaskar_The_Maximalist

Positive Comments: Good gentle stuff, works well in the background, I think, and sections could be used in TV commercials or as background scores. The length is ideally suited for such purposes.

Constructive Comments: The instruments sound a bit too plastic to me, especially the bass. Maybe it is my headphones (Bose), but perhaps bringing more organicity to the instruments will improve the texture of the song overall.

Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Kitty

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Very lush vocal sound a la Inga (Riding into Blue). Check out that tune if you don’t know it (Trevor Horn production). Really interesting song which sounds professionally produced. Lyrically I wasn’t so sure but with a great delivery like this it proves that if you sing with conviction you can sing the phone book and people will ‘buy it’.

Constructive Comments: I think it’s just great as it is.

Broadjam Artist: Hartmut Oberdieck
Song: culture shock

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Intelligent music that is sadly in short supply these days! Nice work. Loving the less is more approach. Nice jazz runs in there too!

Constructive Comments: Nothing really to add as it’s sweet enough.

Broadjam Artist: Ante Novaselic
Song: POW

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Not sure of the bass is real or not – these days technology can imitate just about anything! Sounds great though!

Constructive Comments: Loved the vocal moog type bass that came in – I’d make a lot more use of that throughout.

Broadjam Artist: Klaus Sander
Song: Mystic December Night

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Always difficult to score an instrumental fairly when I think it was originally a vocal tune and this is simply the instrumental version. If I’m wrong and this was written exclusively as an instrumental then it needs a more dynamic lead instrument with a lot more presence.

Constructive Comments: This belongs in a category other than RnB!

Broadjam Artist: Russ Steele
Song: Sacred Geometry

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Instantly loved the groove and feel. Very reminiscent of so many great 80’s artists like Dazz Band, Kenny Thomas, Love and Money etc. You should check out Love and Money’s track Jocelyn Square – I think you’ll love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KostJs1qRToNice bass playing! Great programming. Nice patches.

Constructive Comments: Nothing really to add here as I like it already.
