\"Josh<\/p>\n

Broadjam Artist: <\/b>Josh Walker<\/a>
Song: <\/b>Just As I Am<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewer: <\/b>Jeff Roberts<\/a><\/p>\n

Positive Comments: <\/b>At first I thought this had nothing to do with Bossa Nova but then it kicks in. Nice groove–this a Stevie Wonder bossa nova sound. The flute parts are really outstanding–the tone and lines really make the tune.<\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>I’d drop that whole intro, and come in with the groove. The rhythm section is very “band in a box” –it’s tight and well constructed but missing the pizzazz that live players could bring. The changes in a Bossa Nova tune would be a bit more complex but I think you’re aiming for a more “Bossa & Blues” sound, and it’s very good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
