Song builds well.  Song builds well to the B section, all elements in the right place.  Beautiful space within the arrangement, thank you for not cluttering it up&#8230;. hearing too much of that here on bj.  Mature song writer, the melodies are solid and supported well by the rhythm section.  Nice parts and syncopation.  Loved the break at 3:50, well placed and executed.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>Sax sound is somewhat distracting as it is obviously a keyboard. So glad to not have many comments here&#8230; you should see my other reviews!!! Ok the key change was a little cheesy for me, felt the song was so strong that it didn&#8217;t need that, took it to a Kenny G element. Only thing which would improve this song would be live instruments (drums, bass, sax, percussion) but that&#8217;s just my preference&#8230; and I know we are all using elements which we have access too, we can&#8217;t afford to hire great players for all our songs&#8230;. I get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Nigel BarrettSong: Shoot The BreezeReviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)Positive Comments: Sweet traditional intro, arranged well, minimal.
