Hey Jeff thanks for your review of Dream Time, a BG instrumental chop...never heard of Stone to my knowledge, but certainly didn't copy anyone else's work, so I guess that was a compliment?
Cheers
Warren

Hi Jeff , thanks for your great review of SURFING THE NET , glad you enjoyed it . It's been a favourite of mine over the years , and has always been well received .



Hi Jeff I totally agree. I was as to write a cover for one of the artist Levon Beoadjam for a Six Pack cover can I was really po'd what he did to it. Check out just the piano file. Felice Kaye-Cooper

Glad we agree,Felice. I was probably a little less critical than I might have been about the vocal, But the piano playnig was nice.

Thanks

And a great review of Demons In Your Darkness. It goes back a while, I think about 2003 when I was particularly influenced by music of the Eagles. Any reference to the them is a major compliment, thank you.



Hi Jeff, Thanks for the review of Moroccan Star... So cool, Alan Parsons, I can totally hear that... and a lot of my songs have a Floyd vibe but this may blow your mind... I wrote this song in memory of Ronnie Montrose after he passed away so young back around 2014?? Anyways, I got to play with Ronnie, two auditions back in the mid 80s but I didn't get the gig... was a great experience playing with him though. Thanks for the good review!!

Hi Dave, it's an awesome track. I very much enjoyed listening to it. If I enjoyed listening to everything here as much, I'd be here all day just listening.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the listen/comments on "Papa Don't Mind". Wrote most of it back in the mid '80's, this version is about 6 to 7years old. The synth patches are what I had, and my voice isn't what it once was but I love to write and put stuff together and I've got to use what I have...probably like most here on Bjam. Always appreciate your input.

Hi Bill
It's a great tune.



Dave here again... this doesn't happen very often but you almost nailed the name of my song "March of the Militant" with your title "The March"... so I guess that point was very well represented in the song. Yes I set out to create a 'period piece' and pretty much nailed the march part. Thank you for the props on my orchestration; I have always felt this good about the construction of melodies in this song... you were spot on with all of your comments especially about my weak (mostly brass) sound palette, I know it's actually embarrassing to me because I have a pretty high recording standard but it's also a pretty old song. However I do want to point out that you missed on one comment; you were certain that the snare drums had to be virtual (not played live) which was similar to a comment you had on another song you reviewed where you thought the guitar player virtual... this time I think your comment was "You've also made the marching snare sound live though it certainly is not"... wrong, most certainly the snare drum playing feels live because it is live, I played the snare drum. That is quite a complement!! I did a lot of overdubs on various drums to create that disheveled Civil War military band sound. I do things old school like still recording live people. Also I'm into world music so hopefully you'll have a chance to review some of those songs.. I appreciate your fair and thorough reviews.

Snare definite sounded live, I should have figured that means it's live :) Surrounded by sampled instruments I figured it was sampled. After I realized it was you that did it I figured it was probably live as I recall from one of your reviews that you are a drummer that owns a studio. Great work Dave.



Hi Jeff, Thanks for your fair and detailed review of "Apocalypse". No virtual guitar players in this studio, I appreciate the review points.

Jeff,
Thanks for the review and comments on "I Think of You". Started out as a Bossa Nova tune but morphed into what it is now. Not he perfect mix but maybe I'll get back to it and clean it up a bit. As always, thanks for the input.

Hey, Jeff. It's late so I caught a little bit of some of your tunes and know I've got to stop by for a longer and thoughtful listen. Your review of "He Doesn't Know" is excellent and insightful. You have some very good ideas and I think I'll make a "singles" version of the song, cutting the minutes and trying out the closer to jazz style. Many thanks and I'll drop by again!

Jeff,
I appreciate the review and comments on "Maybe". I was actually aiming at the 'late 40's and early 50's with this tune. It's really written for a female vocalist but I had to settle for me. And I'd love to hear it done with a full blown orchestra arrangement...but....

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the review and comments on "Fun Outside". Gotta be at least a 30 year old recording, and you nailed it...it was just an idea that I put down on tape and never got back to ...maybe someday...
Thanks again,

I've sold three songs here and toured nationally three times before I was 25. I play about 100 gigs a year. A couple weeks ago another aspiring Nashville wanna be gave a different tune of mine straight ones and a week ago I sold it. I don't care if you like what I do or not, your review had exactly nothing to do with the reality of the material and was insulting for no reason whatsoever, so you get back what you give out only worse. But you are always welcome at the Green Iguana in Tampa any time you want to step in a stage with real musicians and show what you got.

Writing in all caps is considered rude and discourteous. It's a sign of an over an inflated ego and a lazy mans way of calling attention to himself. It can be understood as the internet equivalent of shouting, but might more accurately be described as the adult equivalent of an infant crying because it's diaper needs to be changed.

Hey Barry, thanks for the review of Phil Woods, what you refer to as distortion on the trumpet is a lip trill , it's like a growling sax, it is a pretty sophisticated effect. It is a matter of taste, but it's intentional and entirely consistent with the style, listen to Kenny Dorham's solo right about 1 minute mark on Blue Bossa .... Granted the recording could be louder so at some point I may change that .... check this out if you want to hear a lip trill on a trumpet. It does sound distorted.

fair enough, I wasn't quite sure what I was hearing , not sure if it was distorted, I just knew there was something happening there and That was all I could think of that it could be> sorry for my ignorance. drop that song into some mastering software and you can bring it up to full volume, I assume it was a live track which is always a little tougher to master.

No worries, there definitely is a distorted sound in the part of the trumpet part but it's intentional ... If you like jazz check out Kenny Dorham's solo on the original version of Blue Boss with Joe Henderson. He used to do it a lot,

Hey Jeff... Thank you for your nice insightful review of my song BABY PLEASE. You are absolutely correct... It is very reminiscent of the Atlanta rhythm section song. That's intentional. This was recorded for a project for song licensing in the southern rock vein

Thanks, Jeff, for the review of Mediterraneo. I know that the song is a bit long and underdeveloped. This was a demo for a little movie and was used just like you hear it. It was licensed as is so I decided to post the song on broadjam. I will work on a more developed version that is not an impprovv. Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks, Jeff, for the very fair review of Victory. I'm glad somebody besides me sees how horrible that crashing cymbal sounds. I left the final touches of that in someone else's hands, and I wish I would have recognized this at that time. It needs to be remade.
