"Very convincing..."

submission: Bosa Christmas 2006

date: July 22, 2007

Saxophone synth that is. At first I had thought it was an actual saxophone in the beginning few notes. A sound that would fool a normal listener. I'll never warm up to syth saxes (mostly because it puts me out of a job...).

Other than that, it was a fine masterpiece.

Score: 9

"Nice little melody"

submission: ReelBigJAXX - Take it down

date: March 7, 2007

I'd like to hear this in a big band, sounds like it could happen. Is this you're original composition? If it is, and you don't mind, I'd be willing to attempt to arrange it for a big band.

Score: 10

"Smoth jazz..."

submission: Urban Color

date: January 31, 2007

But still, quite well done. I've got to admit, of all the smooth jazz out there, this was in the top ten.

You made it soothing without leaving it bland.It has wonderfull swells of intensity strong enough to draw me back in as I start to drift away.

And it never floated around one single idea for too long (like so many tend to do...), which was a pleasure to hear.

Once again, while I'm an old school bop and cool cat myself, this is more than worthy of recieving a 10.

Score: 10

"Nice funkadelic happenings!"

submission: Funky Loop...maybe for a menu?

date: December 21, 2006

Very funky! That guitar was perfect, although the bass seemed to mellow for the guitar... I'd suggest a slap bass, like the one in the Seinfeild (I don't know if I spelled tha right) song... Still kick ass awesome!

Score: 10

"This... Is... Amazing!"

submission: One Last Goodbye V.2

date: December 21, 2006

I don't have words to describe ths talent... You have a gift. A gift few people posses. It reminds me of Gershwin for an odd reason, and I don't know it. But it has that feeling. This is so going on my IPOD, if you don't mind?

Score: 2

"That's not ska..."

submission: i need to poo

date: December 20, 2006

Or at least, not any that I've ever heard... I don't know what to call it, just not ska. Ska usually has some sort of hornsection, and some guitars... Don't man... Still... Better that some crap I've heard.

Score: 9

"Good enough to be jazz..."

submission: Jazzin in your face

date: December 19, 2006

I like the violin in jazz... It's so commonly passed over in the jazz world, but there have been a few greats... I can't recall their names at the moment, but they were there. And it did have a funky beat, but it had that swing to it. Pretty jazz IMHO.

Score: 6

"Well it isn't jazz..."

submission: Jazzy Drumz

date: December 19, 2006

Maybe some fusion, but definatly not straight jazz. That was more funk than jazz. If you want it to be jazz, give it more of swing... And one more thing, keep that bass and cymbal off 1 and 3... It'll swing better that way.

Score: 10

"Best arrangment of Mario for a big band."

submission: Super Mario 3 - Big Band Jazz

date: December 19, 2006

I'd have to say, you know what you're doing. Even if it is a layered keyboard, which I find perfectly acceptable... Escpecially when good big bands are hard to come across. I might only suggest one thing, and it isn't that big. The triple swung feel on the drums became monotanous after awhile. To get that real hip sound, throw some straight quater notes in there (a tip our jazz director tells our drummer every day...).

And for future reference to everyone, a big band usually consists of anywhere from three to five saxes, two to five trumpets, and zero to four trombones.

Seriously awesome...

Score: 10

"Another jive piece..."

submission: 500 Miles High

date: December 18, 2006

If good music equalled money, you'd be set for life. Seriously, do you make money for this? Cause you could. I would so pay to hear you at a concert. I bet any pro musician would kill to have you at their side.
