What ARTISTS LOVE - WHEN PEOPLE "GET" THEIR MUSIC.

 

REVIEWS OF MY BRAND NEW SINGLE, BLUESALICIOUS:

This song is so beautiful! I love the creative stylings of the vibraphone; it makes it happy, upbeat, and unique sounding. What a fun, cool artist! 

Extremely creative. Makes me wish that music like this was on the mainstream radio airwaves. 

Solid stuff. 

Great feel; I especially like how the individual instruments come into the song and how it blows up while playing. Good tune!!! 

Great pep, great melody, very well played. Solid arrangement. 

Makes me wanna go to NOLA and enjoy some Jazz music in a bar overlooking the beautiful city of New Orleans. 

I really appreciate this jazzy song! It had real Friday vibes for me; super relaxing and fun. 

I could imagine this playing in a movie where people were dancing. Very enjoyable to listen to. 

This song is so lively and fun. I can picture myself dancing to this in a jazz club. 

What a beautiful and classy tune. It grew on me big time as it kept playing. Great to kick back and have a relaxing drink. 

This song reminds me of old school songs I used to listen to way back in the day and it is really cool to hear music like this again. 

I love how the vibraphone gives the song a dazzling performance and melody. 

Very fun, light and very catchy. 

Great job with the construction of this piece of music. 

This is really good; lively and easy get into. You put together a good one. 

Nice little song to have for a cocktail party or an informal dinner amongst friends. Has a cool 60's vibe to it. 

I like the music; upbeat and great quality sound. Great song! 

This is an awesome song. I like the way the song has been composed. It is creating an impact while hearing this song. 

This song makes me dance a lot. 

Has a lot of potential to be a top song.

Reviews of MY RECENT single, WIJIC :

This sounds like it could be a classic tune; well done; captivated right from the beginning.

 THIS is exactly what I want from jazz.

Good jazzy track, the way it should be.

Nice melody, good mix and composition. 

This piano melody and these vibes, what a crazy jazz track! 

Really great! Joyous jazz piece that’s mixed perfectly. I love it! 

Very smooth, best jazz I’ve heard on here [SubmitHub], great work, keep it up. 

Always love jazz vibes! Lovely! 

Love that melody, keep it up!

A lot of spirit, a song that makes you feel happy.

Super cool... I love it, it's bubbly and charming and so entertaining. I could see myself making dinner on a Saturday night while listening to this and enjoying a cocktail. So grown up!

Great rhythm, the vibraphone sounds amazing and gives character to the song. The melody is fun and joyful. The piano is a great vehicle for the emotional feel of the song.

A real up up tempo classic sound of the past. I love how cheerful the music is and how good it makes me feel inside, it's got my feet tapping as it's got such a fun beat.

This is the kind of classy jazz I like. It feels sophisticated.

It made me relaxed and happy to keep listening to it. It's the type of song I could listen to anytime.

Happy jazz tune, I like it. Reminds me little of Christmas :0)

I feel like I can just relax, close my eyes and just jam out to this fun light hearted tune.

This is delightful. It is beautifully played and I loved the passion and talent displayed. A work of art; I would love to hear it again and again. It was stellar.

 I loved it, this need to be in spotify. [and it is! - SC]

 Fun tune that I could really get into!

Masterfully played; an intriguing composition. The sound quality was pure and clear, making each note stand out. Lively and energizing.

Really pleasant, fun energy. I love the vibraphone! The beat and melody are delightful. Sound quality is excellent. This is a really enjoyable listen.

I liked the way the music seemed to dance around. Like it was almost floating on air. It felt so light and airy. It would be fun to listen to on a starry night.

It has me tapping my toes along with it.

Ok, gonna say that's some really jumping piano playin there and...the vibraphone: quite impressive. Good beat to this music too. I like! 

Listening to this has put me in a real good mood.

The track is emotional with the chords here with a jazzy appeal that keeps me interested here, it sounds mellow and wholesome with some great vibes.

I thought this song was really well composed. I also really loved the way the vibraphone was used so distinctly on this track. It really worked well.

Great jazz! I love back to the basics! I can picture myself sitting in a nightclub listening to this, with my friends. Would love to hear more.

The music for this song has a light and whimsical feeling to it. The way that it moves and flows is smooth and makes you want to dance with it.

Oh man, what a throwback. Yeah, it's cool. Great piece of music.

I like how this song sounds! Immediately, when the song came on, I began dancing in my chair!!!

A good song, nice beat and the music really hits you; I could see this being played on the radio or in the movies. 

Nice and light, it has a happy beat and the vibraphone sounds good, I like that part the best.

This one had me moving my leg as I listened. I really enjoyed it and got into it. Very good and classy song all around.

REVIEWS OF my recent single, You Know That I've Loved You (For A Long, Long Time):

This jazz is smooth, engaging and creative. I love it. This is the kind of music that got me interested in jazz in the first place-- mental music that puts you in a good space/place mentally, pulls you into the song and allows you to daydream or drift off to another time and place. I love the composition, the tones, the tempo-- the horns are beautiful, the vibraphone. . .was so unique. It's a great song, crystal clear in production also, which is really nice. Talented musician. The saxophone solos are my favorite part, but there's nothing I dislike. 

I found this to be extremely enjoyable and this is exactly the type of jazz and blues music that I listen to during my spare time. This had such a relaxing mood to it and it definitely reminds me when I used to play jazz music in high school band. This type of jazz music has always been my favorite as it has an overly positive vibe, but it is also very mellow and tranquil as well. Definitely inspires me to want to become a better musician than I already am. 

I dont speak like this normally but...this is f...king awesome. [of course, my favorite review. . .LOL - SC]

I like the rhythm and melody of this jazz song. I like the piano, vibraphone, shaker and sax sounds heard in this song. I like the musical transition around 90 seconds in where the extended sax and vibraphone instrumentals begin. I like the title of the song and the artist's name. 

Definitely could picture this being on the radio.

This is something real special.

I love the retro feel; there's great pep and energy, and best of all, a lighthearted and whimsical feel to the entire recording. I wish more jazz songs were as upbeat as this. 

This was a pretty mellow and relaxing song. I liked the vibraphone, it was a bit distinctive sounding and worked nicely with the piano. Nicely balanced and layered. The sound quality was quite good. 

Very relaxing and it was easy to get into. It tells a really good story. 

The saxophone player is truly amazing. It also lives up to its name. 

Really well done. I enjoyed this a lot, it was a really chill tune. There's honestly no room here for constructive criticism. Well done! 

Happy vibes! Feels like I'm on vacation!

I totally enjoyed listening to this outstanding musical selection. There was a very high degree of instrumental talent displayed in this song. I would love to hear many more songs similar to this one. 

A good bossa nova type song. I'm enjoying this!

A very nice feel to it; a good jazzy sound. 

A distinctive style. The blend of instruments gave the song depth. The musicians played well and showcased their talents. The sound quality was rich and resonant. 

Well performed and arranged. I think there is a lot of potential uses for this song. 

Melodic and clean to me with a simple melody that is wholesome to listen to. Great chords that are used here. Great stuff. 

There wasn't anything that I didn't like about this song; very clear and relaxing to listen to. 

Amazing. It's so relaxing and a joy to listen to. I absolutely love the sax parts, but in general all the instruments are great. It's beautifully composed. 

I found the vibe and sound to be as a whole appealing and easy to listen to. The instrumentals and sounds were done well and made it nice to listen to. 

Beautiful, heartfelt and captivating, I really enjoyed listening to this song, it’s very entertaining, a great song. 

The start is powerful and keeps me glued to it. I like the beat and the pace of the song. The instruments are well arranged. 

This piece is like fresh air for my soul. It keeps me moving while also allowing me to breathe. I love everything about it. 

The instrumentation is smooth and sounds good. This is a quality jazz record and it's chill, positive and smooth. The piano is great and horns are nice too. 

Like the vibe. Piano sounds excellent. Like the vibraphone sound which is pretty. The sax sounds great. Overall a nice piece and played well. 

This is a sparkly jazz instrumental! I love the vibraphone, the piano, and that sax. I'd like to use this song as part of the soundtrack of my life! 

Quite enjoyable on the ear. 

Ideal to listen to in the morning while drinking a good coffee. It's a song that gets the day started on the right foot. 

Very high-end musicianship that I enjoyed listening to. The recording is very clear and sounds very professionally done. 

I love the tropical melody and sounds of the vibraphone in the song's instrumentation. I love how the saxophone adds a divine sound and touch. 

I liked the flow over the smooth and subtle beat. The instruments were well played. Really easy to get into. 

The vibraphone is very well played in my opinion. Some of the clubs could use this song to an advantage. 

Really smooth and easy to listen to; it puts me into a relaxed mood. I could have anyone come over and listen to this song. 

A nice smooth song with a lot of passion. I enjoyed how the instrumentals came together and blended. This was a good song. 

Quite catchy and it makes me feel excited to get up and go dance with my wife on a date night. 

A great beat and the music was very smooth. I especially enjoyed the horns. It would be a great song to dance to. 

I really like the rhythm, the beat and the tempo of this jazz song a lot, and I think the instrumentals are really well done. 

Love that quick drum fill in the beginning to start this one off. The piano and all the other sounds were amazing on this. 

The intro is great and I love the sultry vibe here. The piano is amazing as is the groove and the percussion as well.
