Congratulations

Congratulations!!
Congratulations on a job well done!!!
Thanks David. Spot on about
Thanks David. Spot on about the length, I am going to use a shorter jam track to sharpen up this track. Great exercise, this is something I wouldn't have tried without the competition.
Judging
CH1 - Nice head, very catchy and captures the feel of the song well / great AAB Chorus Form
CH2 - Nice shadowing of the head
CH3 - Nice 3' use
CH4 - Great AA AA B that matches band and hits
CH5 - KILLER idea to continue the 2 draw through the turnaround of the previous chorus, well done!
CH6 - Nice 5 draw hold
CH7 - Nice AA BA C Chorus Form
CH8 - Soloing is starting to drag at this point... it doesn't feel
CH9 - Same comment...
CH10 - Great first, I would have love to of heard that lick played many times
CH11 - Nice playing here, but song is dragging on at this point
CH12 - Same comment
CH13 - Head
Very well done. I would cut CH8, CH9... played CH10 as AAAA AAAA B, Cut CH11, CH12 and then back to the head. Most likely that was the length of the jam track and you had no way of editing it, so I can understand that. Keep in mind that a jump and swing blues like this traditionally uses a lot of repetition, so you could even use more. Again, SUPER well player.
Lives up to name!
Lives up to it's title! I would have liked to have heard a chorus start with 4 draw as opposed to 5 draw(which started three different choruses)? Really natural phrasing and is very Walter-ish stylistcally. Ditto to what Rick mentioned. Really strong timing on most of it as well as good tone. Ending was a little flubbed on timing but overall a GREAT JOB ON THIS!
Great feel!
You really show a great, natural swingin' feel! You play the harp like someone who can probably dance.
Simple (which is a good thing!), hip ideas. Good use of contrasting volumes. Nice chord punctuation.
Relaxed phrasing...all that!
The only thing I'd like to hear is for you to get a better "grip" on the reeds. You're swingin' kinda like Little Willie Anderson, which is not a bad thing at all, but if you develop a stronger, more controlled embouchure, you'll be swingin' more like Little Walter!
Cool track
This swings like hell - great use of repetition and variation in note length!
Swung so hard my head is
Swung so hard my head is spinning, courageous use of less is more in your phrasing ideals - you really let the band share the spotlight, bravo....
Brassy!
Sounds like a trumpet at times, a sax at others - good stuff!
More than an effort
Effort?? Hell this is good stuff - WIcked tone and groove that certainly does swing. Definite head and chorus forms that bring a nice variety and interest. Very enjoyable listen
You got it goin' on!
Great swing Iantonionni! Very hornlike, which is just what this groove seems to be about! Wonderful bend control and great chorus forms. Well done!
Thanks Rob! Apologies for the
