This is pretty amazing. The recording quality is not the best, but the composition and playing are top! The drum could have recorded on separate tracks. Sax overpower everything in the mix.
Anyway, keeping in mind that is played live probably, great track!

Jazzy chord progressions in Jazz category? That's unusual :D
Nice feel, sounds like a soundtrack for a rainy day. Maybe a solo instrument like soprano sax or muted trumpet would fit there quite good.

Repetitive, muddy mix, weird choice of instruments and definitely not jazz (at the moment of this review, this track is listed in Jazz genre). Good try but you need to brush up your producing skills.
Here the drums are killing everything else, the pad has so much high frequencies that you can't hear hi-hats or cymbals, the main lead should be the focus of the mix, but those synth chimes are overpowering it.

I would suggest to take some simple song (3-4 chords) and make a typical arrangement (bass, drums, lead instrument and some chords on piano or guitar) and try to fit each instrument in it's own "niche" of frequencies.

Very nice, somehow unexpected mix of styles. I love the chopped theme.

Pretty nice track. Love the brass arrangement.

In some parts that brass plugin sounds so cheesy, but hey, it's free.
The combination between the pretty standard chord progression and the bebop-ish part at 0:58 makes it to stand out. Could have some soloing, real or vst instrument.

Didn't see your review until now, but thanks. Don't really get what you mean by "Could have some soloing, real or vst instrument", but I'm glad you liked the track. Sadly, i don't have any solution to the cheesiness of the plugin, other than actually having a brass band play it, which isn't really a possibility.

You know what? That's a cool track! Love the groove and the rhythm trick you did at 01:02. Could use some more variation after 01:41, but again, nice groove going there.

Sledgeh-ogg responds:

Glad you liked it. I didn't mean to write stuck, I meant sick. I wrote on my phone, and I wrote with the touch keyboard thing where you make smooth movements instead of pressing every single letter. I accidently pressed 2,5 star, when I would actually have given it a 4 star rating. I realized this as I had already passed submit. I guess newgrounds isn't optimizes for phones. Especially not when you're on the desktop version (which I was) on mobile.

A classic track that I hated, now in a version that finally is in the right style :D

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

HAHA, SUCCESS! lol. Glad you dug it, even a litte!! haha. Thanks brother. Hope all is well with you!

That is unexpectedly awesome, reminding me both of John Williams and Michael Giacchino. Very good job, congrats!

Really well arranged. I'm not familiar with this piece, but sounds very good in this arrangement. Congrats.

Deemo-R responds:

Thank you, that really means a lot to me! The original piece is very well-written; the main challenge was figuring out how to approach 1:18 since that section is rather pianistic. Luckily the woodwinds are very adept with rhythmic figures, which made that solution turn out better than I had hoped!
