Jazz Trio - mix feedback wanted

Post by Paulie » Thu Apr 23, 2015 7:54 pm

Anything jump out as needing fixing? The listing specifies "mid-tempo jazz". but one of the examples is Blue in Green, a ballad. If it's acceptable I will record a something a little faster tomorrow with the same instrumentation. Music due tomorrow:

Here's the listing:
THREE PIECE JAZZ INSTRUMENTALS are needed by the President of a Music Library that’s placed tons of music for TAXI members. They’re looking for Mid-Tempo Jazz Trios that could be background music for an upscale party, cocktail lounge, charity event, etc., etc., etc. Please take a listen to the following examples to get a general sense of what they’re searching for:

“Old Fellow” by the Jeff Johnson Trio:

“Blue In Green Version 2” by the Bill Evans Trio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d13D4xM7KXI
“The Ballad of the Sad Young Men” by the John Harrison Trio
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jx6PWET67Q

They’d like Original Instrumentals (no covers, please) that are smooth and sophisticated, while not being too overly expressive -- something ideal for setting the background “tone” for an upscale party, restaurant, lounge, or event, without drawing any attention to itself. In other words, your music will be “wallpaper” of sorts, and shouldn’t get in the way of a scene’s dialog. Your three-piece instrumentation can be comprised of drums, double bass, and a third instrument such as piano, trumpet, clarinet, guitar, etc., etc., etc. Don’t use instrumentation that isn’t typically found in Jazz music.
Please avoid submitting anything that sounds stiff or obviously MIDI-driven. The more authentic sounding, the better! Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll keep 100% of the Writer's share, 50% of the sync fee, and any applicable performance royalties. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share and 50% of any sync fees. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure any material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed to any other Libraries or Catalogs. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this. Please submit one to three Instrumentals online or per CD no later than Friday, April 24th at 11:59PM (PDT). TAXI #D150424JT
Submit to this listing TAXI # D150424JT
