Pinwheel Jazzoff WINNERS
Added 2023-01-20 21:03:54 +0000 UTCHey all! Super excited to announce the winners of the "Pinwheel Jazz-off!"
After much debate, myself, THREESIXTY & Atura all mutually decided on these winners:
1st Place - PlexusPlays
Gosh, everything about this is nuts... The video, the production, the melodicness, the stankiness, and the pure creativity on display. While technically completely breaking free of the 16 bar parameters, this reimagination of Pinwheel on vibraphone absolutely took me, Eric & Ryan aback. SUCH excellent soloing and riffing on previously established motifs, absolutely in love with this solo and it seemed like an obvious winner!

2nd place - The Sass
Super solid lead solo with a very nice pocket and very fluid use of vibrato/slides. The sound design of the lead is also suuuuper milky and smooth, just an all round solid solo. Overall made us stank face in a very good way.

3rd Place: CyberScythe
Very whimsical and reminiscent of old Night Owl Collective stuff. Makes me feel like I'm dancing around Yoshi's Island, while also having a super tight pocket and some dope modulations in the lead patch. Solid solo! I will be reaching out to all of the winners to give them their prizes and to grab some dries of their solos. Can't wait to begin arranging them into the song!

THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY FOR PARTICIPATING. It was so cool to hear everybody's own unique voice in their solos, and choosing these winners was not easy by any means. I hope you had as much fun making these little lead solos as I did listening to them :P
