jazz performance clip at DVinfo.net

Hello fellow shooters, I just finished editing this clip I shot and would appreciate hearing your opinion.
Some notes: Client requested which songs to use in what order and where to fade in and out. Also requested a people having a good time shots. I used far more fade transitions that I ever used but somehow I did not see a better solution in this case. In some cases I use slow mo from the EOS which is 720p and crop even further, masking the low res look as best as I could. The EOS M did not perform well in such low light and in contrast with the C100 shots, rendered it mostly unusable. What else...? I applied filmconvert grain to the whole thing, it seemed to fit the jazz atmosphere.

Canon C100 with Canon 70-200 ƒ2.8 II, mostly handheld
Canon EOS M 18-55 ƒ4 tripod
TASCAM DR-40 (feed from mixing board)

Thank you for your time.

I try to see if you left the s in the http. bit that was not it. But if people click on the DOM FINAL 160114 at the top of the player it goes to Vimeo and the video. Being that I'm in a learning stage on editing to get better myself. I like it.

I enjoyed it. Nice job. Gave a good feel for the atmosphere created at the event. Although what about the drummer? He did not get any love. :)

Maybe a sit in drummer if he's not even getting mentioned at the end? Either way, great video, the songs cut together pretty well. I really liked the out of focus light shots that you used as transitions.

I did not have a good shot of the drummer I could have used without it looking out of synch, he is however, credited in the end (Lawrence Leathers) at 2;40-ish. Great drummer by the way. Another thing to add is that I did not always had free range to roam with the camera, organizers were quite sticky about cameras, patrons privacy, etc...and for thatreason as well as for the amazing beautiful images it creates, the 70-200 2.8 is a dream lens,
Thank you all for watching and taking the time to respond.
