Nintendo Jazz Odyssey

[toransu]

It's good, but how the fuck do you not know how to pronounce Mario?

[dinobecker614]

I want this video on my M-6450 phone.

[chrlsnewsom5]

I'm a 19 year old accordion player from Denmark, I loves swing and jazz, what's the name of the song beginning at 0:53 ??

Awesome again!

[jassfreak87]

after mario lands on the flag anybody else notice he doesn't resolve the phrase but lands on a major 7th? also wats the song, right b4 the mike tyson fight theme begins?

[JackGuitarRock]

this is reminding me of the Monster's Inc. theme song lol

[jassfreak87]

@JackGuitarRock u should listen to the song hakuna mattatta on the lion kion, listen for the clarinet. and pretty much all of the jungle book is good jazz

[JackGuitarRock]

@jassfreak87 yeahhh i'm familiar with the other ones, it's just the Monster's Inc that stood out most to me i guess

and I know I didn't say it before but I meant to, This is really awesome and well done :D

[saxaphonedude]

ZELDA!

[srmacmec]

[Hitrat]

[Charmolution]

Sadly, I actually knew that 80's riff was from Careless Whisper...

[GannondorkVBA]

Saw this on Nintendo Power a while ago and decided to look you up. :3

[sneekysnake0]

It's been a year since the first time I watched this.............This is still a classic! I love this!!! I wanna see more!!!!

[whitesoxfan5]

Any chance of Tecmo Super Bowl???

[whitesoxfan5]

Very nice

[bowserdude20]

[AlienAngel112]

I liked when my princess was in another castle! oh wait...

[odaxelagniaproject]

You should do some covers of Darkwing Duck and Lunar Ball songs!

[FusionGTZ]

[HardbeatAcolyte]

Too awesome for words :D

[Raichupacabra]

[SwaggerLikeUz]

One of my The Best Videos of Youtube... "Scott"

Well-done , and Appreciate it, & Enjoyed ..Luv the Instruments..Cheers!

[Doovongeman]

This is fantastic. They totally need to legitimize their business.

[elalakran72]

Hahaha this is freakin awesome guys!!!!!

[kenken02]

do you charge extra if i wanted to add a drummer and a bassist? :P

[hornetpalooza]

Yes I want you to play music while I play games!

[CrimsonSteel]

This is amazing. I'd love to throw some guitar over that

[impaulrnelson05]

:D I love you people

[Pianoninja924]

As a ragtime playing, video game, pianist, I have to say.....You guys are the single greatest group in all of recorded history.

[jmatforce]

Go Ben!!!!

[dahae0421]

you guys are freakin AWESOME!! i wish my nintendo could play live music. LOL

[0x20]

good

[IsabellaBarron8759]

Great album!! dis bloody song gets me straight to cloud nine.. Cant stop listening to this album, downloaded it @ DownloadMusic/./im , (remove the slashes) keepin listening to it wherever i go :)

[No1ButUPokah]

Fantastic, guys. Any chance of more games being done?

[No1ButUPokah]

BTW, Scott-- just browsing your blog, Koyaanisqatsi is amazing, I have it on DVD and am constantly trying to get other people to watch it. (Usually it finds its way back to me unwatched. Sigh.) I'm surprised this Jazz Odyssey hasn't gone intensely viral already, but I'm willing to bet it will now as it spreads thru Facebook sharing. If you were in my general area, I'd totally find a reason to hire you guys.

[lMeMark42l]

the funny part is, I would actually pay for jazz renditions of old video game tunes

[rewsky]

@lMeMark42l

I would literally pay $30 for a very solid video game album with $15-20 solid songs with improv thrown in there.

Anyway - if these guys are still playing in a few years they are paying at my wedding by any means necessary.

[wwmadi]

@lMeMark42l

me too

[baiNEKO]

whoa -- What region pronounce it "Merrio Brothers"  ?

[santiagoff]

2:58-3:04 Is that Sakura Sakura?

[OriginalGagBonkers]

I would seriously like to listen to Jazzier versions of Mario and Zelda. But heck I want see some music from Sonic to be done by you guys!

[F0nkyNinja]

NINTENDO Jazz Odyssey.

[GuyPrideProductions]

Very funny!

[Epiphannie1]

i love your stuff!! this is great!

[OriginalGagBonkers]

0:25 to 0:30

Sounds sam and maxish.

[mauro2029]

Cool, they should hack the roms and put this music in instead, and make them into a pc game or something...

[dontmindme831]

ahhh megaman!

[dontmindme831]

i wanna play supermario 2 now. but can't.

[m8beconnect]

I really like it ! What's next ?

[tomheadpro]

COOL

[skyqueen3]

Very catchy, nice job. :)

[Naruto6000]

Can you do more mega man song? that would be cool :)

[Flearex]

That was really sweet!

[flamingosister]

What is the name of the song from that mega man 2, random 80s riff?

[Zylem]

that was just bubbleman's stage

[glacid]

flamingosister: The 80's Sax riff is Careless Whisper by George Michael

[maade87]

Could you please create CD's (Or MP3 collections) from these and put them on sale? I refuse to pay for anything that has anything to do with RIAA ect. But I'm more than willing to pay 10-20e per CD directly to you.

[kcmurphy72]

Absolutely wonderful!

Although I was REALLY expecting to see Spy Hunter's "Theme from Peter Gunn."

[huertoso]

I wanna hear these full versions

So sweet!

[Lexybelmont]

you guys really rock :) i'm glad you put the megaman song in there!... Ben... you look like you're from the mafia. Keep it up guys.

[benthesaxguy13]

Thanks Lexy! Much appreciated! The question is: Am I in really in the mafia? One will never know.

[snakekid33]

YOU HAVE A NORD!!!

sooo jealous!

[110soldr]

Very stellar!!!

[Otana]

Glorious. I don't even like jazz and I LOVED this.

[thelevellers]

/awesome... Would make me play Mario for the first time!

(I was alive then, but my parents refused to buy me any form of console... I climbed trees instead!)

[onlineamiga]

Id love for u to do Golden Axe and Sonic the Hedgehog :) (Sorry was a sega guy) even outrun would be good too!

[michelcarlini]

OK, where I can get the mp3s?

[achillesian]

i want the final fantasy victory theme by this guy as a ringtone

[ericmsandoval]

this is by far one of the best youtube vids...EVER.

[Psythik]

So where do I download this mod?

[MrKirbyXIII]

Lol. That is funny. -The God of Friendship

[devilmaycare34]

well done getting in the metro, youve done the gaming community and the music community proud

[onlyAerik]

haha I wrote my last comment only 2 min. into the video. Your punch out sound effects were hilarious, I must add.

[Leontendo]

I'd love to play games with live soundtrack playing. :-P

[kamemz]

すばらしい！！！

[ablestmage]

The music and the game didn't line up correctly on the last one. They played the battle-winning music from Final Fantasy 1, but the video wasn't FF1.

[Juliawoodside]

/drool.

[Trifrog77]

this is pretty sweet. I would buy it.

[kamaradakamikaze]

This is for real? How can you guys memorize all the songs?

I have a Megaman Marathon planned (playing Megaman 1 to 6 non-stop) and I want you guys here! And I don't live in the States!

[karlaanne]

lol @ duck hunt

[juanpi56]

i will add some more, musicians, AND Sell both the cd an the game.

[juanpi56]

I WILL PAY FOR THESE. No for the game just for the music! plus thw game FTW

[missbkwards2]

do you want to live with me?

hahah xD great video

AWESOOOOOOOOME!

[aznlilhero]

wow this is nice

[DJKatAnimated]

It would be better if you guys just created alternate soundtracks for each game.

People love having their nostalgia stroked.

[ericmsandoval]

Hey DJKatAnimated...I like having something else stroked....(sorry...couldn't help myself)

[ItachixUchihasxAngel]

Genius.

[sprocket2005]

The Piston Honda sound effects were funny.

[Sasukelovertothemax]

oh, heaven's! That Double Dragon song thing was awesome! <3 I loved it!

[amaurerr]

please do al of megaman 2 and release a cd i will buy it

[jffersontube]

Fuck.. the ice stage from Mario 2... Somehow one of my most loved and hated stages at the same time.

[joopu70]

more megaman 2

[simcityaustin]

I would pay money to rebuy games with you guys playing. No joke.

[kdixon7783B]

Great music! Great games! Great video guys.

[torascie]

An FF2-J translation at 3:46.

[zach200888]

Duck Hunt FTW!

[Damon6666]

I love the Mega Man 2 music sounds sexy!

[josh0sborn]

That is actually a crazy-awesome idea. You guys should get a guitarist too.

[officialtouchdown]

do bionic commando next

[xwxcrazyloki]

That was cool as hell. Zelda was cool.

[benthesaxguy13]

Wussup y'all it's Ben! Thanks for all of the comments! To AllPro: I couldn't agree with you more. :)

[HeAdSpIkE33]

dude stfu your not ben. it says you made that account today. nice try n00b

[viasevenvai]

it's nice to hear the sax musicality instead of the MIDI stale-ness.

[noroku91]

i couldnt stop laughing at the duckhunt one xD

[NigmaTheRiddler]

It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?

[benthesaxguy13]

nothing

[omegacyclotron]

This is amazing, love it, but Ben, you're a little flat, try pushing your mouthpiece in a little.

[androgenousandy]

I will buy this just to hear the Megaman 2 soundtrack. Kudos

[xXxtokiohivesxXx]

gagagyayagagayayagagyagayyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

[benthesaxguy13]

I don't understand this comment. What exactly are you trying to say here?

[HeAdSpIkE33]

im sayin your not really ben from the video. you made a fake account pretending 2 b him.

[nathanbrotherbob]

Save it for the mirror.

[s1icedbread]

Blazed as hell from :00-:12

[franzpschubert]

Cool, guys.

[AllPro777]

Scott and Ben,

I think you're very talented. But, I think it's time for girlfriends.

[SDNightmare90]

Cause no one can have a hobby right?

[nathanbrotherbob]

This is gonna be their key to get girls, bro. XD

[benthesaxguy13]

I agree with AllPro and SDNightmare. nathanbrotherbrob thanks for the props but i think the demographic for this type of entertainment is mostly middle-aged men. I could be wrong though.

[nathanbrotherbob]

You kidding? I'm 14, prime of my youth, and go to raves at least once every two weeks.  That said, this is the sickest Mario/Zelda/Oldies remix I've ever heard. Keep up the good work.

[benthesaxguy13]

Right on nathanbrotherbob! Your feedback is appreciated. Raves are the bomb!

[kutthroat84]

100%win

[espadaprime]

awesome song ply i love it so much ^.^

[jasiness95]

Amazing :)

[creatornat]

PLEASE

MAKE

THE

COMPANION

ALBUM

TO THESE

SONGS!

I would pay for it!!!

[astrojunkey]

Awesome!!

Perfectly fits on the Mario games! :DDDD Godly^^

Zelda and FF would be better with orchestral music, and Mega Man with Rock/Metal^^

[caesiume]

lol the duck hunt one was the best

[mrjsx13]

Watch/Comment Anti Rickrolling Video

[omniperibite]

Hey guys! Really nice video! I like that style...

Can anybody tell me what song they play at 0:52 and where it's from? (Is this Kirby playing? Yes, I'm a Mario-noob...)

It would make a nice swing, too...

[B22Blue]

it's from super mario bros. 2 on the nes

[TheLollipopPrince]

great stuff, i'd love to see an album...

[b4il3y]

If you dudes need a trumpet player in ya group...hollar at me....you've just put my 2 favorite things together and made me smile like a cheftain :)

[Slayblaze]

Incredible stuff, Mario games were the best though! For some reason Mario2 made me laugh out loud. I think it might be because the music in that game already had a kind of jazzy feel to it compared to the other games.

[TsunboRecords]

This is awesome! Keep it up guys! :)

[bigfooty]

AWESOME!!!!  Can I hired you out for the next two weekends? haha Thanks!

[theturbolemming]

Awesome.

[MissArikawa]

way awesome!

[enzym]

some of BGM music from games are truly epic: megaman/rockman, mario, zelda. Btw, with Zelda, I think you changed the tunes too much. maybe not too much on that part, if you know what I mean. but your megaman and mario rocks.

[enzym]

Brilliant, this, again proves the importance of music in video games and animation.

[rethinkbreastcancer1]

Wonderful! BRAVO!

[X0XhallielinnXOX]

omg! final fantasy! haha. i'm a dork.

[101distribution]

Friggin genius. Bravo!!

[HaShomeret]

NEIL GAIMAN TWEETED A LINK TO THIS VERY VIDEO! Congrads! really, its like getting featured.

if you dont know his twitter handle is neilhimself.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

You guys are going to rack up so many coins and exp, you won't even know what Lv you are anymore.

[nixli1980]

You guys rule for doing this!

[aphr43l]

this vid is awesome idea... you should make this into a live performance with people actually playing nintendo :)

are you aware of brentalfloss on youtube doing something like this as well? He has written lyrics to a lot of classic video game tunes, but honestly your instrumentals are better. Maybe you should get in touch? :)

[aphr43l]

Hi! I recently bought some stuff at amazon UK, and decided to throw your mp3 into the pile, since I really enjoy your music...

The problem is, apparently you can't buy mp3's at amazon UK if you don't live in the UK. Do you know why this is? I'd love to support you, but they won't let me buy your mp3... :(

No offense, but I hate itunes... maybe you can talk to amazon?

[Frungi]

aphr43l: Buy it from Amazon US. Why are you at Amazon UK if you're not in the UK?

[aphr43l]

I'm in the Netherlands, and there's no Amazon NL :(. I tend to shop at Amazon UK instead of US b/c shipping is a lot less, they charge in euro, and it's the same DVD region.

Most media are close to double the price if I would buy them in NL, so when buying a couple articles at the same time it's a lot cheaper to buy in the UK than NL or US (I prefer to get media in their original language, if possible. Anything originally in English I would buy in English, so I'm not bound to NL publishers).

[TheGamingZoid]

Intresting

[rickrussell]

OK, I need to play a video game to a live version of Eye of the Tiger _RIGHT NOW_.

[rory215]

Link in the desert sounds beautiful! Well they all do but that really stands out for me.

[dianaschnuth]

All kidding aside, if you made an album of these tunes available for purchase, I would buy it, no question.

[RobotechMaster2000]

You guys really should do an album of Nintendo music. Like The Minibosses do.

[botanicusrex]

so beautiful I may shed a tear.
