Pat convincing all of his world class musician friends to play these songs from my childhood and making them sound like they were standards gives me life
The Consouls (who have collaborated with Pat) are also very good at it but get less exposure, being in the Southern Hemisphere. Having said that, Pat's playing is in the stratosphere!
I do feel like this music reaches a larger audience because we can all relate to sentimentality (haha in a sentimental mood) and nostalgia but not everyone is into jazz because admittedly it’s a hard genre to get into (it took my years lol) but this is a perfect bridge to connect those outsiders into possibly the most creative genre of music ever
I love how Patrick Bartley, one of the best living sax players today, pulled up to the gig and was like “I’m playing Super Mario Galaxy today or I’m not playing.” What an absolute legend. Keep doing god’s work man.
Check out Pats group "J-Music Ensemble" they have some truly great tracks, mostly based on video game music (but also other Japanese music too!). Their Persona covers, and the entire Brooklyn Sakura festival 2019 set they played are some of their standouts!
Gosh it’s incredibly refreshing to hear a jazz video game cover that doesn’t sound like an artificial jazz video game cover. Like the respect to the music, and the jazz culture is paramount. Kind of gives me vibes of someday my prince will come, probably because it’s also in 3/4. Absolutely amazing work! Edit: lol it literally says in the description that it’s inspired by “someday my prince will come” which is probably my favorite standard.
Nice catch on the SMPWC connection. 8-bit music theory did a whole ep. on this tune and how it is somewhat 'Disney-like'. Glad that we are reaching a point where our young jazz stars today are doing with VGM what the stars of the past did with Disney and other pop tunes.
I feel like even people who like videogame music are tempted to treat it as sort of a second class separate thing compared to non videogame music. However, good music is good music, and this cover proves just how amazing it can be it you give it all the respect it deserves.
I love how Emmett goes really wide at 2:29, with Wynton Kelly's groove on Someday. It gives the solo great contrast and ties it back to its inspiration. I feel like jazz standards change with the times, and this performance shows how well the Nintendo catalogue could contribute to a new generation of standards.
If anyone is curious where Patrick may have lovingly borrowed this idea from check out our big band arrangement of this, much love to Patrick one of the best to ever do it and champion of VGM Jazz!! - th-cam.com/video/dKtwUwQ4EXQ/w-d-xo.html
It's like Miles Davis, John Costa, and Father Christmas all got together, played some Mario Galaxy and in a moment of serendipity each saying to one another "Hey, let's jam to that", then inscribed the result of that jam session across the stars. This is phenomenal; a perfect chemistry. The veritable onion of layers offered up here make this worth listening to over and over knowing full well you'll find something new each time you listen.
Its been forever since I've played through it, if memory serves the tune gets introduced one instrument at a time as you power up the observatory right? Or something like that?
Very high level sax player. Really enjoyed this performance. Super good. Melodie’s werent boring jazz stuff and had enough contemporary licks to keep me interested. That sax player is outstanding. Nice sound on the trumpet. Piano had some really nice licks. Everybody played well. Bass player hit a lick with the trumpet player that was great. Well done everybody. High level stuff
Beautiful cover. Love me some jazzy VGM - it’s such a wonderful musical niche introduced to me by my kids - but I take credit for discovering The Consouls and J-Music Ensemble to introduce back to my boys ;)
Heck ya! My other two fav jazzy VGM cover groups are 8 Bit Big Band, and the solo act, Insaneintheeainmusic. Carlos from Insane has been at it all through music school so his arrangements only get richer the longer he's been at it :). His "Ghost Trick" theme is one of my fav instrumental prices, and I don't even know the game! :)
@@cooldebt ya, just saw his announce vid yesterday hah. Whatever he does I hope he feels good personally doing it. I was kinda looking forward to adding him to my list of indie composers to look for and likely buy games just to hear what he was cooking up (Lena Raine and Austin Wintory are there ATM!) But more free jams on TH-cam is never bad :)!!
Don't lay that "legend" crapola or even worse the "genius" kiss of death on a young player.

Ever since listening to this music 2 years ago, I have come back here many, many time. This is a timeless work that i'm sure future generations will be as blessed as I am to listen to this artistry displayed by all musicians here.😊😊
I agree 100%! 2020-2021 era Live at Emmet’s performances are going to be this generation’s Live at the Village Vanguard, just simply as good as it gets.
Hopefully, more 'mainstream' performers taking up VGM will help spotlight gourps like The Consouls who solely do VGM jazz covers (and brilliantly too with nearly 400 tunes in their stylistically wide-ranging repertoire)

Danke für eure wundervolle Musik mit schönen Bildern in dieser schwieriegen Zeit! Thank you for your wonderful music with beautiful pictures in this difficult time... Best wishes from Germany...Peter
great performance! of course it's inspired from miles davis' someday my prince will come. 8-bit music theory did a video comparing rosalina in the observatory to a buncha disney princess "i want" songs (including someday my prince will come) and classical pieces from the romantic period. these pieces have amazing similarities that allow musicians to adapt them in similar ways, just like we saw here. great job, guys, and may the stars shine down on you. ;))
My gosh i LOVE this song!!! Please more game/anime music mit Patrick this is the best combination!!!!! Love your work on bringing all these amazing musicians together Emmet!!!
I love this song, this game, I love this melody, I love music, but the way they just played it transcends all of that. God bless the five of you beautiful people and everyone else who contributed. Logos rising 💙
Beautiful. High 5 to everyone. funny i was thinking about dave dig disney and about the wonderful broadway themes (roger and hammerstein and so on) that were turned into wonderful jazz standards ... but i could not really point it, but yes Miles too played Someday My prince , one y miles favorite record, oh yes purists consider it has commercial i don't care. Laura (Erroll Garner, earlt Brubeck) , Walz for debby, (mainly Bill evans) Greensleeves (Coltrane on afro brass or Desmond and the MJQ) and other pop tunes have always been among my favorite. In that concert they opened with Walz for debby but without the wonderful brass mini section.
Such a nice, warm and powerful saxophone sound mr. BARTLEY !! really amazing, a nice to think about making this arrangement for a playing, really nailed it everyone. 🤩🤯🏛🎷🎷
Pat Bartley is my current favourite sax player, he's just such a melodic genius. His technical proficiency, as well as the melodies he creates in his head are just so gorgeous and compliment every tune he plays.

@@cooldebtand also Pats group "J-Music Ensemble" have loads of top notch jazz covers of video game music and other J pop adjacent stuff :).
In a way they are standards now that we are seeing a renaissance in how people view Video Game music and how it’s treated in the greater jazz scene

You should check out his J-Music Ensemble. He has a good youtube channel and a twitch.

Ok thanks Charlie Rosen
Love you, love carlos, love dom palombi(p.s. WHEN ARE YOU FEATURING HIM DO IT SOON), love pat bartley, love the consouls! VGM jazz is where its at!
Wow! I never thought I'd ever hear you guys play this. Mario Galaxy is of my very favorite games of all time!
Actually this is not too surprising considering Patrick Bartley
Came for the cover, stayed for the INCREDIBLE jazz performance
Possible best living saxophonist.
Emmit's playing on this is incredible. The whole band sounds fantastic and the arrangement is 💯
You're everywhere

this is profound
9:54 That ending put a huge grin on my face, so wholesome
Just beat that game! I immediately thought “wow, this is a great tune” when I was playing. Glad it got the attention it deserves.

Love Emmet doing the coin sound at the end lol
Another insane solo from Patrik Cannonball Bartley. Tssssssssssssssss
The disassembly and synthesis of the theme while preserving the feeling of the tune is just amazing. Def one of my favourites.
Just woke up and saw Emmet Cohen and Patrick Bartley playing SMG music, instant highlight of my week!
Can I also recommend The Consouls who do a great jazz cover of this tune too!
these solos are INSANE
Very high level sax player. Really enjoyed this performance. Super good. Melodie’s werent boring jazz stuff and had enough contemporary licks to keep me interested. That sax player is outstanding. Nice sound on the trumpet. Piano had some really nice licks. Everybody played well. Bass player hit a lick with the trumpet player that was great. Well done everybody. High level stuff
I need the charts for this! its so good
i wept, i cried, i laughed, i smiled, this was pure bliss
Patrick barley plays with such soul and emotion! what a musician.
What I love about these performances is 99% of them seem purely improvised. No cheesy clichés in the solo except for the odd quote here and there.
Life changing
Also The Consouls who do only VGM jazz covers - almost 400 amazing tunes now
Jazz VGM yesssssssss
One of my favorites to do is The Lake Theme from Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
If you also like Jubilife City, The Consouls have covered that tune in Consouls Radio #18 last December
never thought youd venture into vgm, and especially love it!! ❤️❤️
Pat’s passion!
I love that my two favorite living jazz musicians have collaborated together!
I'm doubly happy because Pat has played with Emmet AND The Consouls 😀
Even after the tune ends it's still fire 🔥
can't help but hear some cannon ball in Patrick's playing. That's a high honor!
Great playing! Love the quotes of Coltrane's solo from Emmet and Patrick. Giveton has a lovely tone
Holy shit I love this, I wouldve never expected VGM covers here but I'm so happy, amazing job everyone :)
How'd I know you'd be here before me

Love that you feature videogame music because there are some truly awesome pieces of music in videogames
Agree. Pat/J-Music, The Consouls and others really draw attention to how good the OG compositions actually are with their jazz covers.
I need a whole album like this
연주 마무리 ^^ 한참 웃었어요
Este video es de esas cosas que no sabía que necesitaba
Danke für eure wundervolle Musik mit schönen Bildern in dieser schwieriegen Zeit! Thank you for your wonderful music with beautiful pictures in this difficult time... Best wishes from Germany...Peter
Unglaublich schön, oder?
Rosalina in the Observatory but every time Emmet sneakily quotes the Mario Coin sound effect, take a shot.
so you mean only the part at the end?
0:46 also
I also hear it a little bit at 1:52
I’ve only just discovered this channel and these sessions, I can’t believe I didn’t catch on till now. Everything is so amazing and always so joyful
Sweet and lyrical!❤️

Also The Consouls bringing jazz to younger audiences via 100s of vgm jazz covers (I found Pat some time ago via vgm)
Absolutely killer
These recordings are actually bringing me a lot of peace and hope in these awful times with so much tribalism and strife.
What an absolutely incredible achievement this performance is
Im just in love with this
Increíble, son good!
