I can't. I just can't. The song brought me so much joy, and then I read this comment like it put a neat little bow on the package. One like isn't enough, but it's all I can give.
Guys you all are exactly what I've been waiting for my whole life. An actual Jazz band (real trained jazz musicians) playing video game music. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
bboyspaz Thank you so much for the kind words. It's so cool being able to play the songs from games I used to pay as a child now when I'm an adult. It brings back so many good gaming memories.
I have several statements and questions: 1. I'm so glad this is 11 minutes long. 2. The solos are damn good, my favorite being the bass guy. Either you guys love this game or love this game. 3. Why is this not on spotify? 4. Why only 55k views? 5. How could people dislike this?
Dislikers are probably session pros that would play it better. I know a few such folks cuz I played in a band of this kind for 5 ish years. This deserved much more views. And it gives a hella good time to listen and watch.
Akira Toriyama has now left this world. . .and this is the VERY first song my mind jumped to in his wake. He brought a much younger me so many happy memories with Chrono Trigger. Sleepless nights. My very first F in school, Algebra. The god damned professional level you madmen play at does such unapologetic justice to his work, pulling back the veil of time for just a little while. No way to say thank you enough.
To be fair, Akira Toriyama only did the character design for Chrono Trigger. Yasunori Mitsuda composed the soundtrack and isn't gone from us just yet. RIP Toriyama. You will be missed.
Haha. Thanks a bunch! Yeah, the solos were pretty killer all the way around. We tried to do a slow build of solos to lead to the vibe solo finale. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
I’ve done that in the actual game... just hang out in the forest just to hear the track because otherwise your time there is way too short to appreciate it.
The percussion on this was absolutely killer. The vibe solo was stunning and I'm surprised the drummer didn't get lost in the infinite depth of his own pocket.
I bet Mr Mitsuda has this on his fav's list just like the other 100k of us. Sickening jam fellas, this is the trump card to play in the redemption of humanity when the scales come out
..can we talk about how the pianist was killing it for two minutes straight, starting at about 2:40 . and then that guitar solo. and that moment at 8:48 / 9:52 when you realize the sax player and drummer were watching their vibraphonist KILL it! this was the dopest experience I've had in a minute! just subbed. I hope they're still making music.
i cant believe im so late to this, this is probably the most outstanding take on this amazing track. I was always a fan of this ost and would stay in the forest just to hear it, I am in love with this jazz rendition and there was no skipping out on quality either, the harmonies and melodies blend together so well. absolutely phenomenal job, best version of this song on this site. thank you
Holy shit, this is what I fantasized about playing one day when I heard this BGM six years ago! Chrono Trigger's Soundtrack in general is a goldmine in the terms of musical exploration and improvisation. Congrats!
This game was so much fun to play as a kid. It's fun to relive those memories decades later by performing the music. You're right; the Chrono Trigger soundtrack is a goldmine.
I cannot come up with a compliment good enough for this piece of artwork. You've combined one of my favorite games and music genres. I could listen to this all day every day.
This is so crazy. The solos are out of this world and when they all play together.....INSANE!!!! This is the sound track of my childhood's greatest moments!!! SO AMAZING!!!!! That xylophone solo was ridiculousness.
Dylan Cruz Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Dylan. Jazz is definitely my favorite style of music to play, but unfortunately less than 1% of the population actually enjoys it. It's a blast covering video game songs in this format to open up solo sections. Farko always takes great bass solos!
The slower tempo allows for so much more feel and groove to emerge from the piece. Incredible instrumentation and performance. Stunning the whole way through, props all round!!
5 seconds in and I already liked it. Then I heard a bit more and then I heard more and it's absolutely blowing my fucking mind and there's 10 minutes left and holy shit it just got better.
This was posted well over a year ago, and only now reached my recommendations. I listen tons of Chrono Trigger music interpretations. So thanks TH-cam for witholding the BEST ONE from me!
@唐三藏 It's so sad, now a year later. And other vids I rewatched do pop up in my recommendations. But not this one :( Glad you commented tho' now I can listen to it again and bingewatch the entire channel
@@benb4728 It's so hard to not just gush over this song because everyone did such an amazing job lmao, that solo was def the highlight (not only the most amazing vibes solo i've ever seen but probably one of the most amazing solos i've seen ever on _any_ instrument) but even without it this song would be a genuine masterpiece
I love Chrono trigger and haven't herd a rendition quite like this before. Reminds me heavily of some of the Japanese jazz my dad would listen to when I was a kid. Love it!! ♥️♥️
Oh... my... God... That xylophone solo! You guys are way too good! This is by far the coolest version of this song I have ever heard. Great work all around! All of your solos are crazy good. You guys kill it every time, and then some. Keep up the insanely awesome work! :D
This is ridiculously high level. By far the best vgm jazz band performance i've seen on the internet. Hope you guys keep making these videos. Games like CT have some amazing and complex songs. Hearing them played in jazz that well is an extraordinaire experience. As everyone else already pointed, excelent job. And thank you.
WOW! Thank you so much for the kind words. That really means a lot to us. Chrono Trigger is an amazing game with an equally amazing soundtrack. We've got more arrangements on the way. Thanks for your support!
I know great job I was watching and I thought the bass was the best and as each solo came it got better and I kept doubting props to the bassist (not to say sax and xylophone wernt good) he shocked me
8:26 that moment i was not expecting and it had me jumping up in the air like i was at a concert and it just kept going and going. Such a awesome part.
Awesome arrangement. I love how the comping during the vibes solo sneakily hinted at the insanity that was to ensue~ from the guitar swells to the increasingly complex drum pattern. The envelope follower (?) on the bass added a really interesting texture to the whole thing. The production value on all this is excellent!
Thank you so much, Steven! Yes, the envelope follower on the bass was super cool to bring the song to a climax. We definitely wanted to gradually build the song intensity towards that ending vibe solo. We're happy with how it came off.
And speaking of production, how about the production choice to add a bit of delay to the piano? Such a subtle nod to the original SNES soundtrack that I don't think many people would even think to do.
What sin did i commit for the algorithm to keep this from me for so many years? I'm sorry algorithm, please forgive me and bless me with more of this righteous stank
Omg i do not have words tô describe this. I think even someone who does not know Chrono Trigger would be transported to another life while listening to this
Spoiler alert around 3:30 on, the pianist goes off the chaaaaaaaaain. Damn son! Really all the soloing is solid as hell, but that piano rhythm got me. Btw if you have not yet heard Mort Garson’s album “Plantasia” you better, because this tune (the original) basically quotes a passage from one of his tunes, and in the best way possible.
It's hard to do this song justice with a cover but you not only did just that but you've elevated the piece to gamecover greatness. The timing, well balanced ad libs, subtle grooves and every solo was amazing in it's own right.
Just found this...I was unnerved at first when the intensity picks up as I normally listen to this song as quiet background music to focus while working, but damn does this version JAM! I stopped working to really listen to it. Thanks for sharing with all of us! You guys just got yourself a new subscriber!
Was playing some Mario Kart and clicked on this because it was in my recommended...a couple minutes in, and Mario Kart was muted to let this masterpiece take helm of my spoiled ears
Wow! You left me awestruck. Unbelievably good-sounding arrangement and amazingly virtuous playing, especially from the vibraphonist. Definitely became a fan in just one listening.
Jesus, this is amazing. Thank you for bringing me to tears. Beautiful adaptation. Love jazz and never thought I’d even hear chrono anything especially by jazz musicians. Thank you! Keep up the amazing work
Giving a listener goosebumps is one of the highest forms of flattery that you can give a musician. We're honored that this arrangement resonated with you in that way.
Amazing cover! I discovered you guys almost 4 years ago and I was blown away by this arrangement and the quality of the musicians. Still watch this cover every now and then, I enjoy it like the first time I saw you guys. AWESOME!
Yes officer, this is the room the vibraphone was murdered in.
RIP indeed
after watching the end I can now solve the murder: it was the bad bad man in the recording studio with the rubber headed sticks
I can't. I just can't. The song brought me so much joy, and then I read this comment like it put a neat little bow on the package. One like isn't enough, but it's all I can give.
Yes, and his friend bass guitar as well.

Where have you gone? Will we hear from you again? The world is a better place with your music in it.
8:26 to 11:08 is probably the best solo I have ever heard out of any song from any genre
I don't even care for vibraphone much but this solo is just so fucking insane that I keep coming back to listen to it rather often
This song is still legendary to this day.
totally agreed!
to THIS day still
I'm still on loop
@@cooldebt same
HOLY SH*T!! THE SOLOS HERE ARE INSANE!!!
Haha. Thanks a bunch! Yeah, the solos were pretty killer all the way around. We tried to do a slow build of solos to lead to the vibe solo finale. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
@@ContrabandReloaded Amazing 👏🏾
This is still by far my favorite cover of Secret of the Forest. Thank you all for putting it together. ❤️
The jazz cover by The Consouls with strings is also great listening.
I just can’t stop coming back to 4:00 it seriously plays in my head all the time. Such a good performance from everyone
Same!
You know your vibe solo killed it when the sax players are doubled over laughing because of how badass it is. 🤣
Imagine if the BGM was actually this version? I wouldn't have passed through that forest!
LOL! That's hilarious. :)
Same. I'd stay in the forest just for the music.
I’ve done that in the actual game... just hang out in the forest just to hear the track because otherwise your time there is way too short to appreciate it.
If you close your eyes, you ARE in that forest!
@@thiagotai AM
The percussion on this was absolutely killer. The vibe solo was stunning and I'm surprised the drummer didn't get lost in the infinite depth of his own pocket.
10:48 he actually missed the note but kept going like a badass to deliver the best solo the world has ever seen
Bad soloists make bad solos because of their mistakes, good soloists make good solos despite their mistakes
Best bass line I've seen for this song
Thanks, Gabriel! Farko plays seriously sick lines.
I have been enjoying The Consouls versions of this with acoustic double bass but really enjoying the electric bass here - Farko is brilliant!
I bet Mr Mitsuda has this on his fav's list just like the other 100k of us. Sickening jam fellas, this is the trump card to play in the redemption of humanity when the scales come out
That was incredible!!!
you are incredible!!!
Hey there Mikey! Good taste in music too, I see👌
There are tears in my eyes...
Mine too...the last minute or so really brought em out. This mix is composed so emotionally. It's so fire I love it
Props to the drummer for playing amazingly! Nothing but respect for this man.

now THIS IS TRUE QUALITY. Absolutely beautiful.
The piano solo is perfect. The pianist builds it up slowly into an amazing climax.
All the solos on this are really great. Imo bass solos are soooooo hit or miss and can be really hard to pull off, but I really loved this one.
Also classiest lick ever @3:32-3:34 😉
Who knew that the vibes vibing in the corner was actually just waiting to be unleashed.
Had to warm us up first with the rest so we wouldn't be killed by the sheer power of that solo hitting us all at once
Love that the pianist is rocking an NES controller. Beautifully done folks!
Thou can't be THIS brilliant... have a mercy...

At live shows Farko, the bassist, takes solos on just about every tune. He's a fantastic soloist and lays down some sick grooves during all tunes.
8:26 that moment i was not expecting and it had me jumping up in the air like i was at a concert and it just kept going and going. Such a awesome part.
I daresay even gods might blush at that vibraphone solo
How is good this jazz playing in the night

That went right from "chilled out remake" straight to "melt your face off" in a way that I think would make Mitsuda-san proud!
Every now and then I come back to this song and absolutely enjoy the buildup. The sheer joy of the drummer at 10:44 as he ramps up says it all.
