Definitely not - that intro pretty much says "New Jack Swing" and gets folks into that frame of mind. That mix of straight and swing is really unique to New Jack Swing.
Personally, I think all versions of this theme are pure ear candy, a testament to Masato Nakamura's genius composition. 😎 🎹 Incidentally, this version is the best segue between Tee Lopes' version and the Plasma3Music remix, since it starts in Dmin and ends in Ebmin 🎶
I cant stop listening to this and im not even joking. Ive listened already a few time and I love the combination of that synth sound with the bass. the combination alone already got me hooked. My dad is a professional trumpet player and I've grown to jazz and swing music in my life. The trumpets at 2:17 and on for that segment in particular made me perk up and play it back to see what the heck I just heard. It's insane. This is something I love, combining new sounds that some may not like because its "new" (the synth) but with something like swing. Personally, I find it FANTASTIC.
This is incredible! I love it so much. The style fit so well for that song, You can hear the new jack swing in so many sonic songs and it's even better like this!
ABSOLUTE GOOSEBUMPS..! I always felt back then that this song had a Jazz influence, much more so than the others, and what better way of having it covered... The intro 'Poison', that was hilarious!
Oh my god I would kill for a cover of the Earthbound title theme, it’s only 17 seconds so it would be incredibly short but it’s one of my favorite title screens in gaming. (Btw I’m not talking about the opening credits I mean what plays when the word Earthbound goes on screen)
If you're talking about the first seventeen seconds of this, I totally second that. th-cam.com/video/hzjYMko3MmM/w-d-xo.html Thank you for showing me this. I guess I have to play Earthbound now.
Wow... all I can say is Wow. THis song was always one of my favorites from Sonic 1...but to hear it done truly done in a Jazz format is so cool. And THEN ADD the 90's New Jack Swing to it. UNBELIEVEABLE
*IMAGINE THIS WITH BRUNO MARS' "FINESSE" OVER THE TOP!?!?* *HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST DISCOVERED YOU TODAY?!?!?!!!!!!!??* Prepare for loads of comments from me cos I've been binge watching!! You are all EPIC. That Bell Biv Devoe drum solo at the beginning got me in the grrrooooovvvee! This was already a big tune from the original, and I was so curious to see what you were gonna do with it and my god you just blew me awaaayyy!!! This arrangement is *unREAL.*
OK it's a week later and I'm still listening to this... *WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE HORN SECTION* 2:07 is just FIRE... but can we just talk about 2:17 - 2:21??!!! That part gives me absolute chills!!!! And that modulation after the piano solo... Jhheeezzzzeeee..... This is just the absolute BEST Sonic remix I've ever heard. LOVE that drummer as well... This sounds like it came "fresh" outta Bel-Air!
I wonder how many of these musicians actually played the game when they were children and all the good memories they had with it. Playing in a band like this must be the best job in the world.
i find it to be a hard time accepting that this released 2 years ago. i remember watching this immediately after getting the notification. this channel is such a gem.
First, let me compliment Tails on his facial work, you could land a plane on that chin :3 Second, though it is repetition and bares no repeating, you all are talented beyond words. Smashing as always!
Every damn song you arrange is a miracle. I wish I could see a streaming of all of you practicing those masterpieces, that would seriously mesmerize me
If the definition of groovy could be described by a song, this would be it. Stevie wonder would be jealous with the awesome solos and smooth in-sync rhythms you guys pull off! Another stellar work and I can’t wait for the next one! Got my fingers crossed for Mario Galaxy 1/2 😄

Missed opportunity for "Swing Yard Zone"
Change it fast and no one will notice xD
@@The8BitBigBand Please edit the title lol.
Brooo
I searched "swing yard zone" and this was the first video to come up lol
Lmao that makes me so happy
It's crazy how you're able to make it seem like all these songs were always meant to be played this way.
they were
They kind of were when you think how obvious jazz influences are in Mario or how obvious Rock influences can be found in Megaman tracks
@@theFROZEX the main characters in megaman are called Rock and Roll for a reason
If the Genesis had the ability to play live music, they might have been.
I mean, the song begged for this.
The fact you used the Bell Biv DeVoe: poison intro was phenomenal 😮. 10/10
I came around to say this lol
I distinctly remember that snare solo part in one of the sonic levels but I cant for the life of me remember which game or level it was
Amen
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who heard it😂
Definitely not - that intro pretty much says "New Jack Swing" and gets folks into that frame of mind. That mix of straight and swing is really unique to New Jack Swing.
This is officially my favorite arrangement of Spring Yard Zone, no joke.
Same.
(What do you think of Tee Lopes's rendition of the song? I think it's good, but not as good as this one.)
@@andrewxu3602
I think Tee Lopes' eats this version ip lol.

@@andrewxu3602 Lopes' version of the song is delightful
@@DaDandyman Yah th-cam.com/video/2Vp5aMPAUYQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4RYYNkhuD7L0GIVn Especially that last minute of the song, destroys this version.
I just want to take that synth solo and spread it on toast.
Same with the tenor sax solo
Yeah thats some real buttery jam there
😩😩😩😩😩
I think it's an alto
You won't have to worry about it spreading smoothly
I love Jazz so much. I'm glad people like y'all are keepin' it alive.
Same
Still alive
@@nobodybestfriendnbf7743 🎵When you're dying I'll be still alive🎶
@@armchairrocketscientist4934 What is your favorite form of Jazz?
I'd say SMOOTH Jazz is my favorite
@@franktruth8341 ew
Ever since the 1 minute one, I’ve been obsessed.
Same
I've been waiting, and they delivered
you're "poison"ed
That BBD Poison setup tho 😎👌🔥🔥🔥🔥
Exactly, that reeled me in.
Liked the Bell Biv Devoe reference at the start!
Poison!
From Boston, With Love🖖🏿🎶🕺🏿
I couldn’t even think of the name of it, thank you
yess!!
Came to comments to say that.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS EVER SINCE I HEARD THE ONE MINUTE BYTE!
Brings out the swank in this song, love the energy and the synth.
Thank you for this wonder.
When J3P0 starts using the pitch bender during his synth solo I legitimately yelled "YEAH! WOOOOOO" really loudly in my Pre-Calc class
Cringe
Pine jolt "that happened"
@@KbanjoK your username is cringe
@@gideonhorton_ Got em
@@KbanjoK ?
Man, this is such a good song to groove and vibe to... hats off to 8-bit, you guys sure know how to keep it jazzy around here on youtube
That transition from Big band to Piano solo is what I live for.

2:17 is the BEST PART!!! 💯💯💯
This sounds amazing while Sonic plays himself.
Always good to hear the 8 bit Big Band play again!
Love the drummer with the mario t-shirt. What a flex.
This is incredible! I love it so much. The style fit so well for that song, You can hear the new jack swing in so many sonic songs and it's even better like this!
@@The8BitBigBand Yeah, It was great for it! It works so well!
This tune is already Every Little Step by Bobby Brown, so they didn't have to do that much work.
@@Afghamistam Eh, It's similar! The arrangement has a bunch of references to all that new jack swing stuff like the drum into being Poison!
The New Jack Swing infusion shattered me into a million pieces. Genius.
ABSOLUTE GOOSEBUMPS..!
I always felt back then that this song had a Jazz influence, much more so than the others, and what better way of having it covered...
The intro 'Poison', that was hilarious!
This is what you get when Spring Yard and Casinopolis (Sonic Adventure) have a baby. ❤
So many transitions in the sound!
I never knew the Spring Yard Zone Theme could turn into such wild audio adventure!
This is so funky it hurts.
That synth solo gave me chills! Well arranged rendition of a sonic classic. Once again, well done 8-Bit Big Band!!
This is absurdly good.
The breakdown starting at 2:05 gives me chills. So good!
no cap
Oh hell yeah. It's damn groovy up in here.
The intro though, with the drums. You know you guys want to do a DK Jungle Swing cover.
Oh my god I would kill for a cover of the Earthbound title theme, it’s only 17 seconds so it would be incredibly short but it’s one of my favorite title screens in gaming. (Btw I’m not talking about the opening credits I mean what plays when the word Earthbound goes on screen)
If you're talking about the first seventeen seconds of this, I totally second that.
th-cam.com/video/hzjYMko3MmM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for showing me this. I guess I have to play Earthbound now.
"We're 8 bit big band..."
... Proceeds to play a 16 bit song...
This is so ill. It takes an already amazing track to a whole new level.
I blame you for the fact that I confidently told my brother that Poison sampled a bit from a Sonic game
It's so fun to watch Charlie killing it on the bass.
0:32 that part was really good
Omg 😳 thank you ❤❤❤
I just don't understand why this channel doesn't have more subscribers.
Never played any Sonic game, but boy do I love when people make such magic with its music. Please never stop
This performance was incredible
I’ve been waiting soooo long! Thank you!
One of my favorite songs in the new album.
Wow... all I can say is Wow. THis song was always one of my favorites from Sonic 1...but to hear it done truly done in a Jazz format is so cool. And THEN ADD the 90's New Jack Swing to it. UNBELIEVEABLE
This is the best music related thing I’ve heard in my LIFE.
The 8-Bit Big Band Stay Groovy Guys! 😎
I heard that Poison reference!… 🤣🤣🤣 but seriously! THIS IS SO FUNKY!!
*IMAGINE THIS WITH BRUNO MARS' "FINESSE" OVER THE TOP!?!?*

Strutting around the Spring Yard!
0:05 Girl I must warn you....
Please tell me someone gets this reference.
How do these videos not have more views? This is amazing the musicianship and work involved is second to none 🙌
OK it's a week later and I'm still listening to this... *WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE HORN SECTION* 2:07 is just FIRE... but can we just talk about 2:17 - 2:21??!!!

LOVE IT
Wow I would listen to just that bass part it is amazing
Someone has to follow this up with a reaction video with the original Sega/Japanese composer
So beautiful
I'm in love with the sound of the snare. So crunchy!
This song wasn't even close to be what I consider my favorite from Sonic 1... but this... this is beyond expectations!
Everything has been done with video game covers!
// 8bit big band enters the chat //
I wonder how many of these musicians actually played the game when they were children and all the good memories they had with it.
Playing in a band like this must be the best job in the world.
I'm falling in love with this channel. Awesome work guys.
Absolutely incredible.
This is probably one of your most beautiful tracks, if not the best one!
I really would like to see Chemical Plant Zone one day, it would be amazing!
I dig the sonic movie poster on the side of the TV stand
Damn that bass is on fire Charlie. 🔥 Beautiful arrangement as always, you cats are killin’ it!
This has no right to be as good as it is, AND I LOVE IT. Hello, childhood.
Only found your music 20 minutes ago, and you guys are already a favorite!
The Tenor Sax solo was AMAZING, omg
This is all Absolutely amazing! I love the parts at 0:52 and 2:26 !
Awesome job with the full version. Hoping to hear more Sonic in the future, especially Casino Night and Be Cool, Be Wild, Be Groovy.
Oh damn the sax, gets better and better
Love this New Jack Swing rendition of "Spring Yard Zone"
It's Amazing!!!
This actually fits the demo version appearance of Spring Yard Zone
Ooof that new jack swing bops so hard
i find it to be a hard time accepting that this released 2 years ago. i remember watching this immediately after getting the notification. this channel is such a gem.
Amazing! You folks are incredible!
so nice to hear that one of my favorite zones got the 8 bit big band treatment!
I was about to go to sleep, but THEN THIS JAM POPS OUT.
I love you guys so much c’:
Your jazzy performance of VG music is my absolute favorite.
THEY’RE BACK
Awesome arrangement and killing band! well done!
Also, love the sonic and tails animation of the them playing as themselves :D
Oooh that transition from Synth to Sax was nasty....in an amazing way
Great Improv from the synth, sax and piano. Loved it!
Wicked groove ❤
Straight fire!
wow! this is an absolute banger
God, the 2:05 part gives me goosebumps everytime
no cap
The beginning sounds like it was inspired by Bell Biv Devoe's Poison and I love it.
Love it!
First, let me compliment Tails on his facial work, you could land a plane on that chin :3
Second, though it is repetition and bares no repeating, you all are talented beyond words. Smashing as always!
Sonic looks like a dog
Wow, this grooves so hard!
That's it. You guys can't make any cover more suitable or better than this.
Big smile on my face after those soloes. Esp. liked the Moog - not a typical jazz solo instrument :)
Damn, never stop killing it people
this band are great.
Funky. I love it.
God damn.
And an especial god damn to that synth solo ... god damn!
Every damn song you arrange is a miracle. I wish I could see a streaming of all of you practicing those masterpieces, that would seriously mesmerize me
Love the Moog
Mr. Rewind - Orchestrations I love the moog too
If the definition of groovy could be described by a song, this would be it. Stevie wonder would be jealous with the awesome solos and smooth in-sync rhythms you guys pull off! Another stellar work and I can’t wait for the next one! Got my fingers crossed for Mario Galaxy 1/2 😄
The true song emerges!
Killed it yet again
Nice! Congrats on 69k!
