Saria's Song ft. Adam Neely - Contemporary Jazz Orchestra Cover (The 8-Bit Big Band)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Dude I remember hearing this at the Sony Hall show and being blown away that anyone would dare arrange Saria’s Song and blow it up with such great orchestration and harmonization chops! You’ve definitely taken this one to your own level haha... level 11 jazz reharm spiciness

[@thingsthatgobomb]

hey insane you ever collab with these guys?

[@wee3ist]

@@thingsthatgobomb yes actually

[@dominicpalombi5504]

Bout to say, I remember hearing this live for the first time too, completely knocked my socks off!

[@cooldebt]

I'm a dyed in the wool Consouls Band fan who hardly ever listens to big band jazz but found 8BBB after Consouls covered Birdman and was also blown away. Brilliant arranging and performance.

Thanks man!!!

The bass is probably the most under rated lead instrument.

[@cooldebt]

Very true. Interesting too that from Beatles to The Police/Sting to Snarky Puppy if the band is led by a bass player (McCartney, Sting, League) there's a good chance that they will be successful. I hope 8BBB follows the pattern!

[@InsaneH]

@@cooldebt The band leader is a bass player in 8BBB lol

[@cooldebt]

@@InsaneH Exactly - that's why I'm hoping they will follow the pattern :) (Also, Dan Chmielinski is great so in this tune they had 3 amazing bass players!). Actually I first came across this tune when The Consouls covered it)

[@shinydino]

This is such a novel take on the song. The warmer chords and the way you arranged the instruments to be dissonant from one another gave the song a more untamed feel, like you’re in an ancient, marshy forest covered with moss and you’re hearing the whole ecosystem at once.

[@j.s.669]

As if the forest welcoming you. It is amazing really how to me its as if the the lost woods became a "fun" forest. Love it!

[@paulytheking7365]

This arrangement makes it sound as though its the main theme to a movie about racing. Kinda gives off a Michael Giacchino vibe. I love it!

[@artsyomni]

The latter third feels like what you’d get if the Lost Woods was a track in Mario Kart 8. I love it

[@Hutahbah]

How?! I literally just finished my own Saria's Song cover and was gonna upload it tomorrow. After this and after you and insaneintherain uploaded Dire Dire Docks on the same day, I'm just convinced you're subliminally suggesting to all musicians to cover the same songs as you lol

[@The8BitBigBand]

That the videos on this channel have so few views is incomprehensible. This is top quality stuff, from arranging, to playing, recording, and pixelart.

[@cooldebt]

Agree 100%. I'm actually not a fan of big band music (I listen to these boys kzbin.infovideos) but 8BBB is truly incredible - layers of brilliance here.

[@trumpetwurz]

Is 2:33 supposed to be a riff on "the lick", or is my mind making me hear that because I just reaaaally want it to be? Adam's reaction kinda suggests yes...

Really love both arrangements, but can't shake the feeling of wanting to swap the vibe of song of storm for this one. This song, specially the intro and the bridge, gives me more the vibe of comming clouds. And song of storm gives me the vibe of inocense and festivity of the kokiri. But again, both masterfully done.
