Super Mario Bros. - Big Band Jazz Cover - Mikey Votano ft. Eric Marienthal

[@The8BitBigBand]

I know I’ve said this before to you but man this arrangement is absolutely CRUSHING. Nice one mate!!

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

You guys are the BEST!! This means the world!! Looking well forward to Cartoonestra!! 🎷🎺❤️

[@joshuaflackua]

Was just thinking to myself "Man, a jazz cover of the mario theme would be great." So glad this exists.

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

You’re the best!! Thanks champion!!

[@hanj31]

There''s also a salsa mambo version of the song as well by the 8 bit big band. that version is good too.

[@NintendoMusicEnjoyer]

nintendo themselves did it first :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4vJpayte72jY8ksi=A0wzJU50eClpZ3s8

[@ImRuscelOfficial]

The arranging and editing is top-tier! I love everything about this, every single bit of it! ❤ Especially those leitmotifs spread across the arrangement. Makes me smirk in a cheeky way!

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

RUSCEL!! Thanks man!! Thank for noticing all the things!! Super proud of it all & know some of the smaller parts get lost on a listen through so this means a heap!! Thanks champion!! Thank you!! ❤️

[@NotaCatboy1817]

Why haven't more people seen this cause it's absolutely incredible

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

Hopefully we’ll get some more eyes on it!! Thanks for the love legend!! ❤

[@Flottschi]

This got recommended to me on KZbin Music. I listened to it and I immediately fell in love, you and your band did an incredible job with this!! I went over to regular KZbin to check out the video and saw that it only has ~8k views?? This absolute masterpiece is criminally underrated!

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

Thanks heaps legend!! Appreciate all this so much!! Hopefully we’ll build the numbers as more people come across it!! :) Hope you’re having the best day!!

[@adrianmolinamusic]

My girlfriend even suggested that Jimmy Fallon would love to have this as part of his show because, apparently, he's a bit of a fan of this sort of thing. So I thought, with this awesome arrangement and Mickey's infectious energy and enthusiasm, it was pretty easy to imagine it. Then I got goosebumps..... Anyway thanks again Mikey for letting me and my guitar be part of this amazing project and band. All the best to everyone from Spain! and looking forward to the next one! 😉

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

You're a legend Adrian!! Such a pleasure having you on the track man!! Such beautiful playing!! Big love brother!! ❤❤❤

I didn’t know this song or at least this version of it existed, but I have to say that I could get my head around it. It’s solid.

There's been a ton of jazz covers of mario over the years; but this is another level of arrangement on top of that. Absolutely stellar work.

[@hak1tekk627]

No matter what jazz big bands play it sound stimulating even if they played the jazz swing big band version of "Kumbaya , My Lord".

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

Totally agree!! Also I’m not arranging Kumbaya!! :)

@@mikeyvotanobigband Would you play this one, kzbin.info/www/bejne/on2Yamuqgc1spMk it is also game music but a big band swing version could sound much better...

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! MIKEY!

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

Thanks Steve you legend!! Hope you’re doing so great man!! Long time!! Big love brother!! ❤️

[@boltezt]

This is what arranging is all about, isn't it? Great theme rendition, great development, using other themes from the Mario franchise, and capturing what it's all supposed to be about: having fun. But Mikey, come on man, the arrangement was already more than great, but you still had to go ahead and add that ascending sequence at 02:03? That's just showing off, man.

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

You legend!! Thanks for noticing all the little things!! Appreciate this comment a whole heap!! Big big love champion!! 😊❤️

[@Findlay9000]

Man, Iv been obsessed ever since you dropped the disney medley 2. You are genuinely underated for the art you produce. Im so glad people like you are keeping this type of genre alive as its my favourite. You know your Big band Jazz well and your able to use it too create the most beautiful outcomes. Amazing stuff man!!

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

Thanks for this!! Beautiful compliments that mean the world!! I appreciate it heaps!! Lots of time & love goes in to these arrangements & hearing all this makes my fricken day!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@bp-lx7lf]

How the hell does this have less than 7k views? Feels like I’ve discovered a little hidden gem of a channel here - subscription earned! Love the way you worked the underground theme organically into things as well.

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

Thanks champion!! Hopefully we can build it from here!! Appreciate the kind words heaps!! ❤❤

[@bp-lx7lf]

Since you’re reading comments there’s one more thing I noticed - the beginning sounds a lot like ‘sing sang sung’ by the Gordon Goodwin band. Probably a coincidence but wondered if there was any inspiration?

[@mikeyvotanobigband]

@@bp-lx7lf definitely a massive inspiration!! Grew up playing the Swinging From The Fences album on repeat!! 🥰❤️

The beginning sounds oddly like benny goodman's "sing, sing, sing"

It should sound exactly like the beginning of Benny Goodman’s Sing Sing Sing & Woody Herman’s Golden Wedding & all the other tom based swing grooves from that era!! 😊❤️
