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

[@The8BitBigBand]

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

[@mikeyvotano]

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

[@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! 😉

[@mikeyvotano]

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

[@carloschaviratv]

This is the best version I’ve ever heard. 💯💯🫶🫶🙌🙌👏👏

[@joshuaflackua]

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

[@mikeyvotano]

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]

[@NotaCatboy1817]

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

[@mikeyvotano]

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

[@Phoenix_Wrong]

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!

[@mikeyvotano]

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!!

[@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!

[@mikeyvotano]

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!! ❤️

[@mikeyvotano]

Thanks man!! That’s Alex Taylor!! He’s a monster!! Worst part is his main instrument is drums & percussion!! 🤯❤️

@@mikeyvotano WHAT THATS CRAZY

[@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.

[@mikeyvotano]

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?

[@mikeyvotano]

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

[@bp-lx7lf]

@@mikeyvotano haha knew it, awesome stuff

[@TheSaxAppeal]

This is clearly gordon goodwin inspired and I am 100000% here for it

[@mikeyvotano]

Gordon Goodwin is a massive influence!! Thanks legend!! Appreciate that heaps & heaps!! 🥰❤️

WOW,nice job with the music skills,and the editing is stellar,makes me think of a Mario and Cuphead crossover, keep up the good work

[@mikeyvotano]

Thanks legend!! Appreciate it heaps!! I don’t know Cuphead but now I’m going to have to look it up!! 🤣❤️

[@johnceaser1438]

That's ok,you did well,if you look into Cuphead,it would be a good idea to make a remix of one of the songs in Cuphead like you did with Mario!
