The Jazz Video Game Medley - Complete Score with Commentary || insaneintherainmusic

Can we appreciate how Carlos didn't monetize the video so we can enjoy the movements without interruption? Carlos the real MVP

[@waffles245]

The description states the lack of monetization was due to Berklee policies

​@@insaneintherainmusicwatching this and following along on my viola I see the third movement doesn't want to be nice to us D: Treble clef the whole time, with ledger lines underneath :(

[@TheDragoncowStudios]

To be fair the violas are often neglected by everyone. I mean, my friend who plays the cello and I were talking and I asked him if there are any violas in the orchestra, he says there's one but the Viola is useless and just a hybrid. But don't worry as a tuba player I invite you to join the Low Brass in our war against the overrated melodic instruments, we've also recruited the tenor and bass sax. Which is also funny because we're going to play Insane in the Rain as a small group and I will play the solo trombone part because the trombonist was scared of the high notes😅

[@Mohmega]

Dearly Beloved -> Aquatic Ambience -> National Park this is honestly the most thought out and well-executed piece of VGM covers, I tear up everytime I hear these few minutes

This arrangement of Aquatic Ambience (10:38) makes me absolutely want to bawl! I love it so much. Thank you Carlos and all involved in making this happen!

Dearly Beloved brought tears to my eyes. I was just... not ready. I loved the muted trumpets and the guitar shredding for Dancing Mad- quite unlike any other take I've ever heard on that song. J-E-N-O-V-A was hype as all hell; the kind of frenetic energy that piece has is only amplified by a live band. Lastly, Bowser's theme was positively sleazy. I mean that is the absolute filthiest I've ever heard that piece, and I want more of it in my life.
