Jump Up Super Star! - Full Big Band/Strings cover ft. Grace Kelly (The 8-Bit Big Band)

[@benjaminfigueroa1833]

My father passed away a few days ago. This song appeared on my recommended list, and it really lifted me up. We used to call my father super Mario, because he was short, and had a moustache

[@RinglornLoreGuy]

I hope you are feeling better, and might I say, your youtube algorithm has good taste!

[@fortressofsolitude3660]

I'm really sorry, bro. I hope your dad has peace where he wants him to be.

I'd love to see her sing a K-pop style remix of something like this in part-Korean :D

Grace has such a clean, crisp voice, and her overall vocal style fits this song so perfectly. Not to mention, she is a phenomenal saxophonist. Fantastic choice for this cover, I'd say.

My kids mock me b/c 8-Bit Big Band songs are all over our Spotify family mix, but I don't care. They need to learn to appreciate great stuff like this. They're a drummer and a clarinetist, so they'll eventually understand the brilliance of the arrangements and the ridiculous chops of the musicians.

[@mosiarmstrong]

All the stuff I thought was 'corny' or just didn't have any interest in as a kid is the same stuff I listen to today when I'm feeling nostalgic or I just want to hear good music.

​@@kalythai Doitsu remix 10 hour loop. I guarantee chaos will ensue.

[@Whiteythereaper]

Your drummer will definitely appreciate the complexity of big band & jazz drumming when they find that one magic song that makes it all click. I haven't played drums in about 6 years and everytime i hear a song with some tight, skillful out of the norm drumming I kick myself for not having access to a kit anymore

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

"JUMP UP SUPERSTAR" is truly one of the most magical moments ever experienced in gaming history.

[@Xetaas]

Agreed

[@HaydenG_07]

yeah, the level it appears on in Mario Odyssey is one of the best levels I've ever played in any video game

[@zeelyle2002]

Oh absolutely! That level was completely awesome!

[@joechill6327]

I remember when that second trailer came out and how blown away I was that there was a jazzy musical number in my shiny new Mario game.

[@drballsballsballs]

It caught me by surprise and honestly it was pretty damn moving

[@Lazy_eye_blobFish]

yep I am 28 years old and this song fills me with so much joy that it makes me cry every time, I cried when I played it in 2017 and I am crying now. Thank you for making me happy. You capped off your final vid of the year just right and I am glad youtube did something right and gave me the notification.

[@The8BitBigBand]

Thanks so much for the kind words!!

[@MolecularMachine]

I thought I was the only one! Ugh, it sounds corny, but this song really captures the pure joy that Mario has brought people over the years. It's a celebration of the creativity and dedication of the dev teams.

[@Lazy_eye_blobFish]

@@MolecularMachine well when you arensomeone like me who has dealt with massive depression in his life you start to hold on to the things that make you happy, for me it is Jesus, my family, friends and videogames. Oddysee was around my 4th game ever to complete all the way through, im 28 years old and this was a big deal.

[@Gregness2000]

I think the vocals could stand to be mixed a bit higher, but otherwise everyone's on FIRE, here!

[@JohnDCrafton]

Agree. She was mixed too low and some of the words get lost in the band flourishes.

[@zidanewaterflower]

TRUE. Like, I get that the band needs to be highlighted, but this song needs to POP, and the vocalist needs to shine. Having her voice be quieter than the band definitely hurt the overall tone and quality of the song.

[@redpenguin111]

I hate to agree with you. The mix doesn't do this arrangement much justice in general

[@samaldag478]

I think I'm in the minority here when I say that I actually enjoy the instrumentals most in this song
