Gourmet Race - Uptempo Big Band Cover (The 8-Bit Big Band)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Man, I always knew Kirby sucked, but I never knew he could blow changes like that! Nice one as always :)

[@MoronBoshi]

Well,he can blow hard enough to produce a gust of wind powerful enough to take a physical form and kill people

[@almondmartini3174]

He had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

[@erob9446]

well kirby can swallow

[@cooldebt]

8-BBB arrangements are absolutely stunning but for a different take on it, I can't go past The Consouls' version of Gourmet Race. (I'm a sucker for Gamra's bowing!)

[@mimijoysaymo4198]

How can he blow for that long

[@sjf21]

I swear 8BBB is one of the hidden gems of KZbin. I don’t know how this channel hasn’t absolutely exploded yet. Yet another amazing performance!

[@Ronald_Whitesel]

I know its criminal there not at half a million subs yet

[@The8BitBigBand]

Thanks for helping us get there!!

[@GoldStorm07]

Playing Super Mario 3D World made me curious about other traditional band renditions of videogame music, that's what caused me to find the channel. There's really nothing else like these guys on KZbin.

[@kinggordoproductions6203]

@@GoldStorm07 For me 8BBB and Insaneintherain are the definitive KZbin authorities when it comes to VGM jazz arrangements

[@demantim]

Agreed, the amount of arranging, playing, organising and mixing effort is off the charts.

Jazz Kirby, complete with a mini fedora

[@SteffenThole]

In the drum intro I checked if I had accidentally set the video playback speed 1.25. I had not, and you kept the tempo going, with an energy that just blew me away for two and a half minutes, right till the smooth section, without sounding like you were struggling. Just shows how technically proficient everyone is. Brilliant arrangement, too!

[@The8BitBigBand]

Definitely putting the band to work on this tempo!! Thanks for listening

[@LeakyJAZZ]

its pretty special at 1.25x times speed...

[@quartzofcourse]

Thought the same thing!

[@joshuamayo5282]

@@The8BitBigBand what's the marked tempo

[@joshuamayo5282]

coming back to this it's around 160, found it on a transcription of sam dillons amazing tenor solo

[@AdventuresAwait123]

The part where they revert to the original rhythm, man so necessary, respectful, brilliant, smooth, joyful.

[@noncrediblecase341]

2:41 This part sounds like the Fountain of Dreams version from Smash Bros. Melee, great callback if that was the intention.

[@comicalbanana]

1:25 Omg When the little Waddle Doo says there's 1 minute remaining, that's actually 60 seconds away from when Kirby and Dedede present their food

[@TheSketchyartist3]

The fact that this was animated to an actual cook off makes this song slap twice as hard, and everything is on cue. Wonderfully done! My compliments to the conductor and the music players!

[@StarlightNkyra]

Songs I would love to hear in a potential Album 4: Life Will Change - Persona 5 You Will Know Our Names - Xenoblade King Dedede’s Theme - Kirby Super Bell Hill - Super Mario 3D World Flying Battery Zone - Sonic and Knuckles Carnival Kerfluffle - Cuphead You guys are so amazing and I love all of your covers! Thank you for blessing this world with your wonderful video game big band jazz!

[@The8BitBigBand]

A couple of these tracks are already on my maybe list so you have good taste!

[@conradwerth6954]

Came for the music, stayed for Kirby playing the Saxophone

[@ReverendFTW]

The bassist keeping pace with the sax solo gets me so hype dude idk what it is. You all are so talented!

[@ChaosRayZero]

I love how the animator chose to change it from an eating contest / race to _a cooking contest!_ It just fits for some reason! 😁 Also love how, after Kirby wins, he does a victory dance and flies away on a warpstar, exactly like he does at the end of most levels. 😆

[@morningbowl3156]

You guys never disappoint, and I mean NEVER

FACTS

[@samjahna]

I wanted 1 to2 oatmeal sung over this

[@parkerlewis9326]

I discovered "1, 2, Oatmeal" a couple of weeks ago, and I halfway expected this to be another remix. This is a great arrangement! I guess you could say "What a triumph is thaaaaaaat!"

Yep, I can totally see why Joey Alexander chose to play with him.

[@clb9518]

WOAH! Talk about SUPER!!! This is one of my FAVORITES from Backwards Compatible! Not to mention seeing the addition of some SUPERB VISUALS is (pun 100% intended) being the cherry on top!! Thank you 8BBB (and Kirby) for brightening up the air with some much needed groovy as all heck tunes, ESPECIALLY in these groggy times!!!! We need all the serotonin we can get nowadays. THANKS A TON 8BBB!!!

[@prismo4752]

This is just a pure joy. No funny Kirb joke, just a thank you.

[@The8BitBigBand]

thank YOU!

[@kinggordoproductions6203]

This knocked my socks off when I first listened to it on the album...such a unique rendition of a timeless VGM theme! Honestly feels like one of the best arrangements you guys have done! I stinkin' love how it randomly becomes a mariachi band and then a heavy swing band within the same 10 seconds

[@samner9215]

Holy cow, that sax section never ceases to amaze. Absolutely wonderful

[@warioskapelli3100]

2:33 DEDEDE!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO KINE YOU MONSTER 😱😱😱

[@changeuphitter5678]

Love the music, adore the animation, the amount of professionalism and effort you put into your remixes and videos never ceases to amaze me, more people NEED to see you guys you’re phenomenal!

[@GameBlock_]

2:59 I love how king Dedede just falls over when Kirby is chosen. Also, the music is *AMAZING*

[@NintendoFan]

I can't get enough of you guys. The arrangements, the sprite animations... it's all top notch!

[@TheCreepypro]

these guys cooked up a tasty jam that is for sure!

[@kleingrrmpf]

Your upright bass player looks a little stressed out in the solo part ^^ But amazing solo. I've expected nothing less ^^

this channel is so underrated it is criminal.

[@AKitchell]

I'm not usually a big fan of jazz, but you guys are the main exception. I don't know how you do it, but lots of your videos bring me to tears because of how beautiful they are. There's definitely something different about your arrangements, but I can't put my finger on it, and I wish I could.

[@throwscats]

What a kick ass arrangement. Every time I click on one of these videos I'm always so happy with how you guys sound. Y'all sound immaculate.

[@colin_henry1]

Seriously this is amazing. Rosen never disappoints!

[@demantim]

I still have no idea how you've gotten this off the ground financially, with top notch musicians, studio and mixing, but I'm not complaining! My 7-year old son also loves watching along for the faces the drummer makes when focused ;).

[@The8BitBigBand]

I'm lucky to be able to subsidize the cost of this ensemble with my music in other platforms like Bway and film! Thanks for listening, glad your son is having a good time too!

[@demantim]

@@The8BitBigBand Thanks for replying, I'll take a look at your other work soon :). One question, if you'll indulge me: could you give some direction to the method you use to acquire cover licenses? I'm sometimes unable to get cover licenses for tracks through Soundrop, which means I can't offer all of my covers on Spotify. Any thoughts you could share are appreciated! :D

[@Somari64]

the animation in this one is such a good visual pun

[@cooldebt]

The best thing about 8-BBB animations is that they are always in time. Absolutely amazing stuff.

[@dizzydial8081]

Amazing. I like that a nerd developed the skill of composing to make these amazing arrangements with talented musicians. Thank you all cause you guys rock.

[@octavalnormal3210]

At long last the full version is finally here! I couldn’t be happier 😁

My band director just gave me this sheet music. I play tenor. You can imagine my pain.

[@TinaBeana42]

Had this beat stuck in my head, couldn't remember what it was from and this is the suggestion youtube gave. Kinda feel it's better than the original

[@derrickcrawford1081]

I like how the pixel animations kind of sync up with the music

[@cooldebt]

These videos are absolute gold in so many ways!

[@Kurakresh]

Hands down my favourite cover you all have done. I'm in love with the standing bass, the sax solo, especially the tempo changes! It's so much fun to listen to. I can't imagine all of the hard work everyone had put in.

I was literally listening to music and came across this amazing channel.I hope that soon everyone knows this channel as it's absolutely amazing!!

[@cooldebt]

I came late to this channel because The Consouls covered Birdman and I was looking for the OST and found the 8-BBB version - best accidental find ever!

[@shy3214]

The music is incredible as always, but I love how you took the time to add animations along with it to tell a story with the song! That's truly wonderful!

[@liamm113]

Never heard a bad cover on this channel. and I think nearly every single one you've done is in contention for being better than the original

[@RDR911]

I just wish their mixing engineer didn’t hate Brass so much, or knew how to mix them better. Every recording this band does that ive heard suffers from the same issues: the brass (trumpets especially) get massively drowned out by the woodwinds, and end up sounding really wimpy.

[@TheLemonsims]

Y’all went off!!! Loved the multiple styles of jazz in one setting.

[@princesscutie9332]

You guys are playing some of my favorite songs and I could not be happier. This is such a wonderful take on it and it's just- I love it so much, thank you!

[@cooldebt]

I found 8-BBB because of a Birdman cover by The Consouls who also play a lot of VGM favourites. A very good find indeed!

[@Ikkalyzte]

Excellent editing. Highlights of the bass + adorable pink guy dancing

[@bazookabonsai8818]

Amazing, the solo reminds me of Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts. I know it's not a video game, but I'd love to hear your guy's take on "Real Folk Blues" every video I've watched has been amazing!

[@spooderman6312]

A cowboy bebop fan in the wild! I really like rush, personally

[@NekoRyuukiChan]

Wonderful arrangement, masterfully done, and amazing artwork! Personally, I don't care for the solo, though I can see that the soloist is clearly talented--it just doesn't seem to be playing an actual intended melody that complements the song, at least not to my ear. I'd love to hear the arrangement without the solo break, if only for those of us who aren't as jazz-savvy as the rest of your audience. I've always loved this group's music and their passion for it. Keep up the amazing work!

[@hikarumusic4099]

[@JonRobTom]

A classic Kirby track done in the Roaring 20s styled jazz sounds so sick and epic! Great job on the cover!

[@era31400]

Absolutely amazing! For sure one of my favorite arrangements from the band. I got some Gordon Goodwin vibes from this arrangement, especially the saxophone soli right before the straight swing at the end as well as the straight swing itself (which is definitely not a bad thing)
