[@Aaron-te8kf]

I definitely have to learn this song on my clarinet

[@DiceGames]

Funny story: Mark was my first ever clarinet teacher, and he was awesome. Just a master at the instrument. His talent is simply impeccable, and I can't stress enough how awesome he is. He taught me a few really important things about the clarinet back in 2015, and I won't ever forget them. The other funny thing is that the Alto Sax 2/Flute guy Josh Plottner was ALSO my teacher after Mark, and I learned so much from him too! Both of those guys are badasses, just unbelievably super talented. Josh knows like 25+ instruments also, and has basically made it his goal to learn as many instruments as possible too lol. Anyway, I'm so happy to see this timeless piece covered by some of my favorite musicians and 2 teachers, it's definitely inspiring. Well done guys

[@The8BitBigBand]

Wow thats so awesome! The cycle continues thanks for sharing this!!

I never got Mario Galaxy on the original Wii because my parents didn't want me playing video games since I was pretty young, but this brings back so many memories of seeing the commercials and my friends play it. Truly a masterpiece.

[@The8BitBigBand]

Hope you got a chance to play it since then! It's really such a great game, but also yes the sound track is a masterpiece

[@GameBlock_]

I was able to play it in 3D all stars. Not only is it a great game, but it looks stunning in HD!

[@wenting2457]

The bass ostinato in the beginning is so smart! It really borrows from Someday My Prince Will Come, the Miles' version, it's such a great callback!

[@renenk4824]

I started crying out of joy when I heard this nostalgic melody. God I remember all the happy memories, how I used to adore the sound track and simply remain on the space station to listen to this masterpiece. It filled me with joy and still does today. Thank you all so very much. I will listen to this whenever I am sad as of now.

[@joeldomkus2974]

As a jazz musician I’m amazed at these arrangements you’ve been putting out, not only is this gorgeous, but after the key change, the recapitulation of the melody just exudes the spirit and sound of broadway and New York, it truly is incredible

[@jefflevene2953]

Absolutely gorgeous- does a perfect job honoring how flawless the og was while still bringing such a unique take one it- bravo y’all!

[@MatthewChristianMurray]

Yep. The OST to this game was recorded with mostly live instruments, right? Including strings and brass? It’s one thing when the OG is just FM with four-voice polyphony, quite another when it is, itself, an orchestral piece.

[@NobodyNowhereKnowhow]

Honestly, the level of polish on this chart is in a galaxy all it’s own, but Mark has got some major chops on the clarinet. This made an amazing ballad to show off your band’s skills. I remember my time in a big band. I always wanted to have strings incorporated and do more doubling (sax player, if you couldn’t tell). I always thought it was really cool to transition to flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, or piccolo for part of a piece, it really changes the chart IMO for that section, if done well.

[@DevAvidon]

Having worked out of Bunker a lot, I’m honestly impressed you guys managed to finagle a legit big band into that space - it’s not that big a room! Great sounding arrangement and beautiful recording.

I hope you tour, I will pay you money, even though I have almost none to give being a theater sound artist myself. The arts are a hard life. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Update: I signed up to support you a bit on Patreon. Gladly. It's not much, just a few bucks a month, but I'm glad I can at least contribute a little something of value.
