I have wanted to arrange this theme for so long. As a child, I was a huge fan of Thomas the Tank Engine. I used to have "train conventions" with my dad every night where we'd line up all my Thomas the Tank Engine toys on the floor of my bedroom, and my dad would make up funny voices for each train and just talk about what happened that day! It's one of my fondest memories of childhood.
This theme was a big part of my childhood as well. I had a lot of Thomas episodes on VHS, and I don't think I knew how to fast-forward past the intro theme, so I definitely recall listening to this song many times as a kid! It's so cool to see music from my childhood being celebrated to this day. This tune is actually really really harmonically interesting - it's not quite as simple as you'd expect. There's a good amount of sudden modulations, which keep the song interesting and lend themselves very well to a jazz arrangement in my style!
I'm very fortunate to have access to a good alto saxophone now (thanks, Sab!), so you'll be seeing some alto parts on a few more videos of mine in the future. It was a lot of fun to arrange for the full AATTB saxophone section and experiment with different types of voicings!
(Also, if anyone noticed that I don't have a reed on in some of the shots in the video, I had to re-shoot some shots for this song in my apartment! Noise rules are strict, so I didn't put a reed on in an effort to keep it down. It's 100% my playing though!)

You know I've always said that the Thomas theme was actually one of the better themes of kids TV in terms of composition. It's ridiculously chromatic yet sounds completely normal - the notes go ALL over the damn place, and somehow remains catchy. Perfectly suited to jazz. You rocked it. The fat controller laughed. Gordon was cross.

Granted, as much as I love their work, I think their mojo started to run out in Season 4, and ever since then since then, the show (through all its incarnations, good and bad) has been grasping for the right sound.

Why is this so much better than the original

[@ArcadeProductions]

This is absolutely brilliant. You've done an absolutely FANTASTIC job. Not only did you arrange and perform this perfectly, you created something that I think should be featured on the show. Bravo man.

WHY IS THIS SOOOOO GOOD

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

the song is already a banger. perfect for some complex jazz. you nailed it.

[@thenamesgames6393]

This is insanely fucking good. And the fact you did it all yourself is impressive as all hell!!! Respect to you, man.

[@salzstreuer8065]

The title of this video should have been: ' *How Thomas the Tank Engine would have sounded in the 30s...* '

[@liansmith4038]

I think that the first few books of the Railway Series(the original book series that provided the basis for the TV show, look it up) were actually set in the 1920s-1930s. The books themselves were made in the 40s, making Thomas 74 yrs. old. As for the TV show, it was made in the 80s and probably set in the 60s.

[@RicketyBread]

Yes. before fast bebop existed....

[@zeltzamer4010]

Bebop is from the ‘40s.

[@karlrovey]

@@zeltzamer4010 The style started earlier. I believe the standard bebop drum pattern originated in the 1930s.
