Joystick Jazz: The Blueshift Big Band Plays Classic Mario Tunes Vol.3

Description

A triple jump here, a quick dash there, a well-placed Koopa strike, a slide to the flagpole... The speed and frenzy of the platform games in the Super Mario Bros. series demand quick reflexes, rhythm, and improvisation. There is something undeniably jazzy about the action, and the legendary music of the series embodies that same spirit. With this incredible album, the Blueshift Big Band has paid a loving tribute to that unique sound. This is Joystick Jazz: The Blueshift Big Band Plays Classic Mario Tunes (Vol. 3) Vinyl Soundtrack! While the first two installments of the Joystick Jazz collection drew from a wide range of nostalgic video game soundtracks, one legendary franchise (featuring a particularly iconic and dapper plumber) was notably absent. Now you know why: these jazz geniuses were saving their interpretations for a mega-LP, filled with tunes from across the series' history, from Super Mario Bros. 2 to Super Mario Odyssey, including spin-offs like Mario Kart 64. And since this is another iam8bit collaboration, you know the drill: you'll get even more legendary artwork from our multi-award-winning friend Mark Borgions, along with a high-quality black vinyl approved by audiophile snobs. This is iam8bit's third collaboration with the incredibly talented Blueshift Big Band! Check out Volume 1 and Volume 2 for even more elegance, finesse, and toe-tapping fun.
