ReMix:Super Mario 64 "Big-Band Battlefield" 6:31

So much win in that bari solo. It's so cool when you get the collaboration of so many talented musicians to dedicate some rehearsal and performance time to VGM.

Man, this really sounds like something out of a club. Charming and with the background talking, makes it feel almost like you're there. Can't do much about some of the production on these live "one shot" ReMixes, but I still think the audio held up well. Nice and swanky and lives up to the big band sound. About the only thing I wasn't crazy about with the drum solo. Got a tad bit carried away, but oh well. Nicely done, y'all earned another pint of Amsterdam.

Production issues are forgivable here -- fantastic arrangement and performance. This would have been right at home in a 1940s gala.

I'm a huge fan of big band/swing and jazz in general- coupled with this me being my favorite Mario 64 this just tops it off as one of my favorite Mario 64 remixes ever. We SO need more jazz mixes.

Nice arrangement. The clapping and talking in the background really adds to the atmosphere.

I'm not too hot on the drum solo, though. The bari one was cool, but the drum solo was just a little bit too self-indulgent.

I sure hope this site gets more live jazz submission in the future.

I think OA said it best - this is so very charming. The live warm sound and background chatter ("another pint of amsterdamn...") fit so well. Gems like these make the world go round.

Hey, great rendition of a classic track. Mario 64 has a special place in my heart as the first "3D" game I ever played and music, for me, is instantly recognoisable since I played the game so much ... . I really dig the real instrument mixes, especially jazz, which lends itself particularly well to this (there's a lot of personality that comes through in the solos and whatnot).

My only "complaint" is that the audio sounds a bit washed out, but not much you can do about that (at least without haven't professional recording equipment and whatnot). Either way I LOVE the arrangement and the solos are a nice touch .

Can I have another pint of Amsterdam, please?

This is a really fitting piece for this time of the year - jazz band stuff really works well here. Been listening to this on repeat for the past few times while wrapping Christmas presents and figuring out a surprise for the OCR goers to MAGFest.

There is a slight bit of sloppiness found here and there, but it's a live performance that's largely well done. Arrangement-wise, I can't say I really have much to complain about, and the recording quality is pretty good which is a huge plus. I hope more live jazz stuff makes it to OCR, it's always a pleasure to listen to this stuff.

This site needs more live jazz. I love all the background stuff going on, and you feel like you're really in a club listening to this. Your recorder did a pretty kickin' job, I'm impressed.

Props to the bari, he's got some nasty chops.

Well this blows my jazz arrangement of this theme completely out of the water. (Which is probably a good thing, seeing as how I was most likely never going to finish it.)

What can I say? I gave it a standing ovation.

WOOOO! This is so optimally great. Big band-style jazz is one of my favourite musical genres, and this is just totally excellent! I love the really jammy feel of this, too. The source is there for sure, but all the flourishing solos going on all the time make it feel so much more like a huge jam session of awesomeness. Also, mad props to all in terms of soloing, everything sounds greeeeeat!

Beyond Epic. Gotta show this to some guy is my band.

This is awesome guys. You sure know how to put on a show:

Great job guys, I've been to a few big band jazz concerts and everything about this felt the same way I did at those concerts. Solos were great, wasn't really feelin the drum one though. I've been wantin to get into creating jazz pieces and I'll be using you guys for reference. Great remix guys!
