Created for the insaneintherainmusic jazz challenge. Check him out for some high-quality VGM jazz covers.
Featuring my friend, nomallife (Alex Lopez) on the bari sax and a couple alto parts.
I aimed to emulate a sort of big band style while still retaining the sort of whimisical vibe of the original piece. I really wanted to aim for the boppy big band style, but I'm not quite there yet. In any case, this piece certainly retains a full big band vibe! It was definitely a challenge making this with band camp going on at the same time, but in the end I got it finished!
