![Yoshis Island LIVE Jazz Cover // J-MUSIC Pocket Band [Acoustic #06]
The J-MUSIC Pocket Band covers Yoshis Island from Super Smash Bros: Melee, originally from Super Mario World, composed by Koji Kondo.
Heres a full-on classic jazz arrangement for you! This is probably the closest weve gotten to early jazz on this channel, and were happy to use this song to bring it to you. This song is so awesome, and we havent seen a version like this on YouTube yet, so here you go! And we got Ben Rosenblum to play accordion! How awesome is that?
Pocket Band now has a new home in New York City! Were hosting VGM+ (vgm and more) jazz jam sessions at Black Cat LES every 1st Sunday of the month. If youre a musician, bring your axe, and if youre nlt a musician, bring your DS, Switch, or your good vibes! Everyone is welcome. We want to make this a nice haven for J-culture lovers and music lovers alike. Go to our official Facebook group below for more info!
