A joyful, live celebration of Super Mario jazz music from New York City's @VGMCollective ! 🎵
Stream this album â–¸ http://vgm.fm/mariolive đź’ż Vinyl & Merch: https://gamechops.shop/products/live-from-the-mushroom-kingdom-super-mario-jazz-pre-order
Performed by a full ensemble featuring trumpet, saxophone, flute, piano, bass, and drums, the album brings classic Nintendo themes to life through upbeat grooves, swinging horn sections, and expressive solo performances. The energy is warm and playful, capturing the feeling of musicians reacting to one another in real time.
Across the tracklist, familiar Mario melodies are reimagined through a wide range of jazz styles. Delfino Plaza swings with driving saxophone lines and energetic rhythm sections, while others like Rainbow Road slow down into soft, reflective café-style jazz that feels perfect for a rainy afternoon.
Flute-led journeys like Rosalina in the Observatory feel bright and adventurous, tracks like Cosmic Cove Galaxy are mellow downtempo arrangements gently carry the listener forward, and standout jams transform iconic themes into lively, road-trip-ready performances.
VGM Collective is a New York–based video game music ensemble known for live jazz reinterpretations of classic game soundtracks. Founded by trumpet player Max Boiko, the group brings together seasoned jazz musicians to perform video game music with improvisational flair, rich harmonies, and a deep respect for the original compositions.
Their releases focus on live performance, musicianship, and the communal energy of jazz; translating beloved game worlds into expressive, human performances. Previous GameChops releases include Live from Pallet Town which showcased their live jazz approach to Pokémon music and helped establish their place in the GameChops catalog as a go-to group for full-band, jazz-forward video game reinterpretations.
