Cowboy Bebop 1998 challenges our understanding of time as it includes jazz music in its soundtrack, despite jazz music not being invented until 2017 with the release of the Persona 5 soundtrack.
+Erico Shimatta There once was a tiger-striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived & lived a million lives, and he was owned by various people who he really didn't care for. The cat wasn't afraid to die. Then one day the cat became a stray cat which meant he was free. He met a white female cat & the two of them spent their days together happily. Well, years passed & the white cat grew weak & died of old age. The tiger-striped cat cried a million times, & then he died too. Except this time, he didn't come back to life.
when this came on the scene there was just nothing like it. The box set cost me $125.00 back then and it was probably the only box set I've ever bought.
Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime, has my favorite soundtrack, characters, animation, hell, basically every aspect of this show amazes me. I could gush on and on about this, but instead, I'll just throw out a word that aptly describes Bebop and my experiences with it: Smooth.
My favorite thing about the Cowboy Bebop storyline is that with the exceptions of Jupiter Jazz and The Real Folk Blues every episode was it's own adventure. They didn't keep leaving cliffhangers at the end of every episode. You could watch the episodes in random order and not miss out on the story much.
Holy shit i wish i never knew about the series till now so i can watch it and be like "HOLY SHIT I WISH I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE SERIES TILL NOW SO I CAN WATCH IT AND BE LIKE"
Well, here's how I regain that experience: I don't watch Cowboy Bebop for about a year so that I forget the entire plot. With how much happens in that show, it's easy for me to forget a lot of it.
When I was in Jazz Band back in the Early 2000s My Jazz teacher Gave us the lovely opportunity to pick our own piece of music... I was blown away when I heard he would Pick one of the Songs from the students.... Naturally Yes I picked a Cowboy Bebop Song, and Presented it to the Band. 99% of my Fellow Bandmates thought this was Garbage except for a Trumpet Buddy of mine thought it was genius... As we presented out pieces, I was 2nd to last to present my Song.. My teacher Closed his eyes and started the Song... as soon as the song started he immediately opened his eyes and Looked at me with this Strange look in his face. Confused yet surprised, He actually enjoyed the song, Once it ended he asked where it was from. And although he didn't choose the song and His Asshole son (who happen to be a member in the band Hated it....) I knew that he enjoyed it......
Man, I love this song, I get chills up and down my body listening to it and jamming along. Even though Cowboy Bebop is 11 years old now, its still the best damn Anime, if not for the plot then at least for the awesome soundtrack! Props to Yoko Kanno and "The Seatbelts" for coming up with that one. Definitely an "eargasm" :D
AirsoftTim92 Yeah, also when I first saw the scene fight from the first episode of Cowboy Bebop it reminded me of the restaurant fight between Jin and Mugen, both animes are amazing
Going to run a DND game with my friends in a homebrew setting that’s basically fantasy mixed with dieselpunk with the aesthetic of the 20s. Safe to say, I hit a goldmine for combat music.
When this song played in the show, it was in that scene that one of my favorite lines from spike was said and I feel like it doesn't get much love, "You trust your eyes too much Asimov, you're not a chameleon you know, you can't see everywhere at once."
Not to be nit picky but I wouldn't really classify this as old jazz, in fact very far from it. This song would be considered modern jazz, 50's-60's bebop. You won't hear long and fast bebop lines in the melody in any Old Jazz of Ellington and Armstrong from 20's.
I used to not like jazz. Then I watched Cowboy Bebop. Now I like jazz. That's how it works.
It just works

hearing this really takes me back

LMFAO!
🤣
I'm rewatching cowboy bebop at this time
This is relatable
That long ago? Poor fellah
Thank you Michael Reeves for using music from the masterpiece that is this anime
Alvi Frémont Ooh Michael reeves he is funny
Yes
Indeed.
He used this? When?
TheOtherLogan - In the surgery robot video; his most recent video.
The bassline just stays cool the whole time - I love this
When you are third chair trumpet but suddenly get thrust into a solo
DrRisen - When you are second chair and suddenly DON’T get a solo
when this came on the scene there was just nothing like it. The box set cost me $125.00 back then and it was probably the only box set I've ever bought.
That's bebop for you
Yeah, I'm really curious as to why they used that take of the trumpet solo. Totally threw me off the groove.
Okay maybe I'm stupid but I don't hear a Trumpet Solo. I've listened to it a good five times straight and nothing? Can someone put a timestamp
This song just feels like a chase scene. amazing
That’s because it was In a chase since and a fight one at the same time

They didn't keep leaving cliffhangers at the end of every episode. You could watch the episodes in random order and not miss out on the story much.
Cowboy bebop soundtrack is so insanely good
For those complaining about the solo, remember who composed this piece - Yoko Kanno. She's cool but strange cat.
The solo was improvised, and it's fine. People saying it's bad haven't listened to enough jazz
Man, this song brings back so many memories...Yoko Kanno is a genius, plain and simple.
IF my school band would play this, i would drop a class and rejoin
Lol that'd have to be one talented school band
daniel gutierrez honestly same
We played this in my schools honors jazz band last year
Fuck, if my school band played anything from Bebop, I'd drop everything and watch it. Film it too
Show them this, and maybe they will 😋
I can’t believe this dropped 14 years ago and the anime is even older than that. Time flies man especially the good times.
they need to make a mod in fallout 4 where it adds all the jazz music into the game called the "The Bebop Station"
true
In general, a bebop-only station for fallout would be cool
would love this
I'd want to play as spike in Fallout 4 with dogmeat as ein
lets hit up a awesome modder for this task....i wanna hear jupiter jazz,rush,tank,paino black and others on fallout 4.

Jajajajaja, the definition of RUSH itself.
it's already too late at that point lmao i'd pretend like i was takin a mad shit and then start the dishes after
1:44 i swear i can hear the james bond theme in the background.
You're not wrong
Ahhh, good! I'm not the only one who caught that!
It's a motif, used before bond but made famous by it
I've seen a lot of shows, but I'll never see anything better than this show.
Picked up a hint of the James Bond chord progression at 1:44 mark... genuinely loved the nod.
Exactly what I was thinking

Yoko Kanno is a National Treasure.

Before Fallout, this was the ultimate proof that jazz and science fiction combines well. It still is now.
Around 1:44 ish you can hear a james bond melody and I love it :). Brings a smile to my face.
love this track! once it gets going theres so much energy in it!
Yoko Kanno is just a fantastic composer and arranger and it’s weird how unknown she seems to be outside of Japan.
