Definitely not - that intro pretty much says "New Jack Swing" and gets folks into that frame of mind. That mix of straight and swing is really unique to New Jack Swing.
Personally, I think all versions of this theme are pure ear candy, a testament to Masato Nakamura's genius composition. 😎 🎹 Incidentally, this version is the best segue between Tee Lopes' version and the Plasma3Music remix, since it starts in Dmin and ends in Ebmin 🎶
*IMAGINE THIS WITH BRUNO MARS' "FINESSE" OVER THE TOP!?!?* *HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST DISCOVERED YOU TODAY?!?!?!!!!!!!??* Prepare for loads of comments from me cos I've been binge watching!! You are all EPIC. That Bell Biv Devoe drum solo at the beginning got me in the grrrooooovvvee! This was already a big tune from the original, and I was so curious to see what you were gonna do with it and my god you just blew me awaaayyy!!! This arrangement is *unREAL.*
I cant stop listening to this and im not even joking. Ive listened already a few time and I love the combination of that synth sound with the bass. the combination alone already got me hooked. My dad is a professional trumpet player and I've grown to jazz and swing music in my life. The trumpets at 2:17 and on for that segment in particular made me perk up and play it back to see what the heck I just heard. It's insane. This is something I love, combining new sounds that some may not like because its "new" (the synth) but with something like swing. Personally, I find it FANTASTIC.
This is incredible! I love it so much. The style fit so well for that song, You can hear the new jack swing in so many sonic songs and it's even better like this!
Oh my god I would kill for a cover of the Earthbound title theme, it’s only 17 seconds so it would be incredibly short but it’s one of my favorite title screens in gaming. (Btw I’m not talking about the opening credits I mean what plays when the word Earthbound goes on screen)
If you're talking about the first seventeen seconds of this, I totally second that. ruclips.net/video/hzjYMko3MmM/видео.html Thank you for showing me this. I guess I have to play Earthbound now.
First thing I saw by you guys was your Frank Sinatra-esque rendition of Still Alive, now that I'm seeing this I'm wondering, can we get a Frank Sinatra City Escape? That would be... groovy? Is that the right word? I feel like there's a more jazzy way to say "cool" but I don't actually know anything about jazz, I just like the way it sounds.
OK it's a week later and I'm still listening to this... *WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE HORN SECTION* 2:07 is just FIRE... but can we just talk about 2:17 - 2:21??!!! That part gives me absolute chills!!!! And that modulation after the piano solo... Jhheeezzzzeeee..... This is just the absolute BEST Sonic remix I've ever heard. LOVE that drummer as well... This sounds like it came "fresh" outta Bel-Air!
ABSOLUTE GOOSEBUMPS..! I always felt back then that this song had a Jazz influence, much more so than the others, and what better way of having it covered... The intro 'Poison', that was hilarious!
If the definition of groovy could be described by a song, this would be it. Stevie wonder would be jealous with the awesome solos and smooth in-sync rhythms you guys pull off! Another stellar work and I can’t wait for the next one! Got my fingers crossed for Mario Galaxy 1/2 😄
I have a request--could you possibly do the "Great Fairy Fountain Theme/Majora's Mask Title Theme"? That's quite possibly one of the most beautiful pieces of music to exist, and I'd love to hear your take on it!
Wow... all I can say is Wow. THis song was always one of my favorites from Sonic 1...but to hear it done truly done in a Jazz format is so cool. And THEN ADD the 90's New Jack Swing to it. UNBELIEVEABLE
First, let me compliment Tails on his facial work, you could land a plane on that chin :3 Second, though it is repetition and bares no repeating, you all are talented beyond words. Smashing as always!
i find it to be a hard time accepting that this released 2 years ago. i remember watching this immediately after getting the notification. this channel is such a gem.
You know what 8bitbigband... I’m not going to lie, I was skeptical hearing your version, as a lot of other Video Game Jazz Bands have also done wonderful renditions of this song, but you never cease to surprise me with your creative arrangements, and I’m absolutely happy with how this came out You make me proud to be a video game music lover 🥰 ❤️🥰
❤❤❤ 🔥 🔥 🔥 how is it I’m just hearing of you guys now?! I’m listening to this while editing a video at work… just the intro alone and then that opening blast of the saxes and horns had boppin’ back and forth in my seat.
FINALLY!! Been waiting for this for sooo long. Definitely the best track, yet. And the best part in this best track is this damn groovy bass line at 1:39 ❤❤ Keep it up ❤ Can't wait for album 3
I wonder how many of these musicians actually played the game when they were children and all the good memories they had with it. Playing in a band like this must be the best job in the world.
Missed opportunity for "Swing Yard Zone"
Change it fast and no one will notice xD
@@The8BitBigBand Please edit the title lol.
Brooo
I searched "swing yard zone" and this was the first video to come up lol
Lmao that makes me so happy
The fact you used the Bell Biv DeVoe: poison intro was phenomenal 😮. 10/10
I came around to say this lol
I distinctly remember that snare solo part in one of the sonic levels but I cant for the life of me remember which game or level it was
Amen
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who heard it😂
Definitely not - that intro pretty much says "New Jack Swing" and gets folks into that frame of mind. That mix of straight and swing is really unique to New Jack Swing.
It's crazy how you're able to make it seem like all these songs were always meant to be played this way.
they were
They kind of were when you think how obvious jazz influences are in Mario or how obvious Rock influences can be found in Megaman tracks
@@theFROZEX the main characters in megaman are called Rock and Roll for a reason
If the Genesis had the ability to play live music, they might have been.
I mean, the song begged for this.
This is officially my favorite arrangement of Spring Yard Zone, no joke.
Same.
(What do you think of Tee Lopes's rendition of the song? I think it's good, but not as good as this one.)
@@andrewxu3602
I think Tee Lopes' eats this version ip lol.
Personally, I think all versions of this theme are pure ear candy, a testament to Masato Nakamura's genius composition. 😎 🎹
Incidentally, this version is the best segue between Tee Lopes' version and the Plasma3Music remix, since it starts in Dmin and ends in Ebmin 🎶
@@andrewxu3602 Lopes' version of the song is delightful
@@DaDandyman Yah ruclips.net/video/2Vp5aMPAUYQ/видео.htmlsi=4RYYNkhuD7L0GIVn Especially that last minute of the song, destroys this version.
I just want to take that synth solo and spread it on toast.
Same with the tenor sax solo
Yeah thats some real buttery jam there
😩😩😩😩😩
I think it's an alto
You won't have to worry about it spreading smoothly
I love Jazz so much. I'm glad people like y'all are keepin' it alive.
Same
Still alive
@@nobodybestfriendnbf7743 🎵When you're dying I'll be still alive🎶
@@armchairrocketscientist4934 What is your favorite form of Jazz?
I'd say SMOOTH Jazz is my favorite
@@franktruth8341 ew
That BBD Poison setup tho 😎👌🔥🔥🔥🔥
Exactly, that reeled me in.
Ever since the 1 minute one, I’ve been obsessed.
Same
I've been waiting, and they delivered
you're "poison"ed
Liked the Bell Biv Devoe reference at the start!
Poison!
From Boston, With Love🖖🏿🎶🕺🏿
I couldn’t even think of the name of it, thank you
yess!!
Came to comments to say that.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS EVER SINCE I HEARD THE ONE MINUTE BYTE!
It feels as if i have waited *YEARS* for this masterpiece
bruh your name is dio but your pfp is jotaro litterally unplayable i rate your channel 6/10
@@a-ramenartist9734 new patch released problem fixed
Brings out the swank in this song, love the energy and the synth.
Thank you for this wonder.
When J3P0 starts using the pitch bender during his synth solo I legitimately yelled "YEAH! WOOOOOO" really loudly in my Pre-Calc class
Cringe

You are all EPIC. That Bell Biv Devoe drum solo at the beginning got me in the grrrooooovvvee! This was already a big tune from the original, and I was so curious to see what you were gonna do with it and my god you just blew me awaaayyy!!!
This arrangement is *unREAL.*
Man, this is such a good song to groove and vibe to... hats off to 8-bit, you guys sure know how to keep it jazzy around here on youtube

2:17 is the BEST PART!!! 💯💯💯
The New Jack Swing infusion shattered me into a million pieces. Genius.
Always good to hear the 8 bit Big Band play again!
This sounds amazing while Sonic plays himself.
This is incredible! I love it so much. The style fit so well for that song, You can hear the new jack swing in so many sonic songs and it's even better like this!
@@The8BitBigBand Yeah, It was great for it! It works so well!
This tune is already Every Little Step by Bobby Brown, so they didn't have to do that much work.
@@Afghamistam Eh, It's similar! The arrangement has a bunch of references to all that new jack swing stuff like the drum into being Poison!
Love the drummer with the mario t-shirt. What a flex.
That transition from Big band to Piano solo is what I live for.
Oh my god I would kill for a cover of the Earthbound title theme, it’s only 17 seconds so it would be incredibly short but it’s one of my favorite title screens in gaming. (Btw I’m not talking about the opening credits I mean what plays when the word Earthbound goes on screen)

This is absurdly good.
The breakdown starting at 2:05 gives me chills. So good!
no cap

This is what you get when Spring Yard and Casinopolis (Sonic Adventure) have a baby. ❤
This is all Absolutely amazing! I love the parts at 0:52 and 2:26 !
Damn that bass is on fire Charlie. 🔥 Beautiful arrangement as always, you cats are killin’ it!
So many transitions in the sound!
I never knew the Spring Yard Zone Theme could turn into such wild audio adventure!
This is the best music related thing I’ve heard in my LIFE.
The 8-Bit Big Band Stay Groovy Guys! 😎
That synth solo gave me chills! Well arranged rendition of a sonic classic. Once again, well done 8-Bit Big Band!!
I’ve been waiting soooo long! Thank you!
I heard that Poison reference!… 🤣🤣🤣 but seriously! THIS IS SO FUNKY!!
Oh hell yeah. It's damn groovy up in here.
I'm falling in love with this channel. Awesome work guys.
Never played any Sonic game, but boy do I love when people make such magic with its music. Please never stop
This performance was incredible
How do these videos not have more views? This is amazing the musicianship and work involved is second to none 🙌
This is so funky it hurts.
The intro though, with the drums. You know you guys want to do a DK Jungle Swing cover.
ABSOLUTE GOOSEBUMPS..!
I always felt back then that this song had a Jazz influence, much more so than the others, and what better way of having it covered...
The intro 'Poison', that was hilarious!
So beautiful
This has no right to be as good as it is, AND I LOVE IT. Hello, childhood.

It's so fun to watch Charlie killing it on the bass.
This song wasn't even close to be what I consider my favorite from Sonic 1... but this... this is beyond expectations!
0:05 Girl I must warn you....
Please tell me someone gets this reference.
I have a request--could you possibly do the "Great Fairy Fountain Theme/Majora's Mask Title Theme"? That's quite possibly one of the most beautiful pieces of music to exist, and I'd love to hear your take on it!
Wow I would listen to just that bass part it is amazing
Oh damn the sax, gets better and better
This is probably one of your most beautiful tracks, if not the best one!
I really would like to see Chemical Plant Zone one day, it would be amazing!
Awesome job with the full version. Hoping to hear more Sonic in the future, especially Casino Night and Be Cool, Be Wild, Be Groovy.
Big smile on my face after those soloes. Esp. liked the Moog - not a typical jazz solo instrument :)
Wow... all I can say is Wow. THis song was always one of my favorites from Sonic 1...but to hear it done truly done in a Jazz format is so cool. And THEN ADD the 90's New Jack Swing to it. UNBELIEVEABLE
Amazing! You folks are incredible!
Great Improv from the synth, sax and piano. Loved it!
merry Christmas and thank ya for the sweet tunes
One of my favorite songs in the new album.
Oooh that transition from Synth to Sax was nasty....in an amazing way
First, let me compliment Tails on his facial work, you could land a plane on that chin :3
Second, though it is repetition and bares no repeating, you all are talented beyond words. Smashing as always!

Look at super guitar Bros version. It's awesome!
Just perfect. Thank you guys.
I'm seriously considering to quit my job at the law firm to go back to music, you inspire me.
Well that's DOPE.
0:32 that part was really good
When the beat hit you so hard you give it that stank face? Yall def earned this sub. How am I JUST finding you guys?!
Rhythm section locked up tight on this one right?? thanks for listening :)
Funky. I love it.
