Our live cover of “Athletic” from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, originally composed by Koji Kondo. This arrangement by Patrick Bartley. Recorded live at Black Cat LES in New York City on March 1, 2020.
(1920s American voice) “Nyeaas, come one, come all – welcome to the 22nd annual state fair! We’ve got strong men, bearded women, sword and fire eaters, and more! We’ve even got a brand new attraction that’ll really rip your trousers off. Come feast your eyes on our mesozoic marvel, our prehistoric predecessor, our very own, real life dinosaur! Found in the exotic lands of Japan, his original finders named him, “Yoshi”, and boy is he a sight to see. Our dinosaur friend here can run this entire death-defying obstacle course in no time flat! What’s more? For just $0.50 cents, your son or daughter can ride Yoshi through the obstacle course! A Triassic treat, a Jurassic joyride, for just $0.50 cents! Don’t you worry your pretty little heads, now, mothers; this Yoshi’s got a heart of gold, he’d never let your baby drop –(quietly) but if he does, we ain’t liable, sweetheart. And performing the hottest music of today for your listening pleasure, the J-MUSIC Pocket Band! So whaddya say? Come on down for this once in a lifetime spectacle – at the 22nd annual state fair!”

Fantastic performance!
Damn, Connor McDavid plays standup bass on his free time! Who knew!
why is Caseoh in the back to the left of the drummer
Was the mic inside the saxophone? 😂
dang these guys be blasting! straight A's!
The accordion was a champ, he truly knows how to back up everybody on soft notes
the sax guy looks like if denzel washington wanted to play the sax instead. lol
Not half way and I allready enjoy it! Great job guy, for making this song yours.
Wtf with that description 😂😂
COOL, AWESOME, EXCELLENT, LOVELY
The last phrase of the trumpet solo is literal insanity. Unbelievable to hear someone pull that off.
Amazing!
You guys gotta do Mario Wonder!!

If we get a remake on the switch or the next nintendo console, the OST should be COMPLETELY Remade in a Jazz Style.
why does this look like a scene from a wes anderson movie
BOY THAT SAXOPHONE CAN PLAY
Why has it taken me 3 years to discover this!!! Incredible! One of my favourite pieces of game music and you gave it the respect it deserved and then took it HIGHER. Much respect.
That bass solo was so fire! (All of them were!)
I love this! I’ve never even played this particular game lol I appreciate it nonetheless, and also love the brick motif – really great presentation here guys. How’d you record to get the levels so good? Because I don’t see many individual mics
anyone else think that the drummer looks like aliensrock
Feeling down on your luck?
Does life just kinda suck?
I wish I could say nope
Then it sounds like you need hope!
It keeps a guy fulfilled
For me it's not being killed!
Oh, it's like that joy when we kidnap boys!
Uh, no.
Hoping for food or some (WHAT)
It's sure to brighten your mood
But there's nothing to look forward to
Surely that's not true!
Learn to cook
Or read a book
There's no need to grieve!
So please for the love of god, let us leave!
I really wanna travel far and wide
Sure, of course, just no more homicide.
But what could be better than serious trauma?
Have you considered owning a pet llama?
OUUUUUUUUUUU
Very interesting, I'll note that feedback!
See guys? Life's a blast when you stop looking in the past!
And don't you worry, friends
Cause in the end
You are brothers who have each other
So hope will always stay
To make your day
Now please
Just go away!
dude the sax player literally sounds like bird
You guys are absolutely incredible!
