"Victory Road" (Pokemon Gold & Silver) LIVE Jazz Cover // J-MUSIC Pocket Band

- Our live cover of "Victory Road" from Pokemon Gold & Silver, originally composed by Junichi Masuda. This arrangement by Patrick Bartley.
The road to victory is a road often sought after and traveled, but only few manage to complete it. With this arrangement, we hoped to capture that feeling of digging into the deepest part of the self to conquer the greatest obstacles - with some cool twists here and there, of course. When I (Pat) first heard this song last year (having not gotten to the end of the 2nd gen games prior), I was taken aback by how hip the melody and counter-line were. It struck me how much of a vibe was able to be created with just a snare drum, melody, and ostinato counter-line. With that, I knew we had to play this right away. To bring this to life, I took some inspiration from our good friend, Ben Sutin, who has been known in the past few years for his genius fusions of klezmer music and jazz, with some other various Balkan twists, and let the band (who plays with him) go off into the next zone with this one. Here, the horns take a back seat to let the rhythm section ride, and some of the most amazing and stretching solos we've witnessed can be heard from Ben on violin, Ben Rosenblum on accordion, Jake on vibes, and Ben Zweig on drums (that's 3 Ben's!). We hope this inspires you to push on to your own victories, no matter what road you have to travel!

Y'all ever get SO into your stand-up bass playing that you physically loose control of your body
This guy has been getting it in pretty much all of these acoustic series videos. Props to him.
Good music will do that to people
Oh my gosh the drummer was so good!! My heart!!
Aaah pkmn gold was my first pkmn game so I was really happy to see this in my notifications! Wonderful job!! ❤️
Thank you 🙏❤
I read pkmn as pikmin
The clothes reveal the genre and it's wonderful
I don't even know what genre this is
I really want the GS version of Viridian Forest. It is so cool.
That's definitely one of your more energetic pieces! Amazing! A bit overwhelming at times, but still amazing! Jake's vibraphone solo was absolutely stunning and while it took me some time to get used to the timbre of the violin in this line-up, I can't deny how insane his solo was!!
The accordion solo is so good
They always are.
I really love this cover. Especially the violin solo
This is incredible!!
Que lindo, tem partes que parecem forró brasileiro. Continuem assim! ❤️😭❤️
Yooo this is hard 😮💨
YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS!!!!!
Victory Road theme song from the Pokemon series shall be put into Mario Kart 9 or 10 and you will be able to unlock Red , Gold , Silver , Crystal And various others
Wow! Love this!!
This is one of those experimental type songs huh
God that’s some nostalgia fuel.
You guys would absolutely slay the new One Piece Wano opening!
Yeah man!! Great arrangement of this one!
You guys kicked ass with Splatoon's Ink Me Up over at SiIvaGunner's channel, really hope to see more arrangements done by you folks over there!
Such a creative cover man so good
9:10 yo know they’re grooving when he pulls a tambourine out
Always improving I see, good job!
Post Malone plays a mean accordion
Fax

I f*ck with this. You guys should do a cover of Driftveil City, it'd be awesome to hear a jazzy version of that :D
裏が強烈でかっこいい
a cover of virbank city from b&w 2 would be cool af
MK 8 Deluxe shall have as a final lap theme
When is your next concert i really want to experience your music in person. Thank you.
Have you played Wario Land 4? The game has some really good music. You'd kill it with a cover of the "Hurry up!" Theme.
I love you guy's music! the arrangement sounds amazing but the accordion n xylphone at the beginning just weren't it imo but the solo's are sexy as everrrrrrr keep it up my guys
It took a bit to warm up
I guess it was a bit experimental for them

Aww the ekruteak city theme would be orgasmic
First
