- Our cover of "Overworld Theme" from Super Mario Bros. 2, originally composed by Koji Kondo. This arrangement by Patrick Bartley.
So, we got a bunch of new Super Mario Maker 2 info! Game's looking great, and all, but we didn't see any info about putting your own music in the game... Ok, to be fair, no main line Mario game has ever given you that option, but we're the J-MUSIC Ensemble, and we can dream, can't we? Here's our version of the Overworld theme from Mario 2! This one was an easy pick for us because it already did the work for us of being a jazz tune (lol), and it sounds like a standard people would play back in the 1920s or 30s! So we played it just like that. This is us at our most comfortable, playing in the style that we play most in New York City. In this special treat, you get to hear solos from everybody in the band! Try playing Mario 2 (or any Mario game if you want) while this is in the background instead of the main music, and tell us your experience! (We haven't done it yet, so we're just curious about yours)
==============================

This instrumentation is always how I pictured this song whenever I've played Mario 2. Old school jazz reminiscent of Lil Rascals shorts I watched as a kid. I'd bet the original composer would agree.
I’d say is more related to jazz manouche (gypsy jazz) that guitarist Django was known for. If I were to replace an instrument, it would be the electric guitar to acoustic. It wouldn’t be a bad idea having Pat play the clarinet on this one either, but he is a beast on the sax though….
3:24 that "woo" was in tune lmao
This works so damn well as a jazz tune
This IS a jazz tune
@@thomaswilliams3435 haah right? xD
its like take the a train lol
@@thomaswilliams3435 can you explain what makes it a jazz tune besides the people playing in this video?
@@baileyayyy5085I would say , in this ocassion , the swing feel
bass solo is crazy, they quote the melody in thumb position... insane
Nice to have a relaxing song to chill out to after all the upbeat pieces from the sakura festival👌🏼
Garrett's soloing is crazy good, but really what goes unnoticed is his bullet proof comping. you can set a watch by it. stellar player
The sax player especially sounded really nice on all the quicker note flourishes. Super tight rhythm and a soft smooth sound.
This is incredible!!!! Mario 2 overworld theme is the best!!!! Sounds like old-school Charleston or New Orleans tunes..
perfect halloween idea:
- dress up as any playable character in SMB2
- throw vegetables at people
- blast this the whole time
0:21 I always loved that trill (or whatever it's called in music theory).
DAMN, the accordian is such a good vibe on this track.. nailed it!
Sounds like something Django Reinhardt would have played!! Amazing!
Even the little fluttery notes were so perfect... Really made me smile that you included those. I absolutely love this theme so much!!!! THE DRUMMER THOUGH 🥺🥺🥺😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love hearing brushes on the snare... Killed it!!!
Man..,this is like comfort food. Thanks again for this skill!
That bass solo omg that is so hard to play. Double bass, with the string that high, its hard, fretless, damn love the bassist!
Ummmmm..... Is this upload schedule going to continue cuz I don't want the videos to stop. Great job guys.
OH and I saw on your band camp that you take requests... Not sure what the proper way of requesting is so I'll just tack it on the end of this comment but... Something from xenoblade 2 torna (like the battle theme though I'm not sure how you would do a pocket band version... ) or octopath would make me a very happy human being :P
I want all of the characters in the game to wear jazz hats and have this version playing.
Glad that i discovered your channel! Keep up the nice work, appreciate the beautiful music
This has inspired me to start playing sax (Tenor) again. Thank you for all of the awesome content.
Amazing rendition. The drummer absolutely killed it!
Not sure why, but youtube has been showing me loads of videos from 4 years ago. I'm really glad I was reccomended this one! Great playing!
Everything was better 4 years ago. I'm sure there are many reasons...
I wish I could afford this kind of talent for my wedding!
I love these guys so much they make my day!!!
I first heard you guys from Adam Neely's video. I wish I have just a fraction of talent as you guys. Please keep up the amazing job
The bass line is so cool. You guys are amazing
haha that love that little cool blues bird lick from the accordion player. Love all his solos tbh. Great playing all!
This makes me happy. Great cover guys
One of my favorite pieces done in any video game. Thank you for this!! God bless
AMAZING COVER!! It got me dancing from start to finish. 😆
That was amazing. And not just because I already love the song from years of having it engrained into my brain. What a performance. So great. Every single musician is killing it, can't pick a favourite.
Really gives so much more variety to the experience, got out my old gameboy advance to play super Mario 2 and it was a whole trip.
Awesome!!
The solos were simply incredible!
You guys are awesome!
Can't wait to hear more
amazing as always
Is this a masterpiece or something?
Feels so good to hear this cover
Thank you a lot! Puts a smile on my face every time I listen to it!

So good! Thanks for the upload
Beautiful work as always, very groovy and catchy :)

Beautiful
Nice to hear extensions of the base song, and all well played too.
Very cool.
Wow, this sounds great! Instant subscribe from me.
OMFG
ur
amazing!
my favourite music these days
Mario 2 is one of my favorite games, this track is one of my favorites from that game, and still this cover is maybe only in the top 10 I've heard from these guys.
Idk if that actually makes sense, but I feel it's a testament to these guys' abilities
The accordian player looks like a character from Bram Stokers Dracula. Excellent
Can't wait for the street performers at super mario world Japan play this music as we walk around the land
Love the sax!
Maximum Chill Achieved. Really brightens your day.
Can't tell you how frustrating a thing it is to be musically inclined and be listening to a cover of a song that you really know well, only for just a note or two to be just. Plain. Wrong. Not a big deal; at least it shouldn't be, you tell yourself. You try listening back. Maybe you misheard or it's a different version. Nope it's somehow more wrong now. Maybe if I hear it in context again, it'll be right? Go back 30 seconds or so, the part comes, and it's still wrong. No matter how hard you try, the song is ruined.
Thank god, this has never ONCE happened to me while listening to J-Music. It is truly amazing that they have such good ears for the music they are adapting. Hats off to them.
Thank you so much, this means a great deal to us!
Bro, you scared me there
Eric Bisson he scared me too lmao
Actually so true. Would basically never mention it, but it never happens with J-Music. Absolutely legendary group.
He had us in the first 3/4, not gonna lie
reali nice
Amazing as always! Hope you guys cover some Yuji Ohno next, would love to hear your take on Fire Treasure and the Lupin theme.
Mario 2, Dixieland style! I like it! 👍🖒
Good stuff cats!!
Love
My heart.
