"Marble Zone" (Sonic The Hedgehog) LIVE Jazz Cover // J-MUSIC Pocket Band

- Our live cover of "Marble Zone" from Sonic The Hedgehog (Genesis/Mega Drive), originally composed by Masato Nakamura. This arrangement by Patrick Bartley.
Yes! We happy to finally upload this one here for you all! Now, we've been playing this tune for a while now (it's also available for free on our 1st demo), actually, so at this point it's like a standard to us. This has been played in so many ways over the past 4+ years that it's hard to know what the actual definitive version is. But fun fact, this tune has actually been played in multiple countries now, as Pat has taken this arrangement overseas to play in many different situations (including at two different high security UN private events - yes, we can officially say that people like Nikki Haley and Henry Kissinger have listened to at least 30 minutes of video game music and didn't know it. We'd say that's a big resume booster). Okay, we know nothing has been said about the actual song yet, but that was an important anecdote! This song is special because after running through 3 acts of Green Hill Zone at Sanic speed, you're now immediately forced to give pause and delve into the lava-filled ruins of the Marble Zone... for better or for worse, you decide. Either way, we're now given this beautiful Latin-influenced melody over a simple yet popping 4-on-the-floor groove between the bass and drums, and it makes for the perfect mood changer in this new space. Every solo is a delight here, with Pat starting right off the bat with an engaging and interactive sax solo, reflective guitar sounds by Olin, and bringing the house down to the low end is Wallace on bass.
... Got any other special dignitaries that'd you'd like us to expose video game music to?

Oh yeah
It's such a strange sense of relaxation, nostalgia, and perpetual anxiety. Thank you.
I completely understand. There is relaxation when I close my eyes, nostalgia when I hear parts I recognised and perpetual anxiety when there are added parts.
This is the coolest shit i've ever seen.
I know right
100% - this band is so good. You might also appreciate these boys if you are not already a fan: ua-cam.com/users/TheConsoulsBandvideos
From the trumpet's opening notes, I thought they were going to play 'Music to Watch Girls By'! But instead of swinging 60s we got some really cool jazz.
It's like a siivagunner rip: the first few notes sound normal, but then it goes in a completely different direction.
Amazing cover!! This song is criminally underrated
True
Sonic 1 on genesis was my first game ever. I’m so happy to see the music from this game still get some love.
Bass guy is KILLING it!!! ❤
In 100 years this will still be a thing… kudos. Criminally underviewed.
i like that even the band is impressed with themselves! one of my faves for sure
Gotta hype your bros up 🔥
This played in the school cafeteria today. Dunno why but I’m glad it did.
I want a cafeteria that plays jazz!
i love how different your solo is here compared to that of the chrono trigger covers. really going sanic speed
That has to be the smoothest opening and ending to any song I've ever heard. 100/10 cover man
Mario and Sonic in the same jam? Now _this_ is the most ambitious crossover in history.
God I love everything about this
i love this sooooooooooooooo much
That saxophonist be gettin busy!
Seriously underrated. This cover was exactly what I was looking for when I wanted a cover of Marble Zone
This my favorite song on sonic 1
Fantastic, gentlemen! Gotta get some Aquatic Ambience rolling!
try this ua-cam.com/video/AcyzljYGgRg/v-deo.html
Vocês são maravilhosos.Congratulations!❤
Completely amazing
God D*** that sax solo SON. Everyone here is soooo good
Kissinger and Haley didn't know what hit 'em!
You guys got Talent that God gave you all. I Love all the music y'all play
Practice... time... sacrifice. That is what they “got”.
Nice, I was just talking to a friend about this song yesterday.
Google is listening well
My sons play Sonic and they love this music. Excellent arrangement and so well played.
Thanks!
i really wish i could pay you to play my wedding. all jazz sonic music the entire time. nobody will know other than those who know. awesome!
Man I hope these guys play at your wedding
The saxophonist snapped 💯
After the Green Hill Zone allowed you to speed right through it almost continuously, this Zone made you have to slow it down a bit and be more methodical.
Saxophonist rocks! Gotta keep up on my own horn...
A bass solo on a stand up bass. Impressive!!
Whoooweee that sax solo kills! Everything is great, but dayum!
This goes in! This acoustic series is absolutely amazing.
The smoothest cupid shuffle
Always loved how smooth this song was
There is a song called "Music To Watch Girls By", pretty sure that was SEGA's motivation for Marble Zone's theme
And Blade Runner was probably their inspiration for Scrap Brain Zone.
If Sonic rips of Kirby and makes the Sonic Café:
This is hands down fucking incredible. Excellent job guys
this song!!!!!
Saxophone guy 😊 holy fraaaaowwww. Forget it. I'm stumped. In- fckink-credible. Whaaa
You guys are so good.
Hoping “Mystic Cave Zone” is next
Also this is amazing as usual
Would be great for October
greedy
Pat calling you a beast would be way to nice to put into words how insane you are on the sax.
OMG, I loved those OSTs of the games and found them online and had them in my playlists, you guys took those masterpieces and have done masterpiece-ful work on them. You legends, love and respect ya'llll....
Thats is awasome!!!!
Probably the only YT channel I actually wanted to turn the bell notification on for.
Now I wanna hear a cover of 'Spring Yard Zone' from you guys. It's jumpy feel would play well with your style.
This was my favorite zone as a kid, so this song is super nostalgic for me. Good stuff 👌
I didn't know I needed this.
Wonderful
This is one of my fav Sonic songs ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed this a lot ! Thanks .
If i heard this out in the world it would destroy me because it would be so familiar but I know I wouldn't be able to place it.
What a solo, Patrick! Amazing... Cannonball lives
This is such a great band! Glad I found it, you guys are all talented!
Love the addition of the vibes in there! It is really refreshing.
This is insane. For real.
It's such a fabulous arrangement! Who cares if the vibraphone player is dressed like Mario, even though it's a Sonic song?
Awesome!
I love, Love, LOVE that such talented people are putting their heart and soul into the video game music I love. What a time to be alive! :D
That escalated quickly! Thumbs up guys!
Pardon my french, but this is fucking amazing
fantastic as always! i always liked Marble Zone, it made sure you understood patience and precision with Sonic to use as tools for faster levels.
