There's a lot of memorable video game music, but if most of us had to make a list of our top five favorite tunes, there's a good chance a song from a classic Nintendo game would wind up on there. As much as I love those classic tunes, Super Mario Odyssey made me wonder how some of those songs would sound if they were a bit jazzier. Luckily the 8-Bit Jazz Heroes, a California jazz duo, recently released Press Start, an album full of mellow jazz covers of some classic Nintendo songs.
Composed of Adam Bellotto and Robby Delosier, the 8-Bit Jazz Heroes give songs like the theme from Super Mario Bros. and the Lost Woods theme from Ocarina of Time a more laid back, low tempo energy. It's a refreshing take on songs we all know by heart and a perfect soundtrack for the holiday season.
You can listen to and purchase Press Start over on OverClocked Records' website, Spotify, iTunes, and Bandcamp.
