Song of Storms - Big Band Jazz version ft. Patrick Bartley (The 8-Bit Big Band)

The incredible Patrick Bartley is featured in this modal hard bop Jazz inspired arrangement from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Patrick is one of the most incredible alto sax players I've had the pleasure of meeting, also a champion of video game music, he also sometimes does a rendition of this classic video game music tune in his live performances which inspired me to create this version to showcase his ability!

The keen Jazz fan might be able to pick out some post bop inspired references in the arrangement such as: So What, Impressions, Joshua, and Yes and No. Hope you enjoy!

[IronPineapple]

fantastic, new favorite from you guys

[owentimmerman]

Whenever I see something along the lines of “ft. Patrick Bartley” I know whatever it is I’m about to listen to is going to be straight heat 🔥

[rakeroll]

Special props to Jared on drums. Every time I thought it couldn't get crazier, it did. That duo with the sax was insane!

[samoftheam]

Woooo that drums/sax solo break at 2:47 is so good!! Incredible modal textures here!

[aidancardona]

Man this really left an impression on me

[Meepston]

went from being blown away by this arrangement at magfest to this normal release and finding out that y'all featured PATRICK BARTLEY ON THIS ONE???? OH BRO, I'M SO READY FOR THIS NEXT ALBUM

[Dopesaur]

My favourite on the band has always been the drummer. Every time Jared is on screen hes just Vibin more than anyone ever.

[BrentDiskin]

Absolutely phenomenal. The rock-solid bop on this one coupled with Patrick's freeform flight is truly the song for my winter. Hell, almost getting a little Herrmann vibe from the whole production.

[treylehman]

The motifs from Impressions is the icing on top

[FPET]

so late to the party, but glad I saw it now! amazing performance by the whole band, can't get enough of this!!

[DemLottBoyz]

It's like Zelda in the Cobow Bebop universe.

[werxandxiii]

As a sax player, I always love seeing the sax features. Love the song, always happy when a new 8-bit song comes out

[theGameBrass]

This combination reigns supreme! (or perhaps "rains" supreme).

Very smooth arrangement, and incredible soloing Pat!

[drew]

This song so good my entire living room flooded from a magical rain 👍

[Tsunakumura]

At 1:42 it suddenly turns into Kind of Blue - absolutely brilliant writing :D

[extraful]

8BBB + Patrick is just as good as I'd hoped it would be.

[koko]

YESSS 8-Bit-BB + Pat is such a great combo... both are recently in my most listened artists 🔥

[Ziggyiggy]

Pat Bartley is an absolute beast. awesome arrangement

[rickxhoshinji]

Song of Storms was already such a memorable tune, but a hard bop jazz version added an amazing new take.

[jorymil]

Just noticed the faint video overlay of rain. Cool trick!
