Pokémon DPPt Poké Mart Jazz Arrangement

The best version of the Poké Mart theme in any Pokémon game ever, don't @ me

There was no way I was doing a big SInnoh project without giving some love to the best rendition of the Poké Mart theme! Originally, I had planned to do this arrangement as a long, full jazz combo arrangement... but ended up having to trim some of the arrangement due to time constraints on the physical CDs for Sinnohvation! Honestly, I think the arrangement sounds better that way haha; this song is a bop, but it doesn't need to go on for like... 7 minutes! This particular arrangement was inspired by "Jig a Jug", a tune played by Joshua Redman on his Live at the Village Vanguard record. I had to transcribe his solo on that recording for one of my classes at Berklee, and I fell in love with the groove and the Db blues two feel! While this tune isn't strictly a blues, it's sort of close to one, so it pays homage in that little way. Hope you dig!

♫ "Poké Mart" from "Pokémon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum" composed by Junichi Masuda & Go Ichinose

"Hello, shoppers! While you're finding whatever it is you may need, enjoy the jazz stylings of the Sinnohvation Quartet, featuring Carlos, Carlos, Carlos, and... Carlos! Take it away, boys!"

this man really typed 'ultra balls' into amazon with no hesitation

[Insert.Oregano]

I was going to skip because I already heard it on Sinnohvation, but then I remembered that the video part is usually pretty neat to see
Was not disappointed, very funny

[SuperUnknownPerson]

i’m so glad they remixed this theme in gen 5 for one location

[tomasadam]

This is definitely a great touch, breaking away from the instrument footage into a skit, makes the arrangement sound a lot more whimsical and fun!

Posted 3 minutes ago? Last time I was this early they weren't even selling Great Balls!

[MikelDPikel]

Wow! Carlos even bought 3 other Carlos' to perform this amazing jazz cover!

Super Smash Bros Ultimate: biggest gaming crossover in history

Carlos: hold my beer

[RoPanuganti]

I'm in love with this kick you're on. Not the Sinnoh one, the final Sinnoh track video goofs.

*me- proceeding to play this at every party from now on because it sounds like something you would hear at a fancy restaurant in the city:

[adrrian]

This is hilarious and I love it dearly. I can't believe I was able to watch Carlos, Insaneintherain, Carl, and Rainintheinsane all doing a collab!

[canadianquarter]

The fact that none of these have received take downs from Nintendo must mean only one thing... Sinnoh remakes with these songs as the soundtrack

[LetsDoRedstone]

Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up for the Carlos Big Band!
On the Keys: Carlos!
Playing the base: Carlos!
Hitting the drums: Carlos!
And saxing up the studio: Mr. Carlos Eiene!

This is the one time a honey sponsorship would have been genius.

[rath_relic]

You know it’s gonna be good when you see the Carlos Quartet.

[sickboy]

This is my goddamn favorite Sinnoh's jazz theme. Thanks for making it. Greetings and bless from Colombia

[Andrew-hvqq]

I want to study for my finals while listening to this, but it's too sexy. I can't focus on anything else. Guess I'll fail. Totally worth it!


Amazing job as always!

[orangeleaf]

One of my favorite songs in the game, not only being covered by the Jazz leader himself but also with a funny sketch!
What a deal!

[CricketNationGA]

Carlos On Drums: 100% Phenomenal Job
