Someone turned the Ocarina of Time soundtrack into a perfect Zelda jazz album
Last year, musician and video essayist Adam Neely published a fascinating look at what he dubbed “the Nintendo-fication of jazz,” a phenomenon that has seen jazz bands of all stripes, but particularly big bands, increasingly playing arrangements of the fast, frantic music from games like Mario Kart to sold-out audiences. Neely goes into lots of reasons (musicological and otherwise) why this is happening — it’s well worth a watch.
