Get Jazzy with the Game Music Covers of "Press Start"
8-Bit Jazz Heroes releases 10 tracks of Mario, Zelda, and more.
When you're looking to chill out with some music, the last tunes you're likely to think of are platformer themes or the eternal Tetris earworm. But in the hands of California jazz duo 8-Bit Jazz Heroes, your favorite themes have turned into a relaxing soundtrack for a night in.
Press Start is the duo's debut album, released through OverClocked Records. Adam Bellotto and Robby Delosier have rearranged ten fan-favorite tracks for guitar and upright bass, bringing game music a West Coast jazz feel.
Check out the track list:
06. Falling Blocks (Type A from Tetris)
The duo enjoyed taking the traditionally upbeat music and mellowing it out for the album. The pair have more than 40 years of music experience between them, having performed individually at the Kennedy Center, the Supper Club, the Arsenio Hall Show, and more.
