- A spicy swing version of the classic video game music tune "Gourmet Race" from Kirby Super Star! One of my all time favorite tunes from the Kirby franchise with a burning tenor sax solo by Sam Dillon!
Also just so we all know, this was recorded well over a year ago so no need to have safety concerns!

I swear 8BBB is one of the hidden gems of CZcams. I don’t know how this channel hasn’t absolutely exploded yet. Yet another amazing performance!
I know its criminal there not at half a million subs yet
Thanks for helping us get there!!
Playing Super Mario 3D World made me curious about other traditional band renditions of videogame music, that's what caused me to find the channel. There's really nothing else like these guys on CZcams.
@@GoldStorm07 For me 8BBB and Insaneintherain are the definitive CZcams authorities when it comes to VGM jazz arrangements
Agreed, the amount of arranging, playing, organising and mixing effort is off the charts.
Man, I always knew Kirby sucked, but I never knew he could blow changes like that! Nice one as always :)
Well,he can blow hard enough to produce a gust of wind powerful enough to take a physical form and kill people
He had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
well kirby can swallow
8-BBB arrangements are absolutely stunning but for a different take on it, I can't go past The Consouls' version of Gourmet Race. (I'm a sucker for Gamra's bowing!)
How can he blow for that long
1:35 this is the part where kirby ate the sax player and got his power of playing the saxophone
My boy spittin’ straight funny
Jazz Kirby, complete with a mini fedora
The part where they revert to the original rhythm, man so necessary, respectful, brilliant, smooth, joyful.
2:41 This part sounds like the Fountain of Dreams version from Smash Bros. Melee, great callback if that was the intention.
In the drum intro I checked if I had accidentally set the video playback speed 1.25. I had not, and you kept the tempo going, with an energy that just blew me away for two and a half minutes, right till the smooth section, without sounding like you were struggling. Just shows how technically proficient everyone is.
Brilliant arrangement, too!
Definitely putting the band to work on this tempo!! Thanks for listening
its pretty special at 1.25x times speed...
Thought the same thing!
@@The8BitBigBand what's the marked tempo
coming back to this it's around 160, found it on a transcription of sam dillons amazing tenor solo
Always peak content from you guys, this arrangement is so colorful!
YOO ITS ALEX
Indeed it is
Alex, you are everywhere! ❤️
Yo my boi Alex is here
Hello my king
1:25 Omg
When the little Waddle Doo says there's 1 minute remaining, that's actually 60 seconds away from when Kirby and Dedede present their food
The bassist keeping pace with the sax solo gets me so hype dude idk what it is. You all are so talented!
The fact that this was animated to an actual cook off makes this song slap twice as hard, and everything is on cue. Wonderfully done! My compliments to the conductor and the music players!
Songs I would love to hear in a potential Album 4:
Life Will Change - Persona 5
You Will Know Our Names - Xenoblade
King Dedede’s Theme - Kirby
Super Bell Hill - Super Mario 3D World
Flying Battery Zone - Sonic and Knuckles
Carnival Kerfluffle - Cuphead
You guys are so amazing and I love all of your covers! Thank you for blessing this world with your wonderful video game big band jazz!
A couple of these tracks are already on my maybe list so you have good taste!
When you forgot to eat all day and you wake up for a midnight snack
Came for the music, stayed for Kirby playing the Saxophone
You guys never disappoint, and I mean NEVER
FACTS
I wanted 1 to2 oatmeal sung over this
I love how the animator chose to change it from an eating contest / race to _a cooking contest!_ It just fits for some reason! 😁
Also love how, after Kirby wins, he does a victory dance and flies away on a warpstar, exactly like he does at the end of most levels. 😆
I discovered "1, 2, Oatmeal" a couple of weeks ago, and I halfway expected this to be another remix.
This is a great arrangement! I guess you could say "What a triumph is thaaaaaaat!"
Kirbeh issa pi ink guy
@@selfloathinggameing wohn twoo oh hoat meal becus he is vereh ceuuuuuuute
WOAH! Talk about SUPER!!!
This is one of my FAVORITES from Backwards Compatible! Not to mention seeing the addition of some SUPERB VISUALS is (pun 100% intended) being the cherry on top!!
Thank you 8BBB (and Kirby) for brightening up the air with some much needed groovy as all heck tunes, ESPECIALLY in these groggy times!!!!
We need all the serotonin we can get nowadays. THANKS A TON 8BBB!!!
2:33 DEDEDE!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO KINE YOU MONSTER 😱😱😱
THE BASS PLAYER IS FRICKIN INSANE OMGGG
Yep, I can totally see why Joey Alexander chose to play with him.
Love the music, adore the animation, the amount of professionalism and effort you put into your remixes and videos never ceases to amaze me, more people NEED to see you guys you’re phenomenal!
I'm in awe of this bad ass arrangement
I find all the 8-BBB arrangements absolutely awesome! For a contrasting style, you might like this: czcams.com/video/oYPO3XTEb0M/video.html
Soooo coooool!! I love this arrangement. And also love your collaboration of your music and animation. Waddle Doo😍
2:59 I love how king Dedede just falls over when Kirby is chosen. Also, the music is *AMAZING*
Your upright bass player looks a little stressed out in the solo part ^^
But amazing solo. I've expected nothing less ^^
Got that bass player working HARD
@@The8BitBigBand For once, the bass clef gets a chance to go faster than a snail's pace
Yeay go fellow basses
Looks like he's transcending 😮
Holy cow, that sax section never ceases to amaze. Absolutely wonderful
I really love the animation at the bottom it's so cute!
This knocked my socks off when I first listened to it on the album...such a unique rendition of a timeless VGM theme! Honestly feels like one of the best arrangements you guys have done! I stinkin' love how it randomly becomes a mariachi band and then a heavy swing band within the same 10 seconds
Every single video you guys upload is a treat for both the eyes and ears. Awesome tunes and funny animation!
I can't get enough of you guys.
The arrangements, the sprite animations... it's all top notch!
This is just a pure joy.
No funny Kirb joke, just a thank you.
thank YOU!
Aersome! Sounds a bit like a chase scene in a swinging mob flick.
1:43 the solo reminds me a bit of the mario kart lick
"Eins, zwei, Haferbrei. Kirby ist ein rosa Kerl." - Hab ich recht?!
Shoutouts to Simpleflips
My band director just gave me this sheet music. I play tenor. You can imagine my pain.
Sounds amazing :D
(Animation is really cool as well, especially the mashing of meat to the beat).
the animation in this one is such a good visual pun
The best thing about 8-BBB animations is that they are always in time. Absolutely amazing stuff.
I like how the pixel animations kind of sync up with the music
These videos are absolute gold in so many ways!
finally, I can feel sophisticated while listening to Kirby music. Excellent cover!!!
Maybe also here: czcams.com/video/oYPO3XTEb0M/video.html
Somebody give that sax solo man a raise, please
At long last the full version is finally here! I couldn’t be happier 😁
I still can't believe 8-bit big band can both have such great production value yet barely get the views they deserve for it
Had this beat stuck in my head, couldn't remember what it was from and this is the suggestion youtube gave. Kinda feel it's better than the original
I saw that y’all were covering Gourmet Race and I just HAD to click it!
this channel is so underrated it is criminal.
This is the best arrangement of the Kirby music ever!
NAAHHHH... That solo break goes HARD bro
What a kick ass arrangement. Every time I click on one of these videos I'm always so happy with how you guys sound. Y'all sound immaculate.
The animations are always as beautiful as the music.
I'm not usually a big fan of jazz, but you guys are the main exception. I don't know how you do it, but lots of your videos bring me to tears because of how beautiful they are. There's definitely something different about your arrangements, but I can't put my finger on it, and I wish I could.
Seriously this is amazing. Rosen never disappoints!
“1, 2, OATMEAL” has ruined this song for me in the best way
same can't unhear "kirby is so cuuute"
世界で一番オシャレなグルメレースありがとうございます！
This is if Kirby was in Cuphead
these guys cooked up a tasty jam that is for sure!
THIS COVER CONTAINS WIN
Amazing. I like that a nerd developed the skill of composing to make these amazing arrangements with talented musicians. Thank you all cause you guys rock.
Having Kirby and King Dedede do a cook off is amazing
One of my favorite Nintendo songs of all time, and you all killed it! Great stuff. Thanks so much for all you do! ♥️
I like how Dedede's cuts seem lower and rougher than kirby's more sophisticated areas, kinda reflecting their cooking!
It just isn't fair how underrated these guys are man
ONE, TWO, OOAATMEAL
Hands down my favourite cover you all have done. I'm in love with the standing bass, the sax solo, especially the tempo changes! It's so much fun to listen to. I can't imagine all of the hard work everyone had put in.
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! I have waited soooo long for this!!!!!! I literally had a huge smile on my face the entire time!!!!! This is BY FAR one of the most jazziest music pieces you have ever done and I AM HERE FOR IT!!!!!! Please never stop what you’re doing, cuz it is inspiring and amazing!!!!!!!!!
I was literally listening to music and came across this amazing channel.I hope that soon everyone knows this channel as it's absolutely amazing!!
I came late to this channel because The Consouls covered Birdman and I was looking for the OST and found the 8-BBB version - best accidental find ever!
Love how King Dedede using the meat tenderizing hammer is synced to the music
Wow the drummer is on 🔥! Such precision! I mean the rest of band is also amazing! Wow goosebumps!!!
1:35 the most crazy solo ive seen in a while
I just listened to John Coltrane's "Countdown" and the sax solo reminded me of the one here.
Wonderful arrangement, masterfully done, and amazing artwork! Personally, I don't care for the solo, though I can see that the soloist is clearly talented--it just doesn't seem to be playing an actual intended melody that complements the song, at least not to my ear. I'd love to hear the arrangement without the solo break, if only for those of us who aren't as jazz-savvy as the rest of your audience. I've always loved this group's music and their passion for it. Keep up the amazing work!
The music is incredible as always, but I love how you took the time to add animations along with it to tell a story with the song! That's truly wonderful!
We have been blessed once again from the music maestros! What a fantastic arrangement of a Kirby classic.
Never played the game; yet this is my favorite song from that game.
Dream land on ssbm for me. Played on that level so much.
Maybe its the brass but this remix feels like the answer to the question: What would it sound like if Kirby did a cross-over appearance in Cowboy Bebop?
See you Space Kirby!
Bang! 😂❤👍
Can we talk about how this cooking contest is judged entirety on plating and visual appeal? The judge doesn't even have a mouth!!
I can't even describe the smile this put on my face
what a triumph isssaaaaaaaaat
Never heard a bad cover on this channel. and I think nearly every single one you've done is in contention for being better than the original
I just wish their mixing engineer didn’t hate Brass so much, or knew how to mix them better.
Every recording this band does that ive heard suffers from the same issues: the brass (trumpets especially) get massively drowned out by the woodwinds, and end up sounding really wimpy.
O my god yeah boy
I've been waiting for this
I heard the cymbals in the beginning, and said out loud,
“I love this already”
Amazing, the solo reminds me of Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts. I know it's not a video game, but I'd love to hear your guy's take on "Real Folk Blues" every video I've watched has been amazing!
A cowboy bebop fan in the wild! I really like rush, personally
damn that bass player is going at it
pov: kirby's on a heist
You guys are playing some of my favorite songs and I could not be happier. This is such a wonderful take on it and it's just-
I love it so much, thank you!
I found 8-BBB because of a Birdman cover by The Consouls who also play a lot of VGM favourites. A very good find indeed!
I love your music guys! Always brings a smile to my face to listen to the music y’all dish out.
My my, how I would love to play in a group like this again, makes me miss high school jazz every video! Not that we were ever this good of course, haha, great work all 😊
as always, brings back some old time memories and thank you guys :) keep up the good work everyone
Y’all went off!!! Loved the multiple styles of jazz in one setting.
Good lord. The smoothness of the texture.... This is incredible.
A classic Kirby track done in the Roaring 20s styled jazz sounds so sick and epic! Great job on the cover!
Damn! Some type of action/spy thriller music.
This deserves MUCH more views
Fucking brilliant!
Stunning performance as always! You guys really did this classic tune justice.
It's My birthday today and I have been waiting so long for this Cover Thank You 8-Bit Big Band for this :)
Excellent editing. Highlights of the bass + adorable pink guy dancing
This is awesome guys, and whoever did the animation did just as amazing
amazing solo. bass player killin it too
I'm glad Kirby won the cooking competition.
Woooo that drummer bassist and sax were coooooookin
Sam Dillon its a monster on the saxophone
