I have wanted to arrange this theme for so long. As a child, I was a huge fan of Thomas the Tank Engine. I used to have "train conventions" with my dad every night where we'd line up all my Thomas the Tank Engine toys on the floor of my bedroom, and my dad would make up funny voices for each train and just talk about what happened that day! It's one of my fondest memories of childhood.
This theme was a big part of my childhood as well. I had a lot of Thomas episodes on VHS, and I don't think I knew how to fast-forward past the intro theme, so I definitely recall listening to this song many times as a kid! It's so cool to see music from my childhood being celebrated to this day. This tune is actually really really harmonically interesting - it's not quite as simple as you'd expect. There's a good amount of sudden modulations, which keep the song interesting and lend themselves very well to a jazz arrangement in my style!
I'm very fortunate to have access to a good alto saxophone now (thanks, Sab!), so you'll be seeing some alto parts on a few more videos of mine in the future. It was a lot of fun to arrange for the full AATTB saxophone section and experiment with different types of voicings!
(Also, if anyone noticed that I don't have a reed on in some of the shots in the video, I had to re-shoot some shots for this song in my apartment! Noise rules are strict, so I didn't put a reed on in an effort to keep it down. It's 100% my playing though!)

This is such a great version - love it.
You know I've always said that the Thomas theme was actually one of the better themes of kids TV in terms of composition. It's ridiculously chromatic yet sounds completely normal - the notes go ALL over the damn place, and somehow remains catchy. Perfectly suited to jazz. You rocked it. The fat controller laughed. Gordon was cross.

Anyone else get a Mario Kart vibe from this in a weird sort of way?
who else is here again after watching Charles Cornell?
This notification confused me about as much as piranha plant in smash
This legendâs still liking posts even though this was posted close to 1 year ago the absolute chad.
When I watched the show as a kid, it made me think that âunreliableâ was a huge insult. So you can imagine how seriously my parents took me after calling them unreliable for not letting me go outside if it was too hot
me and my friends played this for our school talent show, everyone loved it. thank you
choo choo.
Made the theme tune even better AND managed to get "Take The A Train" in there. I really appreciate this.
"You cant make Thomas's theme sound good" The man said.
No one has mentioned the âEntry of the Gladiatorâ theme (âcircus musicâ) quote at
Holy jesus.
So what's next? "You're A Mean One, Mr Grinch"?
Why does this give me late-night talkshow vibes??
The first thing I think of when I hear "Thomas The Tank Engine" and "Jazz" is somehow being able to work "Tank!" by The Seatbelts (the incredible hot Jazz theme to the Anime Cowboy Bebop) into the mix somewhere, and while this didn't happen, I greatly appreciate you incorporating "Take The A-Train" in either way ;) :D <3
