- HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY, COWBOY BEBOP!! ❤
Our live cover of "Tank!" by Yoko Kanno, performed live at Liberty City Anime Con on August 19, 2018. Originally performed by The Seatbelts, and heard as the opening theme to Cowboy Bebop. This arrangement by Khrys Williams.
WOOO! It feels great to finally share this with you all! This is truly one of the greatest anime openings ever, and among the reasons why it stands the test of time, here's one: Jazz is timeless! You dig?
We apologize for the audio quality, but we just had to share this moment in whatever way possible from what may have been our favorite show up to this point (and our favorite LCAC show after 3 years here!). We hope to do more convention shows in the future! You all are our community, and we can't think of a better place to share all this otaku-jazz love than at a good ol' anime con! Much love and thanks from all of us to all of you, as always.

that saxophonist is having EXACTLY as much fun as he needs to be
jazz should be fun. itd be saddening if people playing jazz were not having fun even when the theme is sad and melancholic.
Thats sooo true
Nah, never enough fun
@@brandonlim3165 Nope, Cool jazz isn't fun. Jazz is Jazz. Fun or sad.
Lim Jia Shiang no he’s not having enough fun
Flagged for saxual content.
Lol this is the comment gold I go searching for when I scroll down.
Not like the bari sax from the 1993 version of Charles Mingus Moanin'
xCalligraph This cover is sexy as hell.
Yeah i think i just came holy shit
my pp hurt
"Why did he play the original solo instead of improvise?"
Because I felt like it?
Man came back 2 years later to justify himself. There's really no need; they'll just find something else to whine about.
itll sound amazing either way
Nailed it.
Legend
You felt fucking epic. How am I going to go back to work after that?
The saxophonist has a back up saxophone at his feet in case the one he's using is melted by his lit af solo
The sax at his feet is a tenor, the one he’s playing here is an alto
I can see why you're saying that but not quite lmao it's all good, the different saxes just have different tonal qualities, it's all based on the sound of the piece
do y'all know what a joke is
@@mathisbenard1318 fr lmao
@@kirin8735 First of all, it's a joke.
Second, the saxophone at his feet is a tenor (keyed in Bb) whereas the saxophone he's playing is an alto (keyed in Eb, a perfect fifth higher)
Shout outs to main man trumpet for giving his all , you can clearly see it on his face lmao
Dude, pretty sure its a high Ab at the end. My lead trumpet with a lead mouth piece struggles to hit that note sometimes and he's a trumpet god. You can't not play that note and not die. It's high like that the entire time too.
He knew knew he better not fuck up this legendary classic
Ye Rim Won the final note was a concert c (d on trumpet as it’s pitched in Bb), I believe the highest note he played throughout was a double g (concert f). Nonetheless, his playing sounds fantastic.
As a trumpet player, the "eyebrow raise" is code for "Aight here goes nothin."
I think I went to high school with that guy...
Shoutout to the hidden bassist, the bassline drives this song so fucking hard. Great bebop/ jazz bassist always carry the tune and this dude was like a fucking stallion
Him and the drummer were killing it
Facts
As a bassist currently playing tank! I 100% agree, its the heart of the song
Rhythm section represent!!
More like shout out to everyone
That guy killed that sax solo. 10/10
Erik!
Pat's always an s tier sax player
Woahh crazy seeing one of my favorite pianists here
patrick bartley
Yeah he killed that transcribed solo, alright, lol.
(this is the exact same solo, note for note, on the published version of this song)
everyones talking about how good the sax player is but that drummer is absolutely killing it
Under appreciated and usually forgotten yet one of the most important players
@@ilikelimes6648 facts
the drummers are the backbone of the band.
you might not notice them much, but they play an important role to the band
Same for the bass player, those guys are lowkey killin it
I think its the bass line that properly slaps
This is the /only/ cover I've seen that gets the 'scream' right on the sax. 1:50
That's the difference between amateur college bands into anime and professionally trained musicians that have practiced altissimo notes with a passion for Japanese music.
We're playing this for my highschool jazz band. Our alto sax player is freshman in college and man are his altissimo notes amazing but those notes are kinda crazy. The trumpet notes for trumpet 1 just as insane.
@@sandgaijin that and some jazz bands. Still, gotta love that sexy saxy. =w=
Ye Rim Won make sure to record it and post it.
Crowd goes wild
Finally. A saxophonist who grows a pair to play the og solo.
lol, i think at least in the environment i was learning jazz, it was frowned upon to play written solos. you were supposed to improvise and compose your own solo as you played it or people in the band gave you dirty looks
I agree with Everyone said my name was stupid so I changed it.
@@everyonesaidmynamewasstupi3713 Yea I can see what you mean with that. My teacher made us practice the written solos but they were pretty wack. The only 'written'* solo I have appreciated however was this one for it's complexity. *I do feel like Masato Honda improvised this when the studio recording of Tank! first came out.
Its jazz, you suppose to play your own,, not someone elses work
I had 8th grade beginning jazz. Don't ask.
"Dad, why is my sister named Rose?"
"Because your mother loved roses"

JAJAJASSAJA
Why is absolutely no one talking about the bass player. I mean this is one of the only versions i've seen where they use the bass guitar and it slaps. Credit to all my bass players out there
I actually dont think the bass player pulled through with this, theres a section I'm pretty sure he doesnt play right
eh, still gonna give credit to all my bass players
i'm pretty sure that's adam neely
@@explosiveturtle266 Adam Nealy is a talented player, and the part I'm referring to is at 2:40. Maybe he does play it right but it just sounds wrong, lol.
@@explosiveturtle266 that aint Adam Neely - he played with JME for the Sakura Matsuri in BBG 2019. Bassist in the video above is Brad Miller (@bradadammiller) - Electric Bass
(see description)
they managed to make this sound THIS good with only 7 members, when the original had dozens, you guys are amazing!
Nine. There are nine people there.
Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it'd actually be harder to keep it all together when there's more people.
@@Fristytoes You're right
Hence why you have conductors and such to keep the ensemble in time
But it's also harder to sound 'good' or 'full' with less members, so huge props to these guys for achieving that sound with their smaller group
@@Fristytoes Actually when you have more people you can make something sound more "full". If you have a choir of 20 people and 4 or 5 sing out of tune, it will create harmonics within the rest of the voices that will give a more vivid, "live" sound.
CaptainGrue there generally are not conductors in jazz music
as close to perfection humans can get
Wow, those are some extremely powerful words we are not worthy of. Thank you so much!
Synths could do better
as close to perfection a 'live performance' can get.
Not as good as this next settlement that needs your help!
@@JMUSICEnsembleOfficial you are definitely worthy of those words
3:20 bruh that's the money note...😵💕
Seen/heard too many people fuck up that part.
I don't mind guys improvising during their respective solo sections but the sax guy HAS to nail the said "money notes" at the end or throw the whole performance away.
And from all the live performances of this song I've seen, this is the only one that nails it
I'm not there yet and I know exactly what it's gonna be!
3:20 he hit it just like the original soundtrack in the Cowboy Bebop. Nicely done.
The solo is the same too
One of the best live versions I've heard of this song, loved the sax solo.
Thank you!
Gotta agree - I always wince when I see live versions go up - but you guys fuckin crushed it. Kudos especially to your drummer and the sax player who really nailed two very tough parts
@@JMUSICEnsembleOfficial what a good performance of one of my best anime series hopefully could play space lion ufff would be the best Greetings from Peru
The best one I've heard so far!
Clear and sooo precise. Indeed
This is the only cover of this song I've ever seen done right!
Thank you!! 🙏
True
@@JMUSICEnsembleOfficial You guys are the only ones who actually nailed the ending! Been searching for you for a couple of years. :D
Logan Searle was it not an upright bass? I’m pretty sure it was
A lot of other rush this song and don’t play it at the right tempo. The energy in this song is amazing
As an ex-trumpeter i can appreciate how fucking hard this song is on the lead player
No way the gman
1:48 The movement of the man in the red hat in the middle is perfect.
I still don't know how Masato-san can even THINK to play all that in that original solo, let alone play some of those phrases in one breath. Lungs of steel seriously 🙇😵

Enjoy.

DAMN! 😱 This is BAD! COLD BLOODED! I always loved T-Square, but THIS cut right here... I got even more shedding to do. Thank you for contributing to my daily dose of ass-kicking, sir. 😩
Want more ? I could go on for days with them. ;-)
Same bad guys, same bad event, but twice the amount of sax.

That's probably the highest note I've ever heard played on a saxophone.

*Any sax player that plays altissimo and has a sax higher than an alto would like to know your location.*
after watching several different live covers of this song, i realize that this cover performance is SUPERIOR
What? Seatbelts?!?
Mr. Personal-ity OH! I MEANT THE MOST SUPERIOR COVER LOL
It's the fact that you just feel that the band has ACTUALLY watched the anime🙌🏾especially the Sax Man! Because out of all sax solos that I've seen, this is the only one that manages to elevate the already awesome track to devine heights!
@@samuelmaingi6365 I'm sure Pat has watched the anime (at least once). You should watch his TwitchTV streams where fans suggest songs for hi to improvise over - it is SO good. Last night he conversed in Japanese with a Japanese fan because most of the fans in the chat are English speaking. Pat is a legend on sax.
i cant believe you actually did all the masato honda solo..
@@rafagxjunglezz still awesome tho or is it not?
@@rafagxjunglezz He didnt say he did it better... Chill the fuck out.
@@rafagxjunglezz no.. he performed the original solo.
@@Snavels ?? Thats not the improtant thing.. its about the player of the solo. And Masato is the real one
@@rafagxjunglezz yes... But he's performing a transcription of the original solo. Meaning he's performing note for note the original solo, not just copying the style. Copying the style would mean he would copy the growls and bends/falls of the original, but would be playing a different solo. But in this video, he's playing the original.
That lead trumpet player blows my mind. He’s killing it!
That shit was right down the middle.
u mean sax out of all we mainly here him
The fact that you hit EVERY. SINGLE NOTE. of the sax solo, like EXACTLY as it is in the original, is 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I watched another band play it, and yes, although the idea is to "freestyle" that part (which is what the other guy in the other band did), I can ESPECIALLY appreciate the original solo for that part, I feel like it sounds strange to do it any other way. So thanks for staying true to the original sound as it pertains to that part. 👍🏻
I feel like the only person who could outdo that solo, is the actual original soloist himself. I did watch an instance where he did it live and although it was not the original recorded freestyle, he somehow managed to make it even better than before.
The others who do this piece besides the band above will just lazily play the same riffs over and over and not really put effort into the freestyle part which is what makes it sound "wrong" when they do it or distateful. Gotta have a little soul to get it right. Otherwise, better to just stick to the original solo like these guys did. Im glad you guys did. 🙇🏽♀️
They change the pacing of the solo too much which really ruins the momentum of the piece
This comment right here is it!!!!! I feel exactly the same.
The notes were correct but he rushed slightly in the first few notes
Some notes are ghosted that where fully played in the original track. The original score didnt have the sax solo written out either
tbh this is how all band kids feel when they do a song good at a school concert
As a saxophonist in my school band I wish I could sound this good
Can confirm
Can confirm by a mile. During my first year in the middle school band I had the opportunity to play with the highschool marching band and although I did pretty bad for obvious reasons I enjoyed it a lot.
Our band recently got a standing ovation, not just by parents but even by students at our Christmas concert, I guess Christmas jazz just goes hard, but definitely felt like this, even if we didn’t sound like this guys!
That Sax player is an absolute Madman
How the hell didn't he faint?
Amazing, everyone was doing their parts with love. And of course, as everyone said, finally a Saxo that made the original part. As a musician, I know in the jazz environment this is something that might cause some controversy since its a common "thing" to expect an improvised solo, but I don't know man, this solo, in particular, feels like it NEEDS to be plaid note by note. Great work guys, truly amazing
So true.. the sax in Tank! is one of those precious few solos that don't get any more original than the original. Deviations inevitably feel like a cop-out and fall short of a true homage. Always great to find an artist who knows when to play it straight.
yeah the problem is everyone start trying to do an improvised solo, and they end up just playing up and down the standard scales, and it becomes meaningless. I'd rather hear the original
It's this solo that feels like... a guitar solo. It has the feeling of running the chords that is so full and so damn raw.
Actually I think it's pretty amazing he did it exactly as the original. It's a HARD solo. And one of those it's so iconic that when you hear a different take you're like "it's cool but it's not like the original".
They didn’t skip or improvise anything, or skip the few “lyrics” at the start. I love these guys.
Jesus that sax ending! Chills every single time, no matter how many times I hear it
Yeah man
EVERY
FUCKING
TIME
Love it. Great playing from the saxophonist, i love how he put his own inflections on the solo to really make it his but still nailed every bar note for note on the original.
Also, kinda relieved to hear that it sounds fine without full big band voicings, i'm making an arrangement of this for slimmed down big band (one of each instrument) and i didn't know whether it would sound good still or not.

Japanese composers :
Put the swag in Jazz
Put the melodic in Metal
Put the fantasies in classical
Put the twist in pop
andri marpaung lets not get ahead of our selves here
@@darius5592 you mean what?,...
@@togelz I fully agree with you that they put the fantasies in classical, there's no other words to say it.
I'm guessing Darius is trying to get at "Put the swag in Jazz
" or "Put the melodic in Metal".
I kinda agree with the melodic in metal, because of the number of musicians that play, incorporate Metal into the Japanese bluesy(?) melody,
but I would guess that metal fans wouldn't want to see it that way.
Swag into Jazz... from at least what I know there's not too many Jazz musicians to claim the swag in Jazz quote, although I agree that there are many Japanese music in many different genres that I feel that are heavily influenced by Jazz than the music we have in the western world especially in the modern era.
I dunno, that's just my view so...
Anyways, whether it be over or under exaggerated, I really like your quote.
@@nettoyante2074 hello there, the reason why i say about Japanese musician puts melodic in Metal because there are a bunch of Japanese metal band / singer which their music are so melodic, such as Jupiter, Unlucky Morpheus, Light Bringer, Tears of tragedy, Baby Metal etc compared to your usual american metal band with your usual open E power chords and / or minor pentatonic scale
and the reason why i say Japanese musician puts swag in jazz is because not only because the music is great, but also because through various medias like anime or game, they helps introduce / re-introduce jazz to younger generation and makes it cool for them, makes them want to learn it, i think that's happen not only in jazz, but also classical music as well, i won't surprised at all if a youngster says that he / she started to love Jazz because of Cowboy Bebob or Barracano and love claasical because of Shigatsu wa Kimi no uso (your lie in April)
@@togelz I personally agree with your comment on melodic in Metal, as I am a fan of Black Mages and the great game music that they create with the mix of metal, classical and fantasy. (Not so much of Baby Metal, I love the music, not so much the vocals and the young children dancing.) I think metal has evolved and has had a long lasting popularity within the Japanese music scene, so I really do agree with you. However, that being said, I do think that American and European Metal fans would be angry if we said that Japanese composers have put the melodic in metal, and that's all I wanted to say in the above comment.
In terms of Jazz, I think Japan still has a long way to go. So Yes, I agree that the Japanese composers incorporate Jazz and spread them in various medias that younger generations will learn to may be start to love Jazz from. But No, because from what I have seen, majority of the Japanese audience has Jazz, Ska and Bossa Nova confused.
(Jazz was very popular during my parent's generations, so I think the older generations are aware of the difference and are actually fans of Jazz, but in terms of the younger generations, we have a long way to go.)
There are new animes like Kemono Friends 1 and 2, which the music is composed by an artist who is Jazz influenced, so I'm sure many things are changing in the Japanese music scene on a daily basis. And hopefully one day, we can proudly say that Japanese composers have put the swag in Jazz, but at this point I would sadly have to disagree with you on that part.
I think you have the Japanese culture slightly confused, but in terms of classical music, Japanese children have far more knowledge of classical music than children in... let's say North America, because Europe is a whole another story when it comes to classical. But from what I have seen, Japanese people recognize and know the names of various classical compositions, when compared to North Americans.
Most Japanese children do not go into classical music through Anime, it's more from the education system and from after school programs.
(Piano ranks in the top 3 most popular after school learning for young children)
I'm certain that many children would be inspired and learn to love classical music from Animes like Shigatsu wa Kimi no uso, or Nodame Cantabile, but that's not really their entry point to classic music, as most children already have the basics down.
Anyways, I apologize for the long response, but I just want you to know that I do love your quote, I just can't fully agree with you on everything that you said.
Thanks
i feel like no one is giving the Trombone enough credit, guys damn good
toby is the man!
He is a bit too quiet tho
sax guy was havin the time of his life, dude was jumpin and reelin back a whole 90 degrees, mans livin
WHERE WERE THE BONGOS??!
They were there, the mic just barely picked em up
adelatuna casual bongos
That’s the only thing you can say in response to this majestic performance? For shame
Tbey turned into drums
so I just got this piece three days ago and my teacher said "man I havent played this in years" and he just shreds on the saxophone solo like it was nothing it was great
I’m guessing the crowning achievement of music to play on saxophone is this.
I love that you can hear the crowd all say "lets jam" along with him.
I've watched a few live covers of this masterpiece and you can tell these guys are fans. Other jazz musicians take the solo and make it their own which is cool. This guy, however, understood the importance of staying true to the original while flexing his sax muscles. Thanks for this guys...it made my year!
Ok, 3, 2, 1, LET'S JAM!
03:19 was waiting to hear this last part, nailed it.
This is arguably the best cover of Tank on CZcams
yikes, really?? That's a shame lmao
I just wanna say doing stacatto notes that high on a reed instrument, especially one like an alto sax where you rarely go that high to begin with, is fucking hard as hell. I wonder how many reeds he split doing that in practice.
That sounds like a terrifying way to get splinters in the mouth. Never heard of a single reed splitting from play before, I thought only double reeds like oboe and bassoon did that.
But anyway, from experience, the highest and lowest notes on alto sax can be really temperamental.
1:50 OH YEAH! Literally jumped with that. So cool.
I'd love to see some covers of Samurai Champloo's soundtrack - you'd kill it!!!
Especially would love to see shiki no uta.
@@ChronosVthousand Completely agree! Would totally rival my love for the Nujabes cover.
@@samnoodlethang Shiki no Uta is originally by Nujabes. I assume you're thinking of the JBird cover*. The title to that one says "(Nujabes cover)", but they mean that it's a cover of his song, not a cover by him. I could understand the confusion though, if you're not familiar with Nujabes.

I'll see you in 7 years when the youtube algorithm sends us back and this song is still the most slammin' anime theme OF ALL TIME

Best Tank! cover ever!!
mad respect for the drummer at the beginning for getting it perfect
You did it !! I wish I could be there to hear it live !!
Awesome, finally it's being covered by musicians who can really play it as it should. And you nailed the sax solo, as always.
nicodrums Thank you so much! We've been trying to get this one up for at least 4 years now lol 😃
The only allowed comment on here should be that this cover is absolutely exceptional. I've never heard the original saxophone solo of Masato Honda so closely covered and perfectly executed. Thank you to everyone involved in this ensemble, you guys are amazing.
After watching a lot of covers of this song, even the 2020 SEATBELTS official version, this guy 3:20 is the only one doing it exactly as the original =)!!!
Please come to San Japan out here in San Antonio!!! You guys are so epic!!! If you do ever decide, Tacos. Think about it. We have Tacos to give. This is our currency.
Luis Lopez You're toying with my DREAMS, Luis. 😭
Seriously, thanks!

I second this! I would go even though I was taking a break from cons until 2020 JUST for y’all!
Astounding. Made me cry. You can tell the love and delight each person has for the music and how they just BREATHE it.
Netflix kept Tank for the Cowboy Bebop intro… and it brought me back here. 💪🏽
literally the best version of this on CZcams and it seems to just be nerdy fan boys at some local con. awesome!
Coincidence I was just thinking about you guys making a cover of Tank! While in band class and I got the notification on my phone.

NOW THAT'S SOME GOOD SHIT! (I'm currently learning how to play it on bass, at least what can be played on bass)
Anything can be played on any instrument if you do it right
My fucking god what a beast.
Also all three trumpets and trombone sounded just like the original. Very professional
I've never been compelled to go to an Anime convention whatsoever, but man I would have given a kidney to see this live.
I really like how the sax player is so upbeat and dancing the entire time... He must have been having so much fun
a lot of live covers of this song but you can tell when theres real emotion and feelings put into it. great job!
Somebody call a judge cause they just did that song justice!
Now THAT'S probably the best sax I've had in a long time...was it good for you, too?
Seriously, this is a freakin' awesome performance. We need this kind of good stuff, especially these days.
I giggle so much when I see musicians like that sax player groove with their performance cause you know DAMN well they're not playing around when their body becomes one with their instrument!!!
F**kin' brilliant job, you all!
Loved it, the guitar was a nice addition that worked really well
so there's actually guitar in the original too! It's an acoustic and its mostly percussive ghost note strumming but you can hear it if you listen close in the right audio channel. It also doubles the bass part an octave up at the beginning.
Damn i got shivers down my back
You guys nailed it! The sax player nice solo and not fking up both screams at 1:50 and 3:20 this GOOD LIVE?!?!? YOU ARE A BEAST!!!

The end sax part was the nastiest thing I’ve ever seen.
Every single person on that stage is an incredible musician. It's a display of pure, unadulterated badassery.
This is the power of bebop on everyone. You can see how excited and much fun the band playing it is having, and the reaction the audience gives as soon as they hear what’s coming. Truly a great cover and song and anime series
Good Lort! Maybe one of the best Tank covers yet. Tank covers are "a thing" for me and I've seen a TON of them. This crew is really among the best. That sax solo is wanted for murder. Top freaking shelf!
Guys, y’all slayed it! I have seen a lot of vids and heard a lot of bands cover this tune, but a lot of them lack the energy and vibe of the original. You guys nailed that aspect 10/10 dead on! Drummer and bassist, that pocket was so tight it would have squeezed two dimes and a nickel out of a quarter!😂
And Pat, I wish I could shake your hand after that solo! Covering Masato’s solo from the OST note for note; absolutely brilliant! The shear amount of energy you gave it made it just that much better.
Big kudos guys! Always keeping my eyes and ears open for more!
The electric bass adds a crunch to the sound that I am digging a huge amount
That solo was not easy to imitate and he got it spot on. That's alot of determination right there!
Love the horns on this. Right on the spot! Just missing a sprinkle of bongos. But damn well perfect sax. 🤘
Didn’t realize they were missing bongos until you said this but yes, that would’ve been a great addition and made this cover truly exceptional.

dad, what was your favourite kind of music when you were a kid?
well, son, they had a little show called cowboy bebop, and the opening song for it was amazing. what was even more amazing was how a ban called J- music played the song live and absolutely KILLED it. The effort shown and the passion they all had made this one of my favourite songs when I was a kid.
This is one of the greatest comments we've ever seen. Thank you for this, Antoni. We hope you and your future son continue to live on the J-MUSIC dream ❤
@@JMUSICEnsembleOfficial Thanks for responding, and I hope you all keep making these wonderful renditions and your own songs as well
THAT GUY ON SAX BRINGS ALL THE GOOD VIBES. I can't stop replaying that solo!
I'm a simple man
When I see anything about cowboy bebop. I watch it
imagine hitting the hardest solo of your life and then you hit those altissimo notes at the end. if that were me id be so gassed after that
Major props to everyone but especially the sax for nailing it better than everyone else, and also to that front trumpets who is certainly giving 120% for this performance
Everyone on that stage seemed to pour their very hearts and souls into this cover.
how can a group of people manage to sound like an entire orchestra I have no idea but I love every single bit of it
I got chills from this. The energy is unbelievable!
This had me smilling ear to ear like a goofball the whole way through. That was amazing from start to finish and the sax player absolutely nailed the ending. Perfect 10/10!
Wow that trumpet player was so good! Obviously everyone but damn clean fills man
It’s amazing how 10 notes can bring so much joy
Honestly? Honestly?
Better than the original studio recording for the anime.
I generally dislike live renditions of anything over studio recordings. But this one blew me away. You did a great job guys!
That's a hefty comment, thank you for thinking that! Of course, all hail Yoko Kanno for even providing our community with a vehicle to make this experience possible!
Freaking nailed the tone on that final alto sax staccato section at the end!
