Joystick Jazz Latest Release Now Available On Vinyl

Joystick Jazz

The latest release in the Joystick Jazz collection has been announced by iam8bit and is available right now from its website, and it’s a special one for Mario fans. While the previous two entries in the Joystick Jazz collection drew from a wider assortment of nostalgia-inducing video game soundtracks, one legendary franchise was notably absent. Now, we know that those jazzy geniuses were saving their interpretations for one mega-LP, packed with tunes from all over the series’ history, spanning Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and even spin-offs like Mario Kart 64.

 

In a press statement, iam8bit said. “Get ready to jump, bounce, and swing: The Blueshift Big Band is BACK! A triple jump here, a little dash there, a well-placed Koopa stomp, a slide all the way to the flagpole…The fast, frenetic platforming of the Super Mario Bros. series demands a ton of reaction, rhythm, and improvisation. There’s something undeniably jazz-like about the action, and the series’ legendary music embodies that same spirit.”

 

The vinyl’s release includes artwork from iam8bit’s award-winning friend Mark Borgions, high-quality black vinyl, and a bonus digital download of all the included music. Other recent releases from iam8bit include its Remedy collection and Rare’s 40th Anniversary album.
