Joe Redifer Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Super Mario Bros. 'Jazz Plumber Trio' Jazz, when done right, is awesome. This is pretty darn close especially when you consider all of the instruments are fake. They sound great! This song jams. Lots of cool piano on top of the loose snare drums. Lots of great jazz elements help ensure this to be a must download. djp definitely likes jazz and it shows. Nuttin' wrong wit dat I tell ya!

MB Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 oh, man, that was sweet. 'ts gotta finger-snappin' head-noddin' groove to it that just leaves you feeling fresh and happy when the song is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mDuo13 Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Wow. I'm not really into jazz, but when it's done right, like this one, it's INCREDIBLE. Very real-sounding... It seems to fill the room with piano and flute that expand quite a bit (and never badly) on the Mario Bros theme. You might not like it, but I can't help but love it.

Jarrid Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Haha, this is cool. I really enjoy this piece..one of your fun tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I really like this song, it's a great swingin' feel, and an excellent arrangement. You really grasped the feel with this. With the flute though, it sounded more like a quartet o.O. Anyway, the only criticizm I have was that I though the drums sounded too busy at times. I loved your perception on the themes from 1-1 and 1-2, though, quite good indeed! =D Edit- I just thought of this. Last night, there was an all day playing thing at my school to raise money for a charity. So my friend and I were playing the mario theme (me on vibes, him on bass). At the underworld theme at the fast part, I knew I couldn't play it. So I just went into a heavy blues and we just jammed. It was great =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Heart Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 very nice...considering that you improvised many parts of this...wow, and I'll say it again...wow! Improvising something like this is a hard and painful job but you did a nice job on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassivePretentiousness Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 DJP did a fine job with this, though it isn't spectacular for his standards. It's one of the better SMB remixes, so I'd recommend it to almost anyone. However, I do have issues with the changes to the melodies he made. Even if he had to make them given the tools he had, I wouldn't ever call them an "improvement". That isn't to say I didn't enjoy it either tho... hmm... 5/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 this has to be my favorite song so far on the site.. wow. i LOVE it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Of mArc Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Wow. DJ Pretzel, (sorry, djpretzel), this is definatly one of your finest mixes, and among the best super mario bros. theme mixes out there at all. I listened to this song before I read your description about it, and I thought for a long time that those were actually real instruments the whole time. They are very very convincing sounds! Please do more like this nice Jazz randition. It's worth it for all ears to listen to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddity Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I don't want to comment on the technicals of jazz, because I'd just be crapping out poop, or even something else. All I know about some jazz is that: 1.)There must be solos everywhere 2.)Percussion must exploit every rhythm possible at any time 3.)Song duration can travel with no limit 4.)It is in the key of alphabet 5.)They fight ALL the time. This mix falls into 4 of those categories I think, but/and it's pretty good. When it came on today I was enjoying every bit of it, but after repeated listens it kinda gets old, because you can expect everything, and for some reason in songs where there's infinite things going on, repeated listens of SHORT SAID SONGS grow old. Maybe sometime in the future 200X it will come as a surprise listen again. I really think this would benefit from limitless duration, and I hear making MORE jazz pieces can achieve such amazing feats. With new and improved djp knowledge, and djp equipment, and djp POWER, forces combine and screw that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumnJazz Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I think that this arrangement is just amazing! Great job, keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great King Rat Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Well then, I guess I must like jazz. I remember hearing this a loooong time ago, and it was just as good then as it is now. The piano and wind are the best parts, of course, as well as the part where he suddenly switches to the underworld theme. Not too keen on the percussion-and-bass section.

Tex Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I liked this jazz/mario/version. But has a small problem. This is not a Trio. Has 4 instruments in this remix: piano, flute, battery and "jazz guitar". Mario in piano, Luigi in flute, Toad in battery and Wario in "jazz guitar".

Goten X Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I personally enjoyed this piece as well. To tell the truth, I would have never thought of it, and that is what makes me like it even more. I love jazz, and this is truly a great jazz piece, if I do say so myself. Can't believe you thought jazz lovers wouldn't like it. |GX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Percussion sounds way too occupied for a lot of this and it's pretty distracting. It's like at the beginning when the flutist isn't playing yet, they are messing around with the drummer; playing notes as well. Creative arrangement, and nice transition to the 1-2 theme, but overall I wasn't really feeling the flow. There was a lot of jarring sections where it wasn't really smooth. Pretty nice samples though, especially considering the age of the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streets of Rage bum Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Just wanted to say this is one trippy, happenin' lil mix, i like how the sound just seems to have this "don't worry be happy, cheer up" kind of feel to it. And seeing it's one of the earlier mixes on the site, probably overlooked by the newer members. Stands the test of time in my books, good stuff DJP.

Crulex Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 When people say "gems of old OCR", this is without a doubt one of them. I think I found my Jazz groove. 1950's coffeehouse it is! As for the mix, the music flows so smoothly inbetween transitions and the sound is just so natural! I can actually picture this being played in a jazz club (well, this style of jazz club anyway). Very good arrangement and you kept with the style flawlessly. Damn good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tables Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Oh man I can definitely get behind this one. The samples are even solid enough where I'd at least second guess their legitimacy some of the time, which is pretty impressive! And the arrangement of the tunes is very well done, I think that this would totally fly today with a bump in quality! It's so so hard to keep the original Mario themes interesting, but you did a very nice job. I'm so glad there's a place for songs like this~ (.... also is that the flute from Shin Shuriken Jam?!)
