In A Mellow Tone
Wednesday March 19th, 2025 with Natalie McGrath
Joystick Jazz: Legendary Video Game Soundtracks
🎮 Calling all gamers! 🎮
Get ready to hit 'start' on an unforgettable musical quest with this week's In a Mellow Tone session!
Join us as we explore jazz renditions of iconic video game scores and original jazz pieces from these beloved soundtracks!
Listeners can look forward to jazz interpretations of Nintendo classics like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, Kirby, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi's Island; RPG masterpieces such as Final Fantasy, Skyrim, Kingdom Hearts, and Persona 5; and other fan favourites including Pokémon, Halo, Sonic, Street Fighter, Fallout, and more! 👾
Host Natalie McGrath will be your guide through the evolution of music in gaming, uncovering the stories, history, and lasting impact behind some of your favourite soundtracks.
These are the scores that transported us to other worlds, fueled our virtual adventures, and—let's be honest—probably made us rage quit a few times. Whether you were collecting coins, leveling up, or facing off against that one impossible boss, these melodies were the soundtrack to it all.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to relive the magic of video game music through the soulful sounds of jazz.
