Your Name, Please (EarthBound) | Critical Hit Quintet - Live
Your Name, Please from EarthBound, performed as a jazz arrangement by Critical Hit Quintet.
Originally composed by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka for the Super Nintendo classic EarthBound, this quirky and memorable theme appears early in the game when the player is asked to enter the characters’ names. In this arrangement, the melody is reimagined in a jazz setting, exploring the harmony and groove of the original through improvisation.
This performance was recorded at Hos Naboen during a concert organized by Kristiansand Jazzclub in Kristiansand, Norway.
