Cowboy Bebop’s Musicians Jam Out in a New Behind-the-Scenes Video

If Yoko Kanno didn’t return to jot down the music for Netflix’s new live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, there actually wouldn’t have been a purpose to do it. Her jazz-infused rating virtually defines Cowboy Bebop as a lot as Spike, Faye, Jet Black, and Ein mixed. Thankfully, she is again for this model, which debuts later this week, and a brand new video tells us all about it.

In the video, we see Kanno discussing her strategy to returning to the world of Bebop, how she did issues in a different way this time round, and we get to see and listen to her create a few of what she calls a “groovy potluck party.” In a Netflix press launch, music supervisor and soundtrack album producer Thomas Golubić stated, “This soundtrack represents Yoko Kanno’s vision and her singular magic. It’s Seatbelts, a jazz band in top form, playing their hearts out under the guidance of a maestro.” So, hey—3, 2, 1, let’s jam out and take a look at the video.

There are some actually cool little tidbits in that, along with the pure pleasure of seeing Kanno conducting musicians, most of whom are carrying shirts with the identify of one in all their songs on them (in fact it’s “Tank”). One fascinating notice is that she’s solely reusing about one-tenth of the music she initially made for the anime. Also, she doesn’t give any of the characters their very own themes, as an alternative preferring to jot down music based mostly on scenario and emotion. It’s an excellent clip that provides you actually, actually excessive expectations for the present (sadly, whereas our personal Charles Pulliam-Moore admired the soundtrack in his evaluation, the remainder of the present didn’t fare so nicely).

You could make up your individual thoughts very quickly: Cowboy Bebop in addition to its soundtrack are out on Friday.
