Pokemon Trainer Battle - Rock Jazz Orchestra Version (The 8-Bit Big Band)

The incredible "Trainer Battle" theme from Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow arranged for full sized big band and string orchestra featuring Andy Gutauskas on a burning Baritone Sax solo with effects pedals. This theme is so awesome and full of amazing chromaticism and non functional harmony! Check out that flying string section too. Thanks for listening!

Hearing this theme transports me right back to the school bus with my gameboy in hand trying to pull off the glitch where you can duplicate pokemon by pulling the link cable out at the right time with your friend :)
