This month, the video game arrangement my patrons chose was a fun one: Sweet Mountain from Sonic Colors! Since this tune features samples of a big band, I had some fun and wrote a bit of a love letter to several big bands I've absorbed over the years, by taking tiny samples of them and collaging them into a part in this arrangement! We also may visit more Sonic-series mountains than just the Sweet variety with this melody...
