Want You Gone - Frank Sinatra Big Band Swing Version (The 8-Bit Big Band)

We're back with another incredible piece from the Portal series, here's "Want You Gone" totally reimagined in the style of Frank Sinatra's arrangement of "I've Got You Under my Skin" (originally arranged by the great Nelson Riddle), and sung by the amazing singer/trumpet player Benny Benack III.

It's a testament to great song writing when your lyrics and melody can function in an entirely different context like this, so huge thanks to Jonathan Coulton for this great piece of music!

This song and more coming soon to our 3rd album "Backwards Compatible" but in the mean time

"The 8-Bit Big Band" is a 30-65 member Jazz/pops orchestra that formed to celebrate and realize some of the best themes from video game music from all consoles and eras arranged in a large ensemble Jazz/Pop/Rock setting!

Blending together timeless musical themes from Nintendo, Sega, Playstation, and more then re-arranging them in genres and styles of all musical inspirations, The 8-Bit Big Band has members from all around the world, but most reside primarily in New York City, and are some of the most highly sought after musicians and performers.
