There was no way I was doing a big SInnoh project without giving some love to the best rendition of the Poké Mart theme! Originally, I had planned to do this arrangement as a long, full jazz combo arrangement... but ended up having to trim some of the arrangement due to time constraints on the physical CDs for Sinnohvation! Honestly, I think the arrangement sounds better that way haha; this song is a bop, but it doesn't need to go on for like... 7 minutes! This particular arrangement was inspired by "Jig a Jug", a tune played by Joshua Redman on his Live at the Village Vanguard record. I had to transcribe his solo on that recording for one of my classes at Berklee, and I fell in love with the groove and the Db blues two feel! While this tune isn't strictly a blues, it's sort of close to one, so it pays homage in that little way. Hope you dig!
