Relax and unwind with Live From Pallet Town, a smooth jazz tribute to the beloved Pokémon series.

New York-based jazz ensemble VGM Collective, led by trumpet player Max Boiko, presents gentle, intimate arrangements of classic Pokémon music featuring piano, bass, drums, flute, and saxophone.

This debut studio album covers fan favorites from Pokémon Red & Blue through Pokémon Black & White 2, plus iconic themes from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Stadium 2. Featuring compositions by Junichi Masuda, Hitomi Sato, Go Ichinose, Arata Iiyoshi, Hajime Wakai, and Shota Kageyama, this album is perfect for Pokémon fans, jazz enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a relaxing atmosphere with their music. Listeners drawn to this smooth-jazz approach to Pokémon may also enjoy The Deku Trio’s solo single Pokémon Center Jazz, or step into the wider GameChops Unplugged catalog with Sixth Station Trio’s chamber-music Zelda Classics.

Live From Pallet Town was recorded by Ricky Berotti at Red Convertible Recording in Queens, New York. This album is our first time producing a jazz record with a live band recording all together. What do you think? Should we do more projects like this? Let us know in the comments. 

Thanks for listening!
