VGM Collective
New York City video game jazz ensemble
VGM Collective is a New York jazz group led by trumpeter Max Boiko, with Jasper Dutz on saxophone and flute, Sungtaek Choo on piano, Bob Bruya on bass, and Gary Kerkezou on drums.
Their debut, Live From Pallet Town, is a Pokémon record cut to tape at Red Convertible Recording in Queens, with arrangements that stay loose and largely improvised.
The set pulls fan favorites from Red & Blue through Black & White 2, plus a few deeper cuts from Mystery Dungeon and Stadium 2, and plays them like a quiet late set at a club.
