Any good Jazz or Piano music?

Any good jazzy style or pianvideo game music out there? I’m interested in music similar to The Sims jazz music, like these: Latin Radio #1 (http://dl1.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/dl/2179/09a03a/Sims%2C%20the%20%28PC%29%20Game%20rip/latin_radio_1.mp3), Latin Radio #2 (http://dl1.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/dl/2179/2245a7/Sims%2C%20the%20%28PC%29%20Game%20rip/latin_radio_2.mp3), Latin Radio #3 (http://dl1.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/dl/2179/e0590c/Sims%2C%20the%20%28PC%29%20Game%20rip/latin_radio_4.mp3), Latin Radio #4 (http://dl1.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/dl/2179/e3a687/Sims%2C%20the%20%28PC%29%20Game%20rip/latin_radio_5.mp3), Building Mode #1 (http://dl1.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/dl/2179/501220/Sims%2C%20the%20%28PC%29%20Game%20rip/building_mode_2.mp3), Building Mode #2 (http://dl1.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/dl/2179/0b1027/Sims%2C%20the%20%28PC%29%20Game%20rip/building_mode_1.mp3), ect..

Anyway, more music like this would be nice but please recommend anything jazzy/piano related that you think is worth checking out. Thanks and cya.

I second this. I absolutely loved this style of music in the Sims but I haven’t been able to find anything else of the sort.

Those links aren’t working for me, but the King of Fighters series has some great jazzy tunes! KOF 95 Yagami team theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1rat5o7XI4&fmt=18)
KOF 95 Kusanagi team theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MVHS1EQzZI&fmt=18)

Great! Thanks for the info, SRWPyrit. 😀 Question: do all of the KOF Arrange soundtracks sound like this? On VGMdb the range from 1994 to 2000 and they’re all given 4+ star ratings. Anyway, it’s something new for me to check out and it seems worth listening to. Thanks again.

I’m not familiar with ALL the arranged soundtracks, but most do seem to lean towards jazzy arrangements. ’95-’98 are probably the ones you’ll be interested in. Also, just to keep the ball rollin’. Gyakuten meets Jazz/Phoenix Wright Jazz album (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7dJgHRUWc0)

Yup, I’m quite familiar with that soundtrack, it has been on my wish list for some time now. It seems to be out of print and sold out and no one that I know has the soundtrack, therefore, no lossless rip. 🙁 Oh well, such is life, eh? :p

Nice KOF theme! Thanks for sharing SRWPyrit :D.

I’m also interested in jazzy arrangements and songs!

* Hm… the first songs that come to my mind are songs related to Rouge, from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and even a song from Sonic Battle ("Club Rouge").
* There was also a song in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 that had a jazzy feeling but I can’t remember the name right now :S.
* From DJMAX (for PSP), the songs: Dream Of You, Yellowberry, Bye Bye Love, Sunny Side -Deep n’ Soul Mix-.
* Most songs in Marvel vs Capcom 2.
* Jubilife City (night time) from Pokemon Diamond/Pearl.
* The song: "Jazzy-NYC [latin mix] (underground edit) ~New York Alley Stage~" from the "Street Fighter 3 New Generation Original Arrange Album".
* The "Trophy Gallery" theme from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
* Various songs from the "Megaman X Arrangee Album"
* Most songs in Hotel Dusk.

Those are all the songs I can think of :S for now at least.

Can I recommend:

for some piano/jazzy game music 🙂

I can upload samples if the ones on the link dont work and if ya like what ya here, I can upload the whole album!

Also, the Cowboy Bebop albums (while not exclusively jazz music), have some wonderfully jazzy pieces on them 🙂

I’m not sure how to open those files as my foobar2000 doesn’t seem to read them but I was able to check out one of the songs at IMEEM, and yes, this is exactly what I’m looking for in terms of jazzy style piano. 😀 If you are able to share this album then that would be great! I’m also putting this high on my wish list for albums to purchase while it’s still available. 🙂 Thanks!

Also I’ve heard about those Cowboy Bebop albums, I’ll look into it. Thanks again.

Hotel Dusk is a great suggestion! Nice and mellow tunes to go with the mood of the game. Also, the Melty Blood series has some good jazzy tunes.
Melty Blood Actress Again – Elegant Summer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K8m54RoilM)
Melty Blood Actress Again – Encount (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDBwCj5lX3E)

Thanks for posting these, SRWPyrit, they definitely sound interesting. I looked up the album at VGMdb and it appears to be quite new; so maybe it’s still available for purchase? Well whatever the case, it has some great music on it, including this other great song (not jazz related):

Thanks Full_Circle! 😀 What late? :p

Bartender OST! That soundtrack as some amazing jazz music.

Bartender OST is awesome indeed!

If you just want brilliant piano/keyboard based jazz (with some excursions in to trio and fusion) by someone Japanese, check out Hiromi Uehara on Youtube. I ended up buying two DVDs of her music and most of her CDs.

Throwback Galaxy – Super Mario Galaxy 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVt61oE5BfE)

Check out the Persona soundtracks, especially 5.

There also lots of good jazz songs throughout the Mario series (e.g. Super Bell Hill from 3D World).

My playlist for Jazz in vgm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAbGtJqw-k8&list=PLzd8sgrk7Jg5touiMYS9awsDvrjIBcHUf

Still adding to it. It focuses on pre 2000 tracks & mostly CD-ROM era tracks, but i’ll delve into chiptune stuff a little as well.

Personally, the Mombasa Streets tracks from Halo 3: ODST capture the game’s film-noir atmosphere perfectly.

King Of Fighters 95 OST got some good jazz tracks such The Creeping Soul, Esaka Theme, etc.
