This innovative track pairs glitch hop with jazz in a groovy, swingy and absolutely superb way. The hoofstep intro leads into a well-produced and very fun track. The beeps, growls, and bzzts are organized like a classic jazz piece, and the saxophone-esque synth halfway really drives the point home. Anyone who likes either glitch hop or jazz should give this a listen – or 5!

BlueBrony – Roomies | Electro Swing
We don’t often get Electro Swing in the community, and it’s such a shame considering the bliss of the genre! BlueBrony got us covered though, and here’s one elegant and cool piece delivering the musician’s take on the genre with all the jazzy instruments and melodies! Imagining that this could be the result of Vinyl and Octavia’s combined efforts and passion, feels awesome too!
LuRhythmic – Awoken (Covering Glaze & H8_Seed) | Piano Solo / Jazz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95zyLcsAtWY
Now here’s something that I love to see and that is so very lovely. With expert hands, LuRhythmic did a Piano improv using chords from the famous Awoken by Glaze aka WoodenToaster and H8_Seed, resulting in a blissful Jazz-y track that would fit so well as a BGM in some chill night bar. Also check out the Piano improv of Nightmare Night, the Bebop Jazz cover of Bats, and the Big Band Jazz cover of Rainbow Factory! They are all awesome and rare gems!
Aviators – Open Your Eyes (ThisSideOfOblivion Remix) | Electronic
ThisSideOfOblivion presents us a remix of a classic from 2013, Open Your Eyes from Aviators. With a solid rearrangement bringing drums, strings, and even delightful sax, it doesn’t fail to pay tribute to the original in a chill yet intricate way!
TheMusicReborn – Just Another Day In Ponyville (Covering 4EverfreeBrony) | Acoustic
Not only TheMusicReborn covered 4EverfreeBrony‘s vocals from the original Acapella, he also composed a brand new instrumental to go along with it! This results in a wonderful new take on the original, filled with gorgeous vocals, trumpet and piano.
Lenich & Kirya – Pinkie’s Brew Russian Gypsy Jazz (2017) (Covering Sherclop Pones) | Jazz
For the 5-years anniversary of the release of their first song, Pinkie’s Brew Russian Gypsy Jazz, Lenich & Kirya made an updated 2017 version! Still covering the famous original by Sherclop Pones (Griffin Lewis & Jenny Nicholson), it does an awesome job at providing a very nice Jazz version paying tribute to the original melodies and vocals.
A Symphony Of Two – El Bocadillo De Queso | Latin Orchestral
We don’t often get tracks paying much tribute to Cheese Sandwich, and this one does it just right! While staying true to the Orchestral roots of the Fellowship, the song progresses into a more lively and upbeat mood full of Latin Music influence, truly fitting well the personality of the party pony that is Cheese Sandwich. And it is no wonder that the title translates to “The Cheese Sandwich”!
Lunar Drift – A Rarity in Time | Swing Piano
A much graceful new release from Lunar Drift, A Rarity in Time emphasizes on Rarity’s antics in S05E15 Rarity Investigates and truly shines bright as a rarity, going for a jazzy swing piano route with even a delightful guitar part providing the icing on the cake. This, fillies and gentlecolts, is Lunar Drift’s magic!
TheMusicReborn – Pinkie’s Brew (Covering Griffin Lewis & Jenny Nicholson) | Trumpet
Forever a classic, the goldie oldie Pinkie’s Brew gets a remastered trumpet cover from TheMusicReborn, and it is definitely much welcomed! Partake in nostalgia or newfound appreciation as the original melodies lay out in a masterful trumpet arrangement, complete with a much gypsy-like instrumental accompaniment!
ThePloyMaker – A Night in Manehattan | Jazz
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 27 March 2017.
A new musician appears with a pretty awesome piece! We don’t hear much jazz in the fandom and The PloyMaker seems to have some skill with it. This piece focuses on some lovely trumpet and saxophone sounds, with soft drums helping to set the jazzy atmosphere. Give it a listen for a lovely night out in Manehattan!
