There's nothing wrong with quoting other musicians work and using it as a foundation for something new. In fact a huge part of the jazz tradition which Gershwin is part of is exactly that. And it's not just Jazz, the same thing is the case with the blues, with rock, with western art music, ect. It's only in the past few decades that people have started getting pissy about the same sequence of notes that they used being used by someone else, and that's only because people are fucking greedy bastards. There's so much more to music than just a sequence of notes played in a specific rhythm.

dude fightman is an insane song, i keep coming back to listen to it x3

Bro that sonata right there was genius, pure comedic value

I am so glad to see this posted and transcribed here. T-Square is my absolute favorite jazz act, and Casiopeia is right up there with them. T-Square is so incredibly underrated and little known outside of Japan, and they are, in my personal opinion, the most skilled and talented jazz fusion group to emerge from the scene. Masahiro Andoh (first appears at 0:58) is the Japanese Eddie van Halen and is a phenomenal guitarist; Mitsuri Sutoh (first appears at 0:23) is one of my favorite bassists, and his slap play style is like ear candy; the late Hirotaka Izumi (first appears at 0:45) really was like a modern-day Mozart as his solo would suggest; Takeshi Ito (first appears at 1:05) is a highly underrated saxophonist, EWI player and flautist; and Issei Noro's (first appears at 0:52) unique funky style practically defined the Japanese Fusion movement. This is one of my favorite performances of the two groups, the fun they have while goofing around and trading solos is positively enthralling. Thank you and your assistants for transcribing this moment so beautifully. More people need to know about T-Square and Casiopeia.

this genuinely made me so happy

i am in awe of the person that transcribed this

As soon as I saw Minoru Mukaiya appear, I fangirled hard, that man is frickin’ GOOD on the keys, holy moly!

Rare to see so many gifted musicians in one area the all have soul and technique usally it goes one without the other

Fightman is a certified classic. I showed this to all my non-musician friends and they are always impressed and love the song.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen, hands down.
