“The Little Chef” From Kingdom Hearts III Receives A Not So Little Jazz / Big Band Fusion Fan Cover

During the recently concluded March Caprice 2.0 event, musician David Russell and several collaborators performed a stellar ambitious jazz / big band fusion fan arrangement of “The Little Chef” from Kingdom Hearts III. This track plays when doing the cooking minigame in the game. Ordinarily, players only hear this song for a relatively brief amount of time, but this vibrant fan cover emits a longer-lasting sense of joviality that excellently captures the essence of the original track composed by Tsuyoshi Sekito. Honestly, the Kingdom Hearts community’s musical talent is incredible and deserves significant attention.

The following musicians worked on this cover alongside David Russell (Melodica, e.piano):

• Bass: Nico Mendoza
• Drums: Dom Palombi
• Guitar: Shayne Plunkett
• 3-Part Sax: Evan Cobb
• 4-Part Trombone: Daniel Romberger
• 4-Part Trumpet: Marc Papeghin
• Violin: Matheus Garcia Souza
• Mastering: Ro Panuganti
