Clarification: Le Castle Vania contributed music for the John Wick films (specifically John Wick 1, 2 and 4.) Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard are primarily credited with writing and arranging the score for the movies.

Note 1: The Mario & Zelda Big Band Live CD can be found on many online distributors but the CD itself appears to be out of print, it does not appear to be possible to purchase the mp3s online at this time.

Note 2: Bandcamp links always provided when able. Beatport tracks can usually also be found on amazon mp3 at a lower price and the advantage of cloud backup without extra cost, but at a fixed fidelity.
