Sonic the Hedgehog 2 — Jazz Arrangements (Full Album)
Step into a whole new speed run of sound with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 — Jazz Arrangements, a complete album that transforms the iconic 16-bit score into a smooth, swinging jazz experience. Every track preserves the heart, structure, pacing, and energy of the classic Sega Genesis soundtrack—now brought to life through faithful jazz instrumentation while staying true to the original melodies fans know by heart.
From the sunny bounce of Emerald Hill Zone to the tense underground drive of Mystic Cave Zone and the epic reveal of Hidden Palace Zone, each piece is rebuilt with rich tenor sax leads, upright bass grooves, piano comping, and crisp swing drums that capture the retro vibe without changing a single note of the soul. This album delivers pure nostalgia and sophistication, crafted for Sonic fans, jazz lovers, and collectors alike.
Official release date is February 15th, 2026, but the full album is available immediately and exclusively on Animeneax.com for early access.
Prepare for a musical spin dash through the zones—reborn through the lens of jazz.
