This isn’t a transcription. I leveraged a piano sheet that I purchased from MusicNotes.com which, if you’re interested in this piece, I recommend you check out.
It’s possible that Severance has become one of my all-time favorite TV shows. So I had to cover the main title theme, as only I can!
Referencing a pivotal scene in the series, here I am performing my “Defiant Jazz” arrangement. I’m just here for the waffle party…
Update April 2025: Britt Lower, star of the Apple TV+ series Severance, gave me a shout-out on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon! She thanked me for my YouTube video and then played my arrangement on pocket trumpet with The Roots (the Tonight Show band).
Check out the moment at the 9:30 mark:
Listen for the distinctive articulations from Dave Guy, the high-octave trumpet player in the band, and the “modal jazz chords” from the rhythm section. I’m absolutely stunned!
Britt repeated the shout-out a few days later in an interview with Josh Weiss of Forbes Magazine. Be sure to check that out too!
