2014 stars fell on Alabama RITA PAYES Joan chamorro quintet & Scott Hamilton

[@pipersnakis]

I am not going to say anything about the top notch performance here...it brought me tears of joy. It is my birthday in abut 50 minutes and I want to thank Joan Chamarro for all that he has done for the world of jazz. If not for him and his efforts, all the talent we see here on You Tube everyday would never have happened. How full must his heart be to have done such wonders. I want to thank you Maestro for this birthday present you have been giving me all this year. I have reached 85 successfully and I never thought I would. The music you are responsible for has buoyed me up and a wonderful light of jazz music keeps this old brain smiling and deliriously happy. Here I am again listening to this for the umpteenth time. Can't get enough. Holy Moses!!

Are you reaching anybody's soul with it, "genius"? Post a couple with 400,000+ views. There is magic in this Barcelona jazz. I love it.

[@alainjames9556]

Credit has to go to Joan Chamorro - and in particular that there are so many women involved - on all the instruments. I love hearing a band composed of both men and women. This is great. And, I have to say, Rita Payés is a miracle - both as a singer and trombone player. What a beautiful sound she gets on that instrument - and her singing - reminds me of Billie Holiday - really pure.

[@alainjames9556]

[@stevehardy5936]

The song is based on an especially brilliant display of the Leonid meteor shower in the year 1833, supposedly hundreds or even thousands of "shooting stars" that night.

[@patrickh9226]

I don't know how I've missed this one until now. This is a very nice, soft, lightly swinging version of the tune. Scott's face lights up in the middle of Rita's trombone solo. Then, of course, his own solo is just perfect. I think the nicest part of watching these people is seeing the way they enjoy and respect each other so much.

[@sarodiya]

Yes indeed, ‘enjoy and respect each other’, beautiful musical synergy!

[@johnmetzger8856]

So touching and beautiful; this is very well done by Rita, and Scot Hamilton is superb as always.

[@extanegautham8950]

played this for my friend, a VERY well known Alto Sax Jazzman here in USA....African American in his 80's still performing, originally from Detroit, a colleague of Barry Harris....He was stunned. Stunnned. Said, "how old is she?" Then I played West Coast Blues....again, stunned by her solo....

[@bosybrandthansen4236]

Joan Chamorro's cover notes for the CD "Joan Chamorro Presenta Rita Payés" "Rita Payés (14-15 years old, while recording) is a trombonist and singer, but mostly she’s music, in every sense of the word, and a great person ... «She joined Sant Andreu Jazz Band only one year ago, and I’ll never forget the emotion she caused me when I heard her sing Stars fell on Alabama for the first time (issued as part of this record), with a very personal voice, sometimes sharp, sometimes broken, nuanced, perfectly toned and rich in rhythmic contribution. Plus, as a trombonist, she has a clear sound, round, very direct.» -Joan Chamorro"

Silverbacks...yes indeed! Great metaphor for the talent Joan brings in to these kids for inspiration and from whom to learn jazz...if it can be taught! I think Joan finds the kids who have it and nurtures them.

Of all places the American Standards Song-book is kept alive/rejuvenated from Spain thru these very enthusiastic young Jazz talents from Barcelona. For me is Ignasi, the (not so young) pianist the unsung hero. He has a beautiful touch and interpretation of these Jazzy classic songs with unlimited improvisations and gently breezin’ swing!

[@harryschro]

It’s worth adding to Paul J’s comment on Rita’s horn, that it’s a much larger instrument, with a larger bore, than the usual trombones which jazz players use. You see horns like that in symphony trombone sections. The advantage is that it puts out a bigger and richer sound; the disadvantage is that it’s much much harder to control. To have taken on that kind of challenge at fifteen, and to make it work as she does, says a lot about Rita personally, all of it in considerable admiration.

[@RalphDratman]

Very interesting and thank you for the information, Harry.

[@paanikki]

A good remark. Jazz players rarely use the kind of trombone Rita Payés used in these early recordings. (tenor trombone with quart valve and larger bore+bell) When writing this comment, Payés has been playing a standard tenor trombone for several years.

[@markvincent4460]

Totally agree; I played bass trombone for years which limits your range but gives a big fat sound.

[@saxofonistacr]

Scott Hamilton is so underestimated, He never plays a not that makes no sense, Always nice an melodic, singable stuff, That is way harder to do than running scales up on down at fast tempos. Most people don't get it and would say he is just ok. Scatt plays the way it should be for people to listen, not for musicians.

[@ClaudioRCFaria]

4:57 - Watch Andrea get ready to close it, then immediately yield as she saw Rita going for it. Team spirit, then and ever.

[@jeffreyhamer3107]

It was two girls playing a trick on the standup bass player, who is the band leader. They planned it. Watch his face.

[@ClaudioRCFaria]

@@jeffreyhamer3107 - Trick? What trick do you mean? His face at what time? What I saw was that both the trumpeter and the saxophonist were ready to play the last bars, but when they saw the singer pull up her trombone, they backed down and let her do it. It was her turn up front, and they respected it.

[@ericstevens8131]

The trumpet and saxophone played the notes that they were supposed to play to help set up the ending. There was no yielding. There were no tricks.

[@ArturoBeramendi1704]

Otra interpretación absolutamente maravillosa de una Rita Payés en estado de gracia a sus 15 añitos de edad. Un talento descomunal, un gusto y sensibilidad apabullantes, una voz bellísima (todavía de niña, sí, pero bellísima), unos genes musicales evidentes, un trabajo y formación como vocalista y trombonista de Jazz que la ha llevado casi toda su vida (termino la carrera en el Conservatorio hace un par de años, creo), una bien ganada fama y prestigio por medio mundo gracias a estos videos en el entorno de la SAJB ... [Y todo eso para acabar tocando actualmente en el grupo de un rapero reguetonero de esos ... Ay, Rita ...]

[@fliprim]

At least we now know that Rita didn't end up merely adding class to a shallow regaeton rapper. (The videos of some performances show her openly laughing at CPT's antics.) Since then she has worked with very many musically worthy, popular performers from Oques Grasses to Jon Batiste and so many others. (I counted over twenty collaborations since 2021!) The jazz has been exceptional; adventurous with Kaleidoscope, mainstream with WDR and singing perfection with Enrique Oliver and Jaume Llambart...

[@ArturoBeramendi1704]

@@fliprim Yes, I already said a while ago in another post that I should not be so harsh and fundamentalist with Rita when she goes down somewhat "unexpected" paths. Like everyone in our lives, sometimes we get it right and other times we get the big slap in the face. I am and will continue to be an absolute admirer of Rita, whatever she does, because as you say, my friend, the vast majority of the time she gets it right and makes us enjoy her talent.

[@paulsj9245]

@Mike They are a big party, 20+ youngsters with instruments plus parents to accompany their minor children... Plus they are pupils, bound to their school holidays. The band has been in France, Switzerland, Scandinavia, maybe Italy, but to cross the Atlantic is another story. Andrea has been to New York with the quintet and to other places with little company - that's affordable. Otherways, it may be more sensitive for the audience to come to Barcelona - in April, September and November there are usually big opportunities to see&hear them. Let's hope that the current limitations pass soon and as many people as possible emerge healthy!
