2018 No moon at all JOAN CHAMORRO PRESENTA ALBA ARMENGOU (feat. JOHN ALLRED)

[@pipersnakis]

Alba Armengou nails this performance of one of my top ten jazz pieces. Her cute accent only adds to the charm of this fine songstress. Ignasi Terraza plays like he has three hands, so wonderful. Joan Mar Sauqué's trumpet solo was nothing short of Davis!!! Alba just ended the song as I am writing and she hits that high note that made the hair on the back of my neck tingle with delight. The trombone work by John Aldred is priceless. I find it hard to comprehend the sheer avalanche of talent that is flowing out of Spain due to Joan Chimarro's work. I am lost for words really.

[@martinvanr.545]

Ignasi is two persons - his left hand and his right hand, unbelievable, brillant!

[@perolafmohnberge7483]

He must be ambidexterous like Erroll Garner and other brilliant jazz pianists

[@paulsj9245]

Independent hands, that's what pianists (big and small) are taught from the start - Ignasi masters it perfectly!

[@josephdcruz515]

I echo Martin’s praise of Ignasi.His playing is out of this world!’

[@baynonee]

Ignasi is a master jazzman he sits amongst all the masters

[@feuskadi6395]

Maybe because he's blind. His hands are his eyes on the piano

[@chrisdyson5513]

These performances just get better and better. Jazz is alive and blooming again with the help of Joan Chamorro and these brilliant young musicians.

[@TakeFive-ov8co]

Exactly!!!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Joan surely has overcome the gap between old and new. And he has made old new again. Because jazz never dies.

[@brucekuehn4031]

You can’t learn jazz just by listening. It has to be handed down from the older to the younger. Same as classical really - good teachers and mentors are required.

[@paulparoma]

@@brucekuehn4031 Nor can you learn jazz in a conservatory. You have to have a special gift for it.

[@RalphDratman]

@@paulparoma I don't know. Joan has made so many of these youngsters into jazz musicians at various levels. If you mean the ability to solo fluently, I'm sure that is quite rare. But don't you think jazz includes a wider range of talent than just improvising?

[@HaJo_01]

Music from a time when I wasn't even born. And I'm not the youngest. And yet the interpretations of the young and professional musicians around Joan Chamorro radiate a topicality, as if they had only just been written for her. If you then listen to one of the originals, they sound more like yesterday. That's what makes these talented young people so magical. They make old things young again. Even the audience sometimes ;-) Thank you

[@stonewatersand]

Well said..

[@iminsmim]

That finish is awsome..

[@RalphDratman]

This is one of Alba's strongest performances. Wonderful.

[@pipersnakis]

Oh my God, they are reliving all of my very favorite music. It is getting so I don't listen to any other music lately! Best jazz around today and it is so good it is addictive! Can't get enough! John Allred's trombone solo is epic! Wow!

[@jerrymoat7432]

Me tooo haaaa .good though

[@RalphDratman]

This is outstanding. Alba keeps growing with her vocals. The Allred solo is great. Congratulations to all.

[@mbcljw]

Great! I love John Allred's trombone solo, especially his brief opening quote from 'Topsy Part 2' . I loved all the solos, the band, and of course Alba. But what I love best is the way everyone in the band listens and attends to the soloists. No wonder they develop so quickly. Well done all!

[@broughtonroadboy]

i remember the original of this with Ann Richards and Stan Kenton - it took me many years to get hold of that recording. I love this version from the incredible talent of Barcelona. As a drummer of many years standing, I would like to mention the girl in this band - she really knows how to swing, and her feel for the music is wonderful to hear. Just brilliant!

[@chanelops]

That's Abril Sauri on drums -- and I agree with you, she's long been one of my favorites. Sometimes (not often) she sings as she drums, and does a great job!

[@steve-o5600]

Amazing. Can't believe I missed this one. The band and soloists are cookin'. Love the ending where Alba hits the high notes.

[@martincarlstrom6920]

Again a fantastic performance by a classic and I say that Alba is the new queen of SAJB

[@mgsee]

Superb. Alba is a fine vocalist.

[@tex24]

THIS IS JAZZ!!! When you think you heard the best of the Sant Andreu jazz Band, you stumble upon another gem. This is truly amazing! WOW! Alba Armengou keeps getting better and better. Ignasi Terraza on piano is always great. And, wait, who's that guy on the trombone... Joan Allred... Wow! The whole band swings!

[@garryberman894]

Alba is following in Andrea Motis' still-fresh footsteps. Both are incredible talents!

[@chanelops]

Yes, I had the same thought myself.

[@7romboloide]

Yo también

[@barboror]

The fabulous Alba and the gang does it again :) Hope her Thumbs got better.

[@rodmact6548]

Thanks again Joan for posting another winner! And like @Paul Mason, count me in for DVDs too! It's such a blast to actually see the kids just killing it. When it's audio only, of course it's great, but they're so damn good you can forget these are mostly teenagers - they sound like a pro band anywhere in the world!

[@aleidasan]

Jazz music doesn’t have an expiration day. It’s alive👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@wetlandweasel]

The whole band is tight! Alba's singing and diction has improved so much. Bravo, Joan!

[@mayanleap3366]

In the middle of concerts, recording sessions, trips to many countries, create new talents each month and repertoire for trios, quartets, quintets, or the band... the teachers and coaches team must be also credited for their fabulous job... and the "older" young musicians, parents, friends helping as auxiliary teachers... What a new talent factory !

[@hank1519]

You've said something very important!

[@etiloyon3681]

Allred is an appropriate for a trombonist. And he is an excellent one.Good session, thank you !

[@martinoestate4758]

Magic! Alba is fantastic!

[@danball4410]

She sang so good - she just keeps getting better and better! And the band aid on her right thumb makes it real :)

[@Kylie2011DcsabaS]

Yes, she sings like a femme fatale - simply irresistible! :-)

[@ClaudioRCFaria]

@@danball4410 - Left thumb

[@danball4410]

[@LuisHumbertoCruzContreras]

Her voice and talent is unique! Congratulations Alba.

[@paulphelps7809]

Really great job on this one, from everybody. That trombonist is really good.

[@martinvanr.545]

This is top of the bill! I was (once again) touched by the fact that this is old(er) and young(er) playing in such a brillant harmony. Terrific! Can’t stop listening 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@melvinenos2781]

Love Alba here in this performance! I really enjoy her playing and singing as she does it with such innocence and humility!

[@KeithCooper-Albuquerque]

Man did this swing! Great vocal, wonderful solos (John Allred could not be anymore melodically wonderful!) what a way to wake up today!

[@Pakunin61]

Consuela y gratifica saber que gente tan joven se muestre tan interesante, lejos de la mediocridad que promueve el Sistema. Enhorabuena.

[@Qboro66]

Effortless beauty by the youngsters. ¡Y el Mágico de la piano Señor Ignasi Terraza! Gracias a todos por sus talentos. Bendición a Maestro Joan Chamorro.(perdona me, español no es mi primera lengua)☮&❤

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Alba and the gang... Swingin' it!!! This band is TIGHT!!! Thanks Joan!! ----- About my 8th time listening to this wonderful rendition. GREAT solos. And only a brilliant instrumentalist could phrase and riff the way Alba does, IMHO.

[@chanelops]

I've been waiting a long time for this video -- it's my favorite song on Alba's CD, I just love it! Not only does she kill it vocally, but every single one of the solos is great -- and there are lots of them! And on top of all that, the band as an ensemble just sounds so tight and in sync -- they're firing on all cylinders! Thanks and congrats Joan, this is a keeper for sure! (PS, kudos to Abril for providing a great rhythm base for all of them to build on)

[@MarkGibsonrmarkgibson]

This is such an easy swinging rendition of such a great tune. Alba is fantastic as are all of the players in the band. Love it.

[@TheJoemar11]

Alba, better than ever :)...as usual, accompanied by a great great Sant Andreu band. Keep it up!

[@CBDav]

Ms. Alba's got it going on! ;)

[@ericwent4931]

That's Alba Esteban, and yes, she's terrific!

[@denisbeautrix1829]

Rhythmic, Soloists, everything is perfect. Miss Alba you blowed it! Wonderful! Thank you Joan

[@MrKarpovaleksey]

Я сейчас в Барселоне, и счастлив осознавать, что где-то рядом со мной такие замечательные музыканты. Многое бы отдал за то, чтоб услышать вас вживую, но никаких выступлений на время моего визита, увы, нет. Люблю ваше творчество, Joan! Спасибо вам! Голос Альбы прекрасен, все музыканты бесконечно талантливы, работа звукорежиссёра безупречна!

[@vl9679]

Alba é corajosa, nova desse jeito e encarando uma orquestra!Parabéns

[@wsirius1998]

Awesome Alba Armengou knocked this one out of the park. Just listen a) to the piano singing section beginning with 0:27, b) the rift at 1:05, and then c) the falsetto 4:32. As usual, excellent band performance, excellent solos by John Allred, Ignasi Terraza, Marçal Perramon and Joan Mar Sauque & first class drumming by the elegant Abril.

[@garoso6223]

Agreed on fronts, but that falsetto does sort of rip your heart out -- in a good way, of course.

[@sitarnut]

Yes, Abril ='s fantastic drumming.

[@williamlrobinson6293]

Great swinging arrangement! Terrific effort by everyone. Way to go Joan!

[@dongaetano3687]

What a simply, natural beauty Alba has, nice presentation from this talented young lady. Band and all solos great in this but- John on the trumbon just grabbed me as he entered. My favorite instrument so, I'm a bit prejudiced for it. Thanks everyone and Joan Monne arreglo

[@raymondlaracuenta746]

Love it wonderful sound.singing is spectacular great solo work.WONDERFUL BAND.

[@trex70]

I have a Playlist only for Alba Songs and this is also getting into it. Thank's for sharing. Gracias.

Hola Joan...Congratulaciones muy rico con alma💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@Pakunin61]

Y perdón. Me referí a los jóvenes. Afortunados ellos de contar con el apoyo de adultos de tanta categoría. Gracias a unos y a otros por dejarnos disfrutar de su sentido arte.

[@uweschollmeyer9409]

No disrespect to Cecile McLorin Salvant intended, there is a great video with her and Andrea Motis from Berne some months ago, but I just compared this multiple-times Grammy winner with Alba Armengou and have begun to wonder how many Grammys Alba is going to collect within the next years.

[@alain1959]

I discovered the Sant Andreu Jazz Band a few months ago and I'm going from surprise to surprise. So much talent and so much humility. Thank you so much Alba, Rita, Andrea, Joan and all the others...

[@strongangel]

Wow Alba, you are going all the way up. Great performance from all concerned.

[@mariolagrasta9606]

Alba non è più una bambina,è una bella donna ma sempre una GRANDE ARTISTA

[@davmonge]

Awesome as always! notable mention about the superlative falsetto passage in the end of the piece that Alba did! perfect.

[@willycurubeto]

Excelente interpretación de la banda!! Alba cada vez más afianzada en su voz, mostrando su calidad interpretativa. Felicitaciones Alba un placer escucharte con el apoyo de tan excelentes músicos. Gracias por seguir compartiendo tanto talento.

Fabulous. Love that growling baritone.

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

That really is a brilliant Trombone solo - and so true to the mood set by Alba... Bravo!

I wish I could upvote this video every time I rewatch it, which is almost daily... :)

Another super vocal by Alba and some great instrumental solos by the team, not least the ever-dependable John Allred guesting again on trombone.

again and again, Ms Saori sets the perfect pace-all youtr drummers are good, but when April S sets off,i t's like a warm jacuzzi !

[@paulmasonsjazz9611]

Always exceeds expectations! I would like to be able to purchase DVDs of the Joan Chamorro Presents CDs (Alba, Elia, Magali, etc) as I get a lot from seeing the band working together (having fun) as well as listening. I have quite a few of the CDs and wish I could see the tracks when they are playing! DVDs would be a good fundraiser too!

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Excellent idea!

[@erneststringer801]

I think there’ be a large market for DVD’s. I’d buy the whole set. I’ve watched jazz as a genre die off over the years. Joan and his young musicians have brought it back to life magnificently.🌸🌷🌹🍄🍁🥀🌺💐🌻🌿

[@paulmasonsjazz9611]

The early Jazzing CD's have DVDs included in the price of Euro 15. I would like to see the later Jazzing CD's and 'JC presents' on DVD's sold independently for at least Euro 15 as I like to see the musicians (who plays what and when) plus the expressions of happiness on their faces (especially Joans!) - see video 'He ain't got rhythm.' Lots of fun and interaction between musicians on that one....

[@timobesamusca9332]

It is so cool to see all these great songs performed by the fantastic young musicians of the SAJB! Not to mention their older companions who do an equally great job😜 I have been listening to the SJAB and watching their videos for a couple of months now, and you really have become part of my daily dose of music. I play your music each day when I commute to and from work, and you are the best way to start and end my (working) day!

[@mikedrinan5223]

The whole performance was delicious 🤠

[@menace46]

Superb! Alba fantastic as usual and Ignasi, John, Joan etc with brilliant solos. I love the regular, faithful input from others such as Josep, Alba Esteban, Abril, Rita and of course Joan with his bass making it all work so harmoniously 🥰

This is a favorite so I might have commented before. Great vocal and solos in front of a top-notch band. I really like that transition from Marçal to Joan Mar. I guess that credit goes to the arranger.
