Para uno de ellos se me ocurrió la idea de juntar a todos los músicos con los que había grabado un CD de la colección de los “presentas”. Eran 15 músicos y casi podía formar una big band: Andrea Motis, Eva Fernández, Magalí Datzira, Rita Payés, Marc Martín, Joan Mar Sauqué, Èlia Bastida, Joan Codina, Alba Armengou, Carla Motis, Joana Casanova, Jan Domènech, Marçal Perramon, Joan Martí y Alba Esteban.

Carla va bientôt rattraper Andréa, Eva est au top tout comme le Band. Un plaisir à chaque écoute. Merci à Joan et à tous !

[@jean-louisdevred3185]

Un thème superbe qui n'est pas un classique du jazz, un big band de feu dirigé par Maestro Joan et deux solistes époustouflantes: la discrète et talentueuse Carla, éblouissante ici et Eva dont le solo est magnifique, somptueux, les mots me manquent... Merci à tous, c'est vraiment très beau!

[@dexterpaul7871]

Nice Carla, really enjoyed Eva’s contribution here👍, and of course Joan’s arrangement and the band’s execution

[@tomzappe1254]

I'm hearing some nice overtones of Johnny Hodges in Eva's playing.

[@robertopimentel2920]

Great, everyone of course! But here, special accolades To Eva Fernandez and Carla Motis.

[@wesaf4675]

Carla is cool, swinging inventiveness! Marvelous solo by Eva! Superlative band!!

[@olnewjazzja5282]

and a super (alt) saxo player

[@patmccarthy]

This is fantastic on every level. So tight and great solos from everyone.Thanks

[@parsnipfingers]

What a fantastic band. Congratulations, and bravo (and thank you for posting these).

[@valenticasanovas9074]

He escoltat dues vegades seguides la vostra magistral interpretació, la primera a la tableta, la segona, l'he connectat l'equip d'alta fidelitat. Meravellosa interpretació.!!! Gràcies infinites i felicitats Artistes.!!!!

[@robertvanruyssevelt7159]

A very sparkling professional rendition of a work by someone new to me: Toshiko Akiyoshi is a Japanese-American jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader and graduate of Berklee College of Music. Akiyoshi received fourteen Grammy Award nominations and was the first woman to win Best Arranger and Composer awards in Down Beat magazine's annual Readers' Poll. Born: 12 December 1929 (age 93 years), Liaoyang, China

[@Shadismic]

All these stars on one Stage.❤ And Carla, the silent Queen of perfection. ❤

[@melvinenos2781]

Absolutely superb Maestro Chamorro!! I great seeing this footage from one of the 2021 reunions!! Carla playing so chill as her usual and the great Eva with her talent on full display! What a treat it was for those in attendance to see these top members of the SAJB ! Thanks to you all especially Maestro Chamorro!👏

[@Platon7161]

Super Carla ! Et tout l'orchestre . Bravo !

[@fliprim]

This is surely peak band? Solid gold each member. Carla cool, crisp and collected. Eva doing what she always excels at, creating the most attractive solos, and the others so sharp it seems unreal...

[@TN-D18]

Thank you Joan for posting such wonderful music to YT. Much appreciated.

[@pavelkratochvila6157]

Wonderful unisono and solo of Carla. Great Eva, Magalí, the whole band, bravo! 💞👍

[@theshowmanuk]

Wow ! What a blast ! Superb, absolutely wonderful ! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@alaintichadou5612]

Bravo Melle Motis.Que de progrès accomplis !

[@olnewjazzja5282]

super guitar player Great

[@ronaldunkel2681]

Japanese pianist/composer/band leader Toshiko’s intricate composition, and excellently performed by Joan’s stellar Big Band, folks. Great sound and kudos to you all! Hooroo’s & Cheers!

[@dantesbarbati7519]

Que bien suenan todos precisos y compactos . Abrazo grande

[@carlosfranco1353]

La guitarra de Carla Motis ofrece un encanto especial al grupo de músicos, sencilla, precisa, melodiosa. Ya no encuentro aquellos pequeños entre los músicos, son jóvenes caminando hacia la adultez, a disfrutar estos momentos juntos inmortalizados en los videos, todavía no aparecen lentes para vista cansada para leer partituras: "La gloria de la juventud".

[@strings41]

Great playing, Carla & all!

[@sergio_ssa_ba]

🇧🇷 Chuva da talentos. 🇧🇷

[@giovannicalzolaio2479]

Bravissima Carla, Bravissima Eva!!! This is wonderful!!! And thank you, Joan!!!😊

[@marchandesermf2854]

Great big band ! Awesome musicians .....Tank you for sharing .....

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Toshiko Akiyoshi is still with us at 93 years of age. Hope she gets to hear this wonderful rendition!

[@williamcrock9551]

Toshiko came to the U.S. in the fifties to attend Berklee School of Music and appeared on the television show "What's My Line?" in 1956 !

[@LAURACastilloRuiz-yp1ij]

Fabulosos como siempre Felicidades a todos viva el jazz viva Joan Chamorro 🥰❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️😘

[@boulejazz]

Exceptional teaching! Very difficult to motivate young jazz musicians to listen, play tastefully, and tell a story when they solo. Guitar, very interesting solo with original ideas developing. Beautiful alto solo sound. Congratulations to all!

[@glyndavies]

An absolute delight from start to finish!

[@melcalgary5306]

I love big band jazz and this group is as good as it gets. Bravo SAJB

[@captlarry-3525]

Love the little smile on Eva's face when she's played her solo so perfectly, it's undeniable. Are these the most beautiful and soulful, brilliant women in the world ? I think so.

[@LouisRodrigues]

Hello Joan, it's been a while since I viewed your videos. It looks like I've missed out on a lot of action. Your kids have come a long way since I first got exposed to the SAJB. I'm glad Carla has gained the confidence to flawlessly solo thanks to her mentor; Josep Traver. Her solo on Django' 'Minor Swing' alongside Josep back in 2013 was my first exposure to her skills and she's come a long way since then. Here, Carla is a mix of Galbraith/Hall/Metheny. Awesome. Best to all.

[@matthiasbaumann8569]

Toller Sound…..und absolut präzises Spiel👍👍👍

[@luiselguera7056]

Eva demuestra aquí un talento y capacidad de composición a la altura cualquier gran exponente histórico del saxo alto en la historia del jazz. Un gran aplauso!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

This is really a thight playing! If I close my eyes I can hear it even better. Congrats to all in the band, but specially to Carla Motis and Eva Fernandes!

[@chriscocks3670]

Bravo encore. A really tough piece but not one note or one beat out. You are all maestros!

[@billlee5307]

Fantastic swinging rendition! Great solos!

[@hiroshiaraki3879]

It's the first time I've heard a performance covering Toshiko Akiyoshi's representative song "Long Yellow Road"! .

[@robertbudnik3318]

Phenomenal! What a great, tight score! Quite a toe tapper! Love your work, keep it coming!

[@lordflatusvanritz]

Bravo 👏

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The more I listen to this, the more I love it. Thanks, Joan Chamorro!!!

[@VictorPuelman]

Suena increíble como siempre...Gracias por toda esa música

[@luizoliveira8696]

it's beautiful to see Carla on the front line. She deserves!

[@franckvoindrot932]

J apprécie Carla Motis pour la sobriété de son jeux loin de l avalanche de notes de certains et du chorus très sympa d' Eva Fernandez ...merci pour ce Bing band et votre musique Mr Chamorro ...

[@dwahnaslowdown8887]

Short, but very nice.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I like the Eva Fernandes solo at 2:55. It really touches my heart.

[@mauriziocarbone7127]

Certo che Eva e Magal' insieme sono una meraviglia!

[@EnjoyableJazz]

私はジャズを愛する日本人です。 スペインの皆様に、秋吉敏子さんの名曲Long Yellow Roadを演奏していただき、本当に感謝をしています😊😊 第二次世界大戦中、秋吉敏子さんの両親は、日本陸軍が中国に作った傀儡国家、満州へ開拓団の一員として移住していました。 そこで生まれた秋吉敏子さんが少女時代に現地で見た、果てしなく続く満州の黄色い土の道路の思い出として、彼女はこの作品を作曲しました。 これは悲しい戦争の思い出の曲です。私たち人類は、決して悲惨な戦争を繰り返してはなりません。

[@JoanChamorro]

情報のおかげで。 Sant Andreu (バルセロナ-スペイン) からの大きなハグ ❤❤

[@jorgerojas4854]

Es de familia esto de ser músicos, excelente Carla 👏👏👏

[@moisesespiritosanto2195]

Hi, I'm from São Paulo! Muito bom!

[@artetete]

¡¡¡¡ Pero como al maestro Chamorro, no le han puesto su nombre a una rotonda o una calle directamente en BARCELONA CAPITAL, en agradecimiento por lo que dedica a la enseñanza y como enseña a amar la música de calidad a los jóvenes como hace el....'¡¡¡¡

[@ernstzlo]

Absolutely GREAT. ❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏

[@tomm3417]

The girl on guitar always makes these presentations perfect!!!

[@martinbreslow1401]

The composer Toshiko Akiyoushi is 92 and still performing: e.g. 2022 in Tokyo kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX-QZGmCmNOFmNk

[@simpleysteve2536]

The whole ensemble is outstanding!

[@corassao1]

👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋BRAVI!!!!!!!!

[@pedroantoniogarciagutierrez]

Fascinante... me he quedado pillado con el tema. Gracias por el vídeo, Maestro.

[@fernandogimenez4105]

Metales afinados e ritmo siempre preciso son una pasion, la big és fabulosa, todas las estrellas juntas.❤ Hace ya um tiempito no la escucho cantar, igual el solo le quedo maravilloso. Bravo Carla, Eva y todos. Gracias 🎉

[@Leonard_Smith]

Congratulations Joan, you did it again 👏 ❤

[@giannisnaoum4069]

Fantastic

[@ИгорьФрост-ш9р]

✌

[@soundlimit300]

Very nice.

[@mosheacimanbehar7535]

La presencia siempre discreta (¿tal vez tímida?) de Carla no puede esconder que tiene un gran talento.

[@desenhagem2518]

Muito lindo mesmo. Belo espetáculo parabéns!

[@Jacqueline.salvas]

Bravo maestro Avec vos étudiants, vous réalisez des bijoux de d’œuvres musicales 🎵 ❤

[@ulrichhauser-ehninger7669]

Whenever I listen to JOAN CHAMORRO's 'Children Band' my jaw drops.

[@oldfarmshow]

Waiting

[@Lodewikus]

bis

[@mcknottee]

Bravo!

[@boydx4687]

The guitar soloist picked such interesting and beautiful notes in her solo. I think her tone is fine. I've listened the Akiyoshi/ Tabacken band's recording dozens of times and played it in bands myself. I think this is my favorite version of the tune. These young musicians sound like they've been playing together for years. How do they do it?!!!

[@jimmyj1969]

Well... they DO play together for years!

[@alanlevin167]

For more detail: Most of these folks joined this band at age 12 or so (some at 6 or 8) and have played with the band till they 'graduated' at 21 or so years. They then can play in festivals and events with the band as they wish. Most seems to show up for large festivals---like this concert. So, most have played with the SAJB for 10 or more years. By the way, all of these years are well documented here on KZbin if you look around.

[@boris4393]

Dank diesen jungen Menschen hat JAZZ sichere Zukunft! Danke Dir Joan!

[@michaelblaha4601]

Not happy having mist this tune of Mistres Cool some long months. Anyway, love her performance & thanking her companions for their exzellent support !

[@johno2979]

Good to hear Carla play. She has gotten to be quite the professional.
