Andrea Motis feat. by WDR BIG BAND - Señor Blues

The WDR BIG BAND performs together with Andrea Motis (vocals / trumpet) "Señor Blues", a composition by Horace Silver in an arrangement by Michael P. Mossman. Solos are played by Andrea Motis on trumpet, Jens Neufang on bass clarinet, Ruud Breuls on trumpet, Billy Test on piano and Andy Hunter on trombone. The WDR BIG BAND performs under the direction of Michael P. Mossman. Recorded at WDR Studio Bocklemünd (March 2021).
The young Spanish singer and trumpeter Andrea Motis is the most successful offspring so far from the talent factory of Joan Chamorro in Barcelona. She has released her music, which is strongly influenced by Latin American rhythms, in small formations on several CDs on well-known labels. At the invitation of the WDR BIG BAND, the American trumpeter, bandleader and arranger Michael P. Mossman has now written a program in large orchestral sound garb. In addition to a CD/LP, selected pieces were produced for video in the WDR television studios.

This is an extremely sophisticated arrangement of Horace Silver's classic. Each member is extremely top drawer. I didn't know the tune had lyrics. An exceptional production of this quality is a rarity.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

@ Internet Privacy Advocate - thank you for your kind words.

[@disculpateurdifferentiel4416]

Hi Oliver! 👍🙏

[@alessandrosabino84]

this girl is amazing

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Alessandro! Yeah, you are right, - this young lady is amazing!

[@henridelagardere264]

Silverware turned into the gold standard, this Señorita Blues will make you feel anything but blue. 5:15 _It ain't necessarily so_ that the WDRBB always has the Midas touch, but it seems that they're particularly inspired and groovy when accompanying Andrea Motis. They know she's a rare gem.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Henri! 👍

[@joecooke4131]

It's a great jam and they all play so well: it's a jazz orchestra! I loved the solos on bass clarinet and tenor trombone. The trumpet solo was played so well: I could close my eyes and imagine Arturo Sandoval playing the chart. It's not necessary to get stratospheric to be expressive--and expressive it was.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Joe! 🙏🙏🙏

[@jjbloyber]

If the great Nelson Riddle were alive today this is where he would be. Great studio band, arranging, playing, conducting and great work from Ms. Motis. I would like to see Andrea in a black felt cowboy hat with a chin string! Bravo.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi jam8854! 😎

[@rocketpost1]

Top-notch big band and all the brass instruments are very shiny as if they are being played for the first time. Of course the great Andrea on vocals and trumpet, adds something very special.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for your kind word, rocketpost1!

[@JoeTigheOnline]

Love her voice as she matures and it gets darker and smokey.

@@WDRBIGBAND Hello! Such a wonderful voice and improvisations. The next time I come to Spain, I shall have to attend one of your concerts. Also, I am a fan of all of the wonderful musicians you feature. It is quite rare to hear such an assembly of top talent. Finally, your sound engineers are some of the very best. Great productions.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for your kind words, Joe! We hope to play soon in front of our audience, - we are missing that. But - you have to come to Germany, because we are located in Cologne:)

[@pavelkratochvila6157]

Another musical gem. Horace´s composition in great arrangement of Mr. Mossman with wonderful Andrea Motis All solos are delightful.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

[@fritzjazz1]

Great band, soloists, arranged, sound and film! This is what is missing in the european jazz scene. Congratulation to all! It is real jazz in 10 mins. The bass clarinet sounds like Buddy DeFranco in 1966 with the Jazz Messengers (Blues Bag)

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Joe! 👍😎

[@bobtheroux3090]

Andrea - Horace would LOVE it!

[@ismaelcampos6006]

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Ismael! Thank you for watching us! Stay tuned, there will be some mor stuff with Andrea!

[@jazzyla9]

I pleyed this song in my dad's group when I was about 10 or 11 years old loved every minuet of it. As a young trumpet player I didn't have a clue what profound influence jazz would play in my life playing with dad, my brother ( Ronny on drums) my brother (Leonard on guitar) dad on piano and myself on bass also. This is one of the coolist versions of senior blues I have ever heard. You guys are the best. Leroy Allen

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi jazzyla9! Thank you for the nice story. Do not stopp making music! Music heals the world!

[@tetsuonamba8721]

I love the very colorful orchestration. The sax section is busy switching instruments and the trombones sound so beautiful.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Tetsuo, thanx to the arranger Michael P. Mossman:)

[@Traumburg1]

Congenial. It has been a great success to bring Andrea Motis and the WDR Bigband together. What a fantastic opportunity for a young artist like her. And a clever decision of the Big Band to invest in this great talent. Win win win! (The third win for the audience )

[@rodrigoromeu2789]

Just recently I started listening and discovering jazz, got to know Andrea trough Joan Chamorro's channel and so far it's been a ride! Super awesome to follow her career and development as a musician from the old videos where she was just a kid to most recent ones. She's been rocking for ages! Can't wait to see more of her on the future. Cheers from Brazil!

[@antoniogallen9799]

Una Motis en plena forma dá muestra de su versatilidad, siempre contenida y a la altura de cualquier contexto, del jazz más doméstico y natural al arreglo más relamido. Para qué hacerle esto al Sr. Blues. Genial Andrea !

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Thomas! Big thank you for watching us!

[@3DPDK]

It's so great to see and hear this young lady/artist mature in her music. I think she may have more understanding now of the English lyrics she sings, than when she was a teen. She seems to be more emotionally attached to what she is singing. She is also more fluid in her improvised trumpet phrasing - maybe more confident is the better way to describe it. In my opinion, she's not a "great" jazz trumpeter - yet, but her vocal stylizing has finally become her own, and her control is flawless ... as far as I'm concerned. Oh yes ... and 6:08 ; Andrea Motis has grown from a cute little girl into a very attractive young woman, ... too.

[@havardfurulund8914]
