Thanks for your analysis, Jeff. Rita Payés was 19 years old in this video and was already a veteran of the Big Band of the San Andreu Jazz School, the best school, without a doubt, in Spain (and one of the best in Europe). He started school when he was only 8 years old. Spain had not traditionally been a very favorable place for jazz, but that has changed a lot since the last decades of the last century. As for Davis Whitfield, who is from New York, he is a sensitive and (you're right) risk-taking pianist. A beautiful duo

It warms my heart to see younger folk keeping this style of music alive. So much talent here.

She's still doing it. Search "Rita Payes I Cover the Waterfront", then her own composition "No Home No, WDR Rita Payes"

This is one of my favorite episodes on this channel. What a community full of surprises. This one gives me a hankering for Chet Baker and Oscar Peterson. Totally live and soooo cool! Thanks!

Rita does wildly different things; from insanely experimental jazz with Kaleidoscope, Hip Hop (?) "Sweet Little Lies" with brother Eudald and Mabreezee, to her own string quartet and voice "Tantas Cosas (live video)" like a female Walt Whitman set to early Bartok.

She gigs with jazz bassist and educator Joan Chamorro in Spain. (In spite of the spelling Joan is a guy). There are several young jazz musicians both male and female under his tutelage. Check him out.

Rita Payés, another former student of the famous youth big band Sant Andreu Jazz Band, from Barcelona. Another of those SAJB alumni is Andrea Motis, whom you already know.

Holiday for sure....but I was struck with a feeling of Vaughan as well.

Shades of Billie Holiday! Intentional? Who cares! Trombone along with piano, that sounds like the best of piano bar music.

Rita never had formal singing lessons, to her great advantage. A consummate musician, with her uncanny ear, she can get lip length and tension and slide position perfect at the start of each note and thus an ability to play softly and with great purity (no need for that "fake note" razzing sound lesser players need to cover their mismatch). Thus she has a trombone sound, on her K&H Bart van Lier, as soft and delicious as her own voice. But she has none of those vocal mannerisms beloved of jazz singers and opera singers and the like, the sccops, swoops and trills of their trade. Early performances show her adoption of the rhythm and dynamics of ordinary speech and its emotional heft, made into music. (Skylark 2016). Here, where others merely sing a song about a sad event, Rita IS a young woman hurt in Love.

She plays into a big mouthpiece two thirds the way up. She pushes the mouthpiece down to shorten lip length and increase lip tension. A great contrast in sound production is between the two trom solos on 2017 Lover Come Back to Me Sant Andreu Jazz Band. The first with fake note splutter then Rita's buttery sound.
