JOAN CHAMORRO OCTET PLAY LUIGI GRASSO'S ARRANGEMENTS
FEATURING PASQUALE GRASSO
Joan Chamorro saxo baritono
Luigi Grasso saxo alto
Joan Martí saxo tenor
Rita Peyés trombón
Joan Mar Sauqué trompeta
Paquale Grasso guitarra
Luca Pisani contrabajo
Esteve Pi bateria
grabado en la sala jamboree
Este trabajo es el segundo volumen de una coleccón dedicada a la figura del arreglista, que muchas veces pasa desapercibida, pero que tanta importancia tiene en formaciones en donde se requiere escribir para varios instrumentos de viento, desde quinteto , sexteto hasta la formación standard de bigband.
El primer volumen estuvo dedicado al gran músico, compositor y arreglista, Alfons Carrascosa. Ahora son los arreglos de Luigi Grasso ( algunos originales y otros basados en arreglos grabados en los años 50) y casi todos los temas son del gran pianista y compositor Tad Dameron .
En este nuevo CD, tenemos la participación de Pasquale Grasso, un guitarrista excepcional con una técnica depurada y un lenguaje y estilo propios, basados en el bebop. La sólida base rítmica se completa con el contrabajista italiano Luca Pisani y nuestro batería habitual, Esteve Pi. En esta ocasión, los vientos son todos componentes de mi proyecto Sant Andreu Jazz Band, todos muy buenos instrumentistas y cada vez mejor solistas : Joan Mar Sauqué y Victor Carrascosa, trompetas, Joan Codina, trombón, Rita Payés, tromboón y voz, Joan Martí, saxo tenor, Marçal Perramon, saxo tenor y clarinete y Max Salgado, trompa

82 years old and I have to say.......I love bebop......Thank You

[@GaylordBuzzard]

Over the past few years it's been a pleasure watching Joan Mar grow from a really good young player to a really good player period. And that is one great solo by Rita.

[@rayvalencia6726]

Great to hear the Maestro steppin’ out on the baritone!

[@millereitan]

Mr Chamorro you are an amazing person! I observe your work with all the musicians from the Municipal School of Music of Sant Andreu! thay have big luck to have a LID Professor like you ! I will see you and andrea motis in Haifa today and I am very happy you are coming to ISRAEL ! its a big Honor for us to have you here .

[@Qboro66]

O M G!!! I LOVE RITA PAYÉS!❤❤❤

[@marklovescadaques]

Bebop still alive, and how ! Great arrangement, really first-class soloists, and "baby" Rita is doing just fine !

[@viemonphilippe8438]

Très bel orchestre. Super arrangement. Le mec qui a fait ça a tout compris. Mention spéciale à Joan Mar Sauqué. Une nouvelle étoile dans le ciel chamoréen. Magnifique trompettiste !!!

[@billhamelin9502]

Outstanding! That's all I can say! Every single soloist was so wonderful - What an excellent piece, and great arrangement.

[@charlesbarry6730]

Good music never dies: the genre does not matter. The band is tight. Great playing.

[@charlesbarry6730]

Big band bebop. Congrats Joan.

[@rolfanderson3525]

terrific, great arrangement, great solos. Thanks to all the great musicians

[@paanikki]

What a HOT bebop-performance! All soloists are on fire, especially trumpeter Joan Mar Sauque has outdone himself (again). The rhythm group (led by Pasquale Grasso) has a fantastic groove! Just a small correction/addition: The composer's name is Tadd (with dd) Dameron. Composed in 1945.

[@JoanChamorro]

thank you !!

[@mizougue]

Magnifique!

[@extanegautham8950]

been listening to jazz since the mid 60s... 2 instruments i never liked before were baritone sax and trombone...love Joan, and his student, bari....and love Rita's trombone, and the tall boy who plays, his too...

[@ovestrandberg8126]

wow...i adore you sophisticated way of arranging this immortal bebop evergreen...you are unique

[@eytonshalom]

That guitar solo is breathtaking, I dont personally enjoy trombone, but i will listen to Rita P anyday, and this solo was especially good, Joan plays as if Sonny Rollins were on Baritone, and that's a big compliment, and the trumpet solo? Dizzy? and a good time was had by all...! Praise God I'm Satisfied!

[@pavel78f]

Luigi super! Bravo!

[@cisco4382]

No me canso de escuchar tu musica, tu grupo, es algo fantástico para mi.

[@fspike2469]

Paquale Grasso's guitar solo. Overall everyone contributed excellently. Thank you for this great music.

[@omarbranquinho8531]

Como sempre espetacular. Parabéns! Verdadeiro Jazz direto da Catalunha!

[@monsieurPessoa]

Back in the golden age of BeBop : thank you for this magic record :)

[@kristinajakovljevic7761]

Fantastic!!! ❤❤👏👏

[@sitarnut]

Rita! Killin' it....

[@HenkKoekkoek]

How can this talented circle of young people connected to the Sant Andreu jazzband be this Large? I see new faces every time! Something magical is going on in Barcelona

[@hank1519]

I have asked the same question on YT and really can't buy the 'rational' explanations :)

[@HenkKoekkoek]

@@hank1519 could you direct me to the, let's say, most interesting one of those explanations? Anyway, it's magic over there in Barcelona , isn't it

[@hank1519]

@@HenkKoekkoek Sorry, I wouldn't know how to locate those comments. Maybe it will studied some day like the Italian Renaissance has been studied. That also seems like a miracle!

[@mypockets1]

Amazing !!!!! Well Done !!!!

[@matzrappold4325]

nach wie vor die besten Jazzer in europa- swingend jazzzig super !!!

[@viggosimonsen]

Great trombone solo

[@dmitripetrov666]

omg all of the solos are killin

[@martinroberts8469]

It's amazing to think these old bebop standards (over 70 years in this case) can still sound so fresh. Compositions such as this seem to bring out the best in musicians with an aptitude for this idiom, as evidenced in this totally dynamic performance. Feel the heat !

[@joedeluciad2484]

I still believe we are behind bud powell. He was the only guy to take Bird's stuff to the next level. Then a load of shit came when people realised they could make commercial money. Miles fronted it.

[@martinroberts8469]

JoeDeLucia D - I guess you have a point here; I think the turning point was when Powell took a severe beating (by police?) in 1947 from which he never really recovered. This must have lessened his chances of progressing beyond the "next level" and holding back the development of bebop as he may have envisioned it. Also, the fact that much of his time in his remaining years was spent in and out of psychiatric institutions probably played a part in assisting the creeping-in of the commercialism you speak of.

Outstanding line up featuring some new talent for me, an old cool school beboper. Joan always pleases as a performer, leader and purveyor of fresh talent! Kudos Sir!

[@josejazz]

qué bien suena eso, qué maravilla

[@anacristina3674]

Ah!!! Lindo!

[@dongaetano3687]

Holy Smoke!!! that was swinging. Great arrangement and playing by my paesanos the Great Grasso brothers. I'll highlight Joan Mar's trumpet solo in this one. Might be the best I've seen him do but he is a great young musician for sure. But everyone really played it well, very well. Love that high speed, smooth cruising beat ...(is it called 2-4 or 4-4 as my high school jazz friend used to mention back in the late 1960's. He played sax and drums and went to Berkley in Boston. His dad played the Contrabajo ) ...Esteve was flying along through that one. Great way to start the day for me....thanks everyone! Oh, one thought I occasionally mention....How about a mic a bit closer to the base ? Love that mellow sound. Have a good one, D

[@axcel9412]

Super!! :)

[@plexiseagull]

Hey, great!

[@martinroberts8469]

It is said that the descending two-note motif frequently used denoting the end of a bebop phrase or solo - 0:10 ; 0:36 ; 0:53 ; 3:28 ; 5:44 - actually gave rise to the name " Bebop"! I believe it was Dizzy Gillespie who came up with the idea ... well, he would, wouldn't he ?!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Luigi Grasso! He can play! Its like a whole chicken-farm lifting to the sky, in the most wonderful way...

[@nicolasblondel5501]

Yeahhhh !!

[@juangenesyjazz]

Muy bueno!!👍

[@ryo_s_17]

The guitar solo holy moly that was FIRE

[@arrigoriccardoagosti9834]

comunque -sempre complimenti-ho citato NIGHT IN TUNISIA non conoscendo l'originale di TADD DAMERON (sono un analfabeta del pentagramma)complimenti all'arranger Luigi Grasso e Mr Jazz Joan Chamorro.. grazie!

[@TheFra091]

fate Paurissima!!!! wowwww

[@fliprim]

Slowly but surely I'm being turned into a hard jazz fan, not just my usual dilletante. The "octet" and Luigi's arrangements make for exciting, compelling experiences. Time after time. I think these are classic in their own right. The Rita moment here is another of her gobsmacked head shaking in disbelief moments 2:50 as JMS narrowly avoids a burst blood vessel. Luigi looks approvingly at this new convert to high voltage jazz. Zzap!

[@youyouric]

Yeeeeeees !

[@arrigoriccardoagosti9834]

ottimo come tutti - MA 1 domanda=probabilmente !_mi sembra il giro armonico di NIGHT IN TUNISIA così al volo e ad ora tarda-scusate-complimenti e grazie!

[@StompL7]

Great! But why all those music stand?

[@glibsonoran]

Hot! :)

[@WilliamAiken]

That first solo was pretty hip

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

The six string octopus strikes again!

[@davidstevens8979]

Are my eyes deceiving me or is that Joan Martí on tenor sax and not Marçal ?

[@JoanChamorro]

you're right ... it's already corrected

[@martinbreslow1401]

I just discovered that Luigi Grasso had an octet called the Luigi Grasso New York Allstar Session with his brother Pasquale and Stefano Doglioni on bass clarinet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a36XgmhnaqqYpM0 one of the videos. I couldn't find a CD. However, saxophonist Chris Byars formed a sextet that included Pasquale and Stefano and recorded the CD New York City Jazz in 2018 and 2 or 3 additional CDs with the same group.

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Is the alto player the guitarist’s brother?

[@federicor9956]

Yes!! Two Italian treasures

[@IRACEMABABU]

That's a lead trumpet !
