Lullaby of Birdland - Andrea Motis Joan Chamorro Quintet & Scott Hamilton

This George Shearing classic is brilliantly arranged by Joan Chamorro for Andrea featuring awesome Grand, tenor sax and guitar solos.

[@williaminglis4754]

I have nursed my way through some depression by listening to this music for hours every day. This and Bossa nova are therapeutic and magnificent. 83yrs and counting

Wow after 69 years on this earth, I’ve found a wonderful modern group with outstanding musicians, including Andrea Motis who excels in her dual role. Wow. Thank you for making my day.

*YES very much unexpected & surprising isnt it ????*

[@osocool1too]

Nicholas Burque...that is my age.

[@mickram23]

The encouraging thing is there are more of them out there. The problem these days is that the likes of KZbin expose us to music we would never come across otherwise but it's spread so thinly that you probably never will. My only advise would be to click on any links to other music you get, you can always turn it off if you don't like it, but just maybe it could be the best thing you ever heard.

[@downhill240]

Horn players who can sing have the advantage of breathing correctly and staying on tempo so well. this lady nails it every time!!

[@jefflatten9321]

Andrea has an uncanny sense of timing, she knows just where to let it drift and then return. Beautiful.

True.

[@noragarza8628]

Absolutely

[@hind33r]

Ignasi is a awesome

[@vshagoyan]

The reverence the other musicians show during the piano solo, all eyes closed, unable to hide their grins, with complete attention to the music, is a testament to the composer, and more so to the God of music himself, JSB.

[@frantiseksanchez8426]

This looks like "Music in the Castle of Heaven", from that brilliant Baroque piano intro of master Ignasi Terraza till the end of the piece. I agree that the musicians seem to listen to Terraza with almost religious attitude.Still in shock!

[@TomTom-rh5gk]

The intro took my breath away. But I just discovered Andrea Motis and she a music goddess. She is one of the few singers who deserve an into like this.

[@robertturpie1463]

Please keep this jazz style alive. Your group is fantastic. It must not wither on the vine. It is jazz at it’s best. Jazz

[@emorejekul]

I thank these musicians for giving me the sense of hope, and make me stop thinking about suicide. I love the voices of the girls that sing, I love the instrumentalists as well. I love their whole organization.

[@RitaColacoNuminous]

Wow, that's amazing, turning a music into power, hope and fuel to keep going... Hope you can heal with time.✌

[@chrisbowen9043]

Piano preamble is luxurious. Then, Andrea and all fulfill this song more and more as it is being played. Just a phenomenal piece of music!

[@australianbloke3934]

I have lost count of the number of times I have listened to this. Not to take away from the performance as a whole but Ignasi Terraza's fugue style introduction is pure genius. Thank you.

Absolute genius, creation of a Bach fugue, and then the rhythm as it develops is sublime

[@ralfmulde7723]

The "Bach" intro is a real masterpiece by: "Ignasi Terraza (born 14 July 1962), is a Catalan jazz pianist. Blind from the age of 10, he currently leads his own jazz trio playing both standards and tunes composed by himself and the band members, Frenchmen Pierre Boussaguet on bass and Jean Pierre Derouard on drums. The trio has toured Spain, Portugal, France and Switzerland. Terraza was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. With a degree in Computer Engineering, after three years dividing his time between his profession and music, he decided to dedicate himself entirely to jazz in 1983" [Wiki]

[@ejmg1000]

Thank you for this important information about this excellent pianist.

[@toprak3479]

I was going "This sounds super neo-classical. Bach specifically." I'm proud of myself for guessing correctly.

[@lorenzschaetti8292]

Amazing pianist!

[@gregoriovelasquez]

Do you know where to find the music sheet of it?

[@edsmusic1000]

What can I say about Andrea, her vocals as well as her trumpet playing are Just a work of art.

[@perryparsons9960]

No doubt. I am amazed, at her coming in cold, in time, in tune and in tone, with several licks I can't play in the middle of the second set when I am at my best. Am just floored by such an incredible trumpeter and vocalist. That she is cute as a bug doesn't hurt either.

[@frankvellake2077]

that intro always brings tears ...so magnificent

[@Jacob99174]

I can’t stop staring at Andrea. She’s so beautiful, and her voice only makes her that much more beautiful!

[@hoangtran-gf3gd]

What a gem of a band! All members are top quality artists!

[@MarkPatten]

That piano intro is genius. Andrea is on the money so well for one so young. As for the Maestro who stays in the background on Bass... well, I just raise my glass and tip my hat. 'Nuf said...

[@jackschneiberg5644]

This happens all too often lately: I sit down to get a quick fix of Andrea and 2 hours later I'm still here. She is so magical in all she does. Adding in the Joan Chammoro arrangements and filler pieces makes a pretty irresistible combination. I am a "goner" on this group of people. That piano intro was magnificent.

Andrea's voice fills the soul... What an incredible talent! I close my eyes as I listen to enjoy every note....of her voice and trumpet playing.

[@RalphDratman]

What a thrill to hear this! Andrea's vocals on this wonderful tune are a jolt of hot coffee in the early morning. I can't stop listening.

[@fredericsuffet253]

Just wonderful. Re a prior comment: notice how intently the others in the band listen to Terraza's intro--they dig it, for sure. (The audience gets it, too.) Playing a chorus or two of a tune in classical style has a long tradition in jazz, sort of the mirror of "jazzin' the classics." When jazz gets so solemn that it can't indulge in a bit of good-humored crossover, it'll be dead. And here it's done brilliantly, with wit and musical invention.

[@LouisRodrigues]
