2011 ALL TOO SOON ANDREA MOTIS JESSE DAVIS SANT ANDREU JAZZ BAND JOAN CHAMORRO DIRECCION 

Holá desde Brasil !!! Estoy absolutamente enamorado de Andrea Motis, aunque ella tenga edad para ser mi nieta !!!! Alguién tiene que hacer um monumento por gratitud a Joan Chamorro por haber despertado el gusto por la musica de calidad en estos chicos !

What a night the day that day November 30, 2011 at the Palau. Perhaps the best concert that Sant Andreu has given in its entire history, together with the "out of competition" for the 15th anniversary. I have already compiled almost a dozen videos of different songs. Jesse Davis, Wycliffe Gordon and Ricard Gili with the kids from the band from that wonderful and unrepeatable era, Andrea Motis and Alba Armengou in the lead, singing, playing and even dancing, one an adolescent and the other a girl, but with the talent and mastery of the stage only reserved for geniuses appointed by the gods. In this particular video Andrea plays a beautiful and evocative Sir Duke song on alto sax, hand in hand with the great (in every way) Jesse Davis. And from face to face, without detracting at all, fully enduring the comparison with the consecrated American musician. And only 16 years old. Davis's looks and smiles, his sincere congratulations to Andrea at the end of the song, said it all: a star had been born.

MULTI talented Andrea Motis. Great vocals and trumpet, but this sax performance is stunning! Brava!!!

Her phrasing is perfect. Intonation is so sweet.

Magnificent! Beautiful sax playing from both of them. Andrea is fantastic on sax, I wish she play more saxophone. During lockdown I have seen RU-vid videos of Ms Motis on Alto sax and tenor sax, trumpet, vocals and then find that she also writes songs (words and music). It is insane that someone has so much talent. I will try to get to see her play live if this band comes to England and if this virus ever ends! Mr Chamorro, these young people who are younger than my children are fantastic and make me think that there is still a really great future for this type of music which I love.

I can't hold the tears back. For a minute I thought Johnny was back with us. Andrea captured it perfectly. I have tried to sound that sweet for decades, and could never come this close. Johnny has been gone since 1969...I thought the world would never hear anything like this again.Thank you all so much. Good Jazz lives on and on forever.

I love her vocals and trumpet playing, but this soulful sax is the best. It bring me to tears each time I hear it, especially when he kisses her calls her “baby girl”.

Andrea you must live and breathe your craft. So talented trumpet, sax, and your voice ... is something to behold. Thanks so much.

Andrea was so young here and yet her sensitivity is outstanding. She has a natural ability to display the mood of any song through sax, trumpet or her voice. There's a big difference between that and just hitting the notes.

When you make the pro smile when you play you know you’re there! She’s amazing.

I love to revisit the early videos of Andrea and the SAJB, which I find as enchanting as the very first time I saw these marvellous talented kids. They have all grown up into very fine jazz musicians, ,many have left the SAJB but they have all given us many years of enjoyment, and these early videos are there as their testament. Marvellous video of the adolescent Andrea showing us what she could do.

Wow! Still discovering gems here. What a talent this Andrea is!

This is totally insane to watch these kids play like this I've been a musician close to 40 years and by watching this makes want to retire Mr CHAMORRO you are doing one heck of a job buy teaching these kids the gift of music

Wow, this girl!! Stunning performance. ✨ (Hope one day I will dance this masterpiece with my husband on my wedding day!) 😅

Watched this now maybe six times , maybe twelve times and when it started I just reflexively went Oh My Gosh ! It just sweeps over you as do so many of Andrea's performances with Joan Chamorro. Youth band or pro band - - all so amazing. Takes ones breath away . Takes my breath away anyway .

It takes tremendous discipline to play saxophone so soft and low. Very tasteful sound, Bravo!!!!

This is absolutely beautiful. First time I’ve heard Andrea play a sax solo. I love it!!

Just now I discovered this track, twelve years late. Lis'nin 'n' watching Andreas solo starting @ 1:00 ( & 2nd time @ 2:50 ) is overwhelming. She's soo deep in the tunes, emotionally phrasing every chord, ev'ry note. Think, if not the best track ever, it's at least one of her ever greatest - just announcing what she will give when finally grown up.

One of my all time favourites. Watched it many times. I hope to live to an old age, just to be able to watch it again many times. Thank you.

What a beautiful smile Andrea has.........It''s real...........

Andrea’s intonation is World Class - she’s so freaking amazing!!

What? I didn't even know she played the sax too. I've only heard here play the trumpet so far. And sing of course!

Holy cow this girl is amazing - She has such a beautiful voice singing Dream a little dream in another video and also kills it on sax and trumpet 🎺- what an amazingly talented young person she is 👏👍

As someone else pointed out, notice that after performing such an inspired sax solo, she returns to the TRUMPET section of the band. Amazing.

Andrea Motis : how gifted you are !!!! Thank you for your talent !

Aquel dia nacio una estrella q ya nadie puede parar...Saxofonista, trompetista, cantante....Andrea es high level de jazz🔝

Andrea delivers a sweet, mellow alto sax solo on this arrangement. Her tone equals Jesse's tone. Outstanding effort!!!

I don't know how many times I heard this but I keep coming back to this beautiful music. Wonderful!

Flows smooth. Beautiful. Heavenly beautiful.

😭😭😭😭 She's amazing Her tone made me feel my 1 year of learning the saxophone is just the beginning... I need a good teacher😫😫😫😫

Andrea's musical versatility is awesome, and dare I add that she is easy on the eye as well.

I've just sobbed my way through this twice and can't take any more! How do these musicians convey so much emotion and how can young Andrea be so astonishingly good. I'm breathless and in awe of such talent. My Dad was a sax player of great talent and it was like listening to him again. What talent, both of them reflected each other's feel and tone and that's rarely heard.

Just stunning how someone so young can play so well. Thought I was listening to Johnny Hodges. Love the way Andrea can bend notes. Joan, what joy and beauty you have brought into this world. What a legacy you are creating. Thank you!!

Bravo Andea. Wind instruments...wow

Tengo 35 años tocando saxofon..y he escuchado muchos niños...jovenes que tocan excelente el sax...pero esta young girl...da su alma en cada nota...algo que nunca me habia tocado escuchar en un joven..

Beautiful, what a tune and so well played, the young lady Andrea is awesome!!!!

Can’t believe this is so long ago! Just as fresh as when I first heard this beautiful arrangement, played so well. Absolutely love it. Thanks !!

That was perfect! Joy to listen to. ❤️

Listening to Andrea bend her way up to that high note is pure pleasure. Love the concentration on her face.

I was bought up surrounded by classical music and, via my brother, jazz. High levels of muscianship and hard won technique is taken for granted in the classical genre. People might assume that in jazz that very high level of technique is not so vital, but remember that in jazz it is not merely playing the right notes , there are considerable subtleties in phrasing and intonation and of course marrying this with improvisation. As someone commented on another post about Andrea, "Does she realise how good she is" . And what adds an endearing quality to her performances is her modesty understated reaction to audience appreciation.

And the student becomes another master.

O my God! She is absolutely awesome! So young! Sounds like Johnnie Hodges!!

This is a smooth sax duo. In my opinion, this is Andrea's best sax solo. It flows smoothly with a sweat tone. What can I say about Jesse. His solo is sweet.

She is an incredible talent. A fresh sound to this timeless music. I will watch them all grow with pleasure.

Savršeno , bravo ! Suze oduševljenja same teku .

I hope these early performances of SAJB and soloists are properly archived! They are national treasures.

She plays trumpet even better in my opinion. Very good vocalist too. So much in one small package. Barcelona must be proud.

Une merveille, Andréa est une musicienne née ! Aussi talentueuse à la trompette qu'au sax, elle a une sensibilité à part...un immense bonheur à l'écouter. Merci ❤❤

Oh my god 🎷🎵🎼 🎶 I m in Heaven, again............. Wonderful

So many emotions with the sax solo she played! I’m at a loss of words. She is definitely an inspiration.

Beautiful playing by all. Hard to believe the standard achieved by Andrea at such a young age.

I can listen this all day long................................

Great. Even Jesse Davis is deeply impressed. What a smile at 3:35.

Wonderful talent. The training these young people have has been sharpened to the talent of maturity that I have never heard before. Thanks

Andrea Motis is fantastic!!! I love her voice, tones on the trumpet and Saxophone. She's a newborn star. Please help her stay away from drugs and narcotics!

Without the video,I might have imagined that I was listening to the rabbit himself. She has such a mature concept and captured a true essence of Johnny's sweet glissando.

Another great video that once again highlight the reason why Music must be taught at all grade levels. This young lady is an Old Soul, so think about what she can share with the young souls in her school.

Qué grandes Jesse Davis & Andrea Motis! No me canso de escucharos.

Beautiful - Johnny Hodges will be smiling down on this one.

Andrea motis is just amazing young talent Joan Chamorro is doing a great job

Excellent ...It reminds me of Johnny Hodges ...full of expression.

Without exaggeration, since this was first published on RU-vid, I have watched this video a 100 times. Each time I find myself holding my breath on Andrea’s solos. Her emotion is an expression of my heart that overwhelms me and often so with moist eyes. 🎺💐

My goodness so beautiful 🎷👌

Wow! What a great mix of talent of the young and the experience! Wonderful!

Andrea Motis is a terrific young talent.

Andrea, you're just wonderful. Such a great talent.

Another fine and heartfelt performance by Andrea nad Jesse. The way Andrea plays this tune is as if she had experienced some event that ended really too soon. Thanks to the entire band for this lovely, insightful performance.

Wow, Andrea even at that age matching Jesse, shoulders hunched up she's feeling that number, and so are we. Love, love, love.

I don't know how much better it can get, love the sound.

She was born in 1995, so about 16 years old -precocious talent

Incredible talent.....Andrea Motis......wonderful sound .....Thanks a lot!

Un estilo para tocar el saxofón de los años 40s, en una señorita muy joven, hay un talento "reencarnado" que definitivamente, solo puedo decir: EXTRAORDINARIO!

Lovely, Lovely, Lovely ....what more can I say , what a heavenly mood created by those two !!!

I would like to hear Andrea play saxophone more often. This is beautiful.

Precocious talent on view. Ease and alacrity mark Andrea's playing. This is truly amazing stuff and so very reassuring. Jazz will surely flourish. God Bless Joan Chamorro. God Bless his band of young, immensely gifted musicians, and may their tribe increase.

I stopped playing sax a good few years ago but after hearing these genius talents I am going to play my sax clarinet flute again inspirational

Everything below plus kudos for her sense of time and phrasing... two thumbs up... more if I had them.

Insanely gifted! I’m still shaking my head in wonder and awe! Wow!

Elle a vraiment la musique dans le sang comme tous les jeunes dans cet orchestre bravo au chef

She is flat out killin it. Bravo.

When someone plays sax with love...... flow beautiful notes that harmonize the soul .... and bring your feelings to a musical climax ..... thank you Andrea and Jesse for sharing your beautiful feelings and great talent........ transmisión de luz en hermosos sentimientos plasmados en sonido y tiempo......

OMG I’m just blown away!!! 😎 thank you for sharing your talent!!

Saxophone glissando doesn't get any sweeter than this. Amazing talent. Can't wait to come over and see you guys , en vivo.

Those glissandos so fiddle with my heart

She is incredible. Need to see this in person. Any kind of Sax puts me in a mood.
