Beautiful!!! So great to see Carla featured in this video! Love her tender touch on strings as well as Jan!! They complement each other very well ! Finally, Scott’s magic on sax, works every time!! Joan , thank you 🙏🏽
Close your eyes and you're in a club in the mid 50's and listening to West Coast Jazz at its best. Chet Baker is down the block playing the same song. Wonderful, and thanks to all.
More than any other genre of popular music, jazz reaches across and connects the generations. That is wonderfully evident here. When I listen to Carla here, I am so reminded of the great Johnny Smith, probably one of the top 5 jazz guitarists ever. And, Scott Hamilton--one of the best jazz tenor saxophonists alive today, and one of the best ever. Not to mention a great rhythm section. I have yet to figure out how Joan Chamorro can take young children and inspire them to be first-rate professional quality musicians within just a few years--musicians who can stand toe to toe with musicians old enough to be their grandparents. Whatever the formula is, it's a winner.
rockymountainjazzfan. Look at the Video " Kids and Music" on RU-vid. It's about Joan Chamorro's philosophy on jazz and how to educate and inspire kids to give the best of themselves and there are english sub-titles. As you remarked the results are there for all to see.
I think the young ones enjoy being put in a band and sometimes even in front of a band very early in their careers - rather than just having years of practice alone at home (which they have to do as well of course).
AHHH! The great Matt Denis classic, so nicely and tenderly played. He also wrote Angel Eyes and Violets for Your Furs. This is a beautiful rendition of a gorgeous song rarely played or recorded anymore. Thank You Joan for keeping it alive.
One of my favourite songs that I love to sing. Carla you are wonderful. Scott you are the man. Joan you are just the most underrated musician ever, you need to be acknowledged all over the world. Thank God for RU-vid, Johnnie in New Zealand.
Delicious !!! - It must have been quite an honour for Scott to share solos with Carla, 'our' up-and-coming guitarist, in this intimate atmosphere. Nice work on piano by Jan. With your magic touch, Joan, it's clear now that the only way is UP !
Carla Motis, vous êtes une guitariste brillante pleine de promesse… Et quelle chance nous avons de pouvoir entendre la douceur de jeu de Scott Hamilton et la basse de Joan Chamorro ! Coup de chapeau aussi au batteur et au pianiste ! Tout est parfait ! Bravo !
"Everything Happens To Me" is a 1940 pop standard written by Tom Adair (lyrics) and Matt Dennis (music). It was first recorded by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra featuring Frank Sinatra. Carla showing her chops here. Scott Hamilton at his best! All so beautiful!
I can't imagine what it must have been like for the students the first time Scott Hamilton stepped onto a stage with them. I would have freaked out, but they always have such composure. Carla, I am a guitarist, too. I admire you more than I can say. You are such a fine and sensitive player!D
Man .... the very texture of the sound recording ... again 😊✨👍🏽 The nice sounds of the brushes on the snare ... I feel like Bill Evans & Jim Hall type vibe , with nice airy breath sounding Sax .... a soft Stan Getz sound (even softer 😊)... Nice Time capsule ... Sound like a real nice classic recording ... A lot of contemporary young players just don’t seem to have that type of classic finesse as I feel and hear here .... If it was filmed in black & white I might have felt like I missed something nice from the past ... ✨👍🏽 And a Special 🌹(Rose) to Carla 👩⚕️🌹 ✌🏽👍🏾
Making real good use of the Jazz House. So nice, hearing these instruments 'sing' the song, with the added accents, very nice. Great job guys backing up Carla's soft touch on the strings and love to see Scott my favorite sax man.
What talent the Motis ladies have, sincere thanks to Mr. Chamorro for fostering young musicians, specially pairing them with seasoned jazz players. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎸🎼🎹🥁🎼🎷
Carla Motis and Scott Hamilton evoke the lyrics of this classic through their sensitive treatment, and the arrangement is wonderful. Beautiful understatements, Jan Domènech and Pablo Ruiz.
So beautiful. And just like that Scott Hamilton is 64. All those years ago when I was a lot younger I heard a track from, of all people, Rosemary Clooney. And there was Scott with that beautiful tone.
wow, a great video to see in the morning especially during such a horrible week :) Scott always sounds so good, makes me proud to be a saxophone player
Whooo! Carla excels in the silent pieces and settings, as it was evident in the Waldhaus 2016 and in a few videos out here - Easter Parade, to name one. This time, she shows her skills and feel in her solos, in dialogue with Scott Hamilton. Alas, I lose ground contact when they join in duets at 3:30, and the best part is when she drops her plectrum to accompany him, picking with the fingers - what harmonies, what a sound! Kudos to all players involved in supporting this fine moment in the Jazzhouse!
Excelente, excelente!!!que puedo más agregar me alegran la vida con la música que hace muchos años que escucho junto a toda esta magnífica banda tuya porque es tuya!!!😘🇦🇷✌️🤘💋🤩💝
Awesome. My daughter gets that same look of concentration. When she was little we called it her "office face". Well played, Carla (and everybody else).
Very great Carla Motis, the eternal accompanist, always setting the rhythm, tireless, always in the background playing so that her companions could shine. The guitar, the only instrument that has not rotated in the SAJB almost since its foundation: it has been Carla and nobody else, just her. Always in the shadow of her brilliant sister Andrea, rather more shy, introverted, but with no less talent, sooner or later she had to explode. And she has already done so, and for the last three years you can see videos of her as a soloist, even alone, on youtube, which demonstrate her extraordinary level. So many years as a pupil of maestro Traver had to pay off, of course. In this recording she is fantastic, demonstrating the stature of an international crack. Scott Hamilton, as always, brilliant, one of the best saxophones in the world. Jan Domenech and Pablo Ruiz, outstanding, two products of the Chamorro factory. And the maestro on double bass, of course. A beautiful interpretation of a beautiful theme.
Exceptionally tasteful phrasing and timing from such a young guitar player.... It's great to see Scott Hamilton being involved in the education of and performance with young musicians he's a giant among tenor player..
Just had to listen to this rendition again Just this morning ..... I’m becoming more & more a fan of the wonderful young guitarist .... And really, just about everything I just happen to stumble or come across presented by this presenter &/or RU-vid channel ...etc.... Makes me wish I could become a kid again , or with they were around & and I could have been connected with such fine directions when I was a kid .... or is it just true times we live in these days.... with all theses so young geniuses all over the place .... And to play with such seeming maturity & emotional understanding to play so ..... I feel like I could be listening to the likes of Jim Hall ...🙏🏽👍🏽🌹
Man ..... what still empresses me about the application of that GB10 (George Benson Signature ) guitar..... If I weren’t watching I’d think I was listening to a vintage D’Angelico or fine Benedetto arch top .... (Even though I still yearn to commission me a nice Benedetto .... I see , or hear, that I shouldn’t underestimate my own GB10 either 🙏🏽👍🏽😊)
Man ... Still going for another round of this favorite rendition 😊.... Nice airy Sax work ... And the drums & bass are holding everything so well balanced together .... And Mr. piano - mellow Bill Evans 😊👍🏽
Carla Motis’ phrasing in how she just played the melody alone even, before she plays her nice improved solo so well balanced & in contested , In mood & lines , is softly captivating & moving ... Just right for the mood of this rendition, with the type of texture of the sound ... Everything NICE ... Sound ... performance ... arrangement ... every body blends well .... Seemingly so natural 🙏🏽✨👍🏽
Beautiful! Soothing. Thank you Joan for all you are doing to teach the coming generation the beauty of jazz, and for recording such beautiful renditions. Bella música! Gràcies!
Excellent playing by all, a wonderful arrangement and outstanding production! I always enjoy the high quality of the sound in your videos. Nice solos by Scott and Carla!
In September 2017, my Barcelona tour itinerary happened on the same week of the Barcelona Jazz Festival. So instead of watching the traditional spanish dance prepared for my tour group, with my spouse, went to see their concert in Sant Andreu and got to meet Joan and a few of the students before and after the concert. It was an awesome experience to see them live. I would come back if my travels take me to that part of the world again.
F spike. great comment... but . she already is.. :-) .. hitting the right target notes.. perfect syncopation... and superb intonation..and lots of space... and very original .. she's unique
Bravo Carla! So good to see her taking center stage. I really enjoy these "practice" session videos, but wish they'd run past the end of the tune for a bit; I'd really like to listen in on the interaction that follows.
She is beyond anyone's wildest imagination. Her rhythm playing is it very essence of Freddie green, and her solos have the sound of grant green! Bravo!
¡Qué delicia de interpretación, el conjunto perfecto, un arreglo maravilloso y Carla su guitarra es simplemente un espectáculo, usted está maravillosa, su técnica, su suavidad al tocar, continúe siempre estudiando! 🎸🎷🎼🎼
Joan, I would love to see even 10 minutes of a class in which your students learn how to solo. Jazz improvisation is supposed to be very difficult and yet your youngsters do it so well! This song is a knockout!
It's very intimate quiet piece of evening Jazz that put everything at ease with this 5 piece band put out such great tune. Carla's hollow body guitar just gives great mellow sound with confidence.
Underbart. Vilka artister Joan utbildat! Jag ka se på Joans kroppsspråk att han är nöjd med Carla. Wonderfully. What artists Joan trained! I can tell from Joan's body language that he is happy with Carla.🥰
A beautiful number, beautifully recorded. Every element just right. For those of us who are teachers and musicians, Joan constantly shows us (or this bassist at least) what can be done.
What an enjoyable arrangement with great musicians. Nice playing Carla. Kept pressing repeat. Now I"m too relaxed. Why did I listen to it in the morning?
