Concert Solidari pro Ventijol. Joan Chamorro, A. Armengou, C. Motis i È. Bastida amb Andrea Motis. 

And we're also excited with all of them! Thanks for the post!

I wholeheartedly agree with you; these "girls" are excellent jazz musicians and supreme artists. I also admire their unassuming personalities. Thank God for fine human beings!

Here here. Absolutely fabulous.

I too have been watching Chamorro's various groups for a long time. Endlessly delightful. Some of the best Bossa Nova being performed anywhere. Love the bands with mixed ages (starting around age 6!). What his school offers is really an apprentice program. What a gift to the world!

@@bobsteiner9209 we totally agree with you!

Thanks for your post. We're also impressed for the great evolution of Carla's, but also for the three artist... very big too!

@TitusLivy777 I second that! She has the yellow beat box, harmony and melody box in her hands - an unbelievable backbone of the band!

Carla is spectacular. Her low key personality hides her talent. Close your eyes and it sounds like Joe Pass on guitar.

Gilbert becaud

Yes, yes... Carla is right there playing tastefully and beautifully. Plus, her tone is excellent. You go Carla !

Yesss!!!!

Change tat to: among 'the cream of current jazz performers. They are indeed female but this is not/should not be a dividing characteristic among musicians. Can he paly well? Can she play well? That's all that matters.

@@alanlevin167 good point

He's a great "maestro"... motivates with hard work, implication and commitment. These are the keys to its success with young people! (I hope my friend Joan agrees with this opinion) ... :)

It's a great truth! Yeah! :)

...and they really feel like enjoying playing together. Tengo que ir una vez a Barcelona escucharlas y verlas de verdadero. 😀

@@khangvutien2538 We're wating for you! Te estaremos esperando en Barcelona!

Moi aussi!

I agree. People who just paid €35 to see you on stage assume the performer has been thinking just about seeing you in the audience for months. So Smile!!! As Joan Chamorro mentioned in the liner notes of "Feeling Good" page 7, "a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your appearance." All of these young ladies smiled in this performance. They know they have succeeded and they are more relaxed which I see from many who have spent 8-12 yrs in the Jazz Band.

Thanks for your post! We're privileged to hear them... you're right!

Look back on RU-vid, you will find them back as far as 2009.

I too recently discovered Sant Andreu Jazz Band and have been watching every video I find. I can't get enough. THANK YOU Joan Chamarro, thanks for all the recordings and thanks for sharing.

@@JustLikeGreta Have you heard Andrea, Scott and Ignasi on Lullaby of Birdland? Gorgeous!

I had greats from the '30 and' 40s teach me on piano, one on trombone. Wish I had Joan as a teacher 40 years ago.

The contributions to latin music,especially from Brazil and Spain, I listen to daily. Alba and Carla both wonderful , the gal on guitar digs deep keeping the music flowing smooth.The whole band thru the years, hits my sweet spot. Joan, he's the ideal band director/teacher.

@@jeffreycraven8154 I don't how Joan brings these young people to an artistic level sufficient for professional gigs.

@@hank1519 Honestly Joan does it. Far out talented individuals + hours of practice from each. I was once @ this level 40+ years ago (piano & trombone) & then I went into a profession far removed from music (jazz) for the money. Immense talent and practice, that is the makings of a to the heart musician who totally falls in love with their instriment. At some point our horn & or keyboard, etc. becomes like a part of us. When this transformation occurs, we fly like a beautiful cloud whether it's 60 beats a min or @ 140. Practice, talent and knowing you can do it, and then fly. Always pay attention to your fellow players. Today my 55 y/o piano (new when I was 8 in1965) was moved into my house; I cried like a baby after playing her again. Joan's group A+++ in my book. Regards to you Hank. Jeff

@@jeffreycraven8154 Thanks for your thoughtful reply Jeff! We don't see all the teaching and practicing that must certainly be going on. Have a great weekend!

@@jeffreycraven8154 Que cierto sus palabras , tiene toda la razón ...

Beautiful words, feelings and blessings from a great heart! Thanks God!

Really!

@@ventijolentitatdepsicotera8636Yeah!

I have never heard Carla motis sing

Singing alone, not along. :)

@@theowheels66 No leads from Carla (on youtube), I'm afraid. She rarely takes a second or third part, or in a choir. See "Sister Kate" (with Andrea), 15:33 "Doodlin", "Mood Indigo" (Joana Casanova, lead vocals).

Staffan Olofsson thanks for your post.

Watching this performance makes me so sad because of seeing them wearing these ugly and completely futile masks on the stage.

@@wiejetze8397 Yes we are sad but behave reasonably. So therefore the masks.

@@wiejetze8397 And reading your answer again Im beginning to think that you perhaps are a Bolsonaro fan from Brazil? Sorry if I misjudge you, but your words indicate you are.

@Staffan Olofsson No way! I'm german, a musician myself and had no gigs for more than a year now. and so I had a lot of time to search for informations about what's going on. To make a long story short I can say that for me it's proven without any doubt that we have no dangerous pandemic and no deadly SARS-COV 2 virus. And that’s NOT my OPINION! It is simply a matter of fact. Countless famous and prominent experts/scientists worldwide have realized and published that Covid 19 Disease is a great big hoax. It’s more or less a common flew like every year. We have no extraordinary letality rate. All reports about such issue are lies, manipulated and have all valid explanations - which have nothing to do with Covid 19 as a main reason. That is just told every day to uphold the panic and let the people stay in fear and let them wear these stupid and completely useless masks (not only that; they are not for protecting you but endanger your health) and do all the other mad things the governements tell them to do - like stay at home, close all bars and restaurants, clubs and concert venues, just for example. Just this: The so called SARS-COV 2 virus has been not isolated in scientific serious manner until today. That is verified from several national health authorities like the american and the chinese CDC. Our office here in Germany told that, too. So they spread the horror of an alleged offender who has never been seen by anyone. To use this metapher - nobody has never seen no „wanted“ poster of this gunslinger. He’s only a phantom! And now speak about mutants of him is adventurist as well. And the other important thing that everybody should know is that the PCR-Test they use all the time all around the world to (colorable) determine who’s infected is neither appropriate nor suitable for that purpose. And that was said by the inventor Kary Mullis, an american Nobel Prize winner, himself. So the everyday new infection numbers are fake. They are only the number of positive PCR-tested people. Yet we must not lose sight of the fact that a enormous part of these are FALSE positive results. That it’s in the nature of this test. It finds even very old rudiments and fragments of an e. g. months ago overcome cold. So it says nothing about if someone is ill of a flew. And nothing else is what they call the „Pandemic“. What's going on is all about he Great Reset. Some years ago it still was a consiracy theory. Now it’s reality. The manipulaters behind this plan have that spoken out loud and official meanwhile. Look for Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum! The basic problem is that most of the common people are manipulated over decades and so they have no clue about that and if they are told about that they don’t want to believe it or don’t want to do the effort to inform themselves. They simply don’t want to know the truth. They keep on to trust the lies they are told everyday in the mainstream media like TV, radio and papers without any doubt about the crudities. And so they rather do faithfully what they are told, without thinking for themselves and without asking any questions about the politics. And so they wear weird rags in their faces, don’t dare to hug each other or visit the grandparents. They don’t let the children go to school, stay in homeoffice as far as possible and stand back how the government ruins their existence. And they denounce neigbours if they suspect a party or at least more than two persons who are not from the same household gathered in his place. And if something is ill actually then THAT is!

Thanks! We believe it too! :)

"Magister Musicale"...... .that's Joan Chamorro....
