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
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]
Qiuesto gruppo integra molto bene i giovani con gli anziani.ho ascoltato molto attentamente sia i brani sia gli esecutori.molto bello.mi piacerebbe anche qualche.pezzo "lento"eseguito con piano e chitarra elettrica alla maniera di George Shearing.Piero Isnardi
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.
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.
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!
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.
The encouraging thing is there are more of them out there. The problem these days is that the likes of RU-vid 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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
What a fantastic intro ... absolutely brilliant piano... love how he introduces the mood to the song. The best part of the song... almost.. till andrea and the rest of the band belts it out...

I've always had great esteem for Ignasi Terraza. Great sense of rhythm, very nice sense o melodic lines during the improvisations, strong knowledge of harmony. Beautiful
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.
Musical invention - reminds me of bach two part invention for keyboard - amazing talent to be able to improv that and then slowly merge into jazz style - wonderfull
Ignazio is incredible, but so is the entire ensemble. I still remember sitting inThe Peanut Gallery and listening to Shearing play this at Birdland (I’m old). This is a fun arrangement and a ton of talent! )
j'était passé a coté ,simplement le bonheur,le piano qui laisse sans voix, le timing d'Andréa pour le démarrage ,dingue,le saxo , et les autres ,simplement heureux
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.
At the two-minute mark, was she scatting on purpose, or did she forget the words? Either way, it was just great! Beautiful light-hearted horn playing, and sophisticated breezy singing.
THE PIANO SOLO RENDITION INTRODUCING "LULLABY OF BIRDLAND" IS PURE GENIUS AND BRILLIANTLY PLAYED . EVERY MUSICIAN IN THIS CD IS OUT OF THIS WORLD AND REALLY KNOWS THEIR MUSIC AND INSTRUMENT. ALWAYS ENJOY THE VOICE OF ANDREA MOTIS. SYLVIA - FL - 10/6/019
Andrea is fabulous takes my breath away, They all are superb, Love those octaves being playing on the guitar. make my hair stand up , truly great everyone.
A wonderful rendition by the Master himself, Mr. Chamorro and all the gang. I just can't say enough about the piano player, Joan, Scott Hamilton and their fabulous drummer. What a crew, I Just don't know what else to say. Excellence!

C'est magnifique, le thème est superbe, et je note cette extraordinaire intro d'Ignazi Terraza: seul Bud était capable de faire ça! quelle réussite! Merci!
May be it's an honour for the phantastic Andrea Motis to have Ignasi Terraza at her side here. Wiki tells us he was "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 ..." His "Bach" ouverture is an outstanding work, and it fits perfectly to the George Sharing's "Lullaby" - which was written as something like a "jingle" featuring famous "Birdland" Club (named after Charlie "Bird" Partker) in New York.
I love Bach and I love jazz so what more could I want in a piano intro , the whole band is wonderful thank you so much for cheering me up when there isn’t much to be cheerful about 😎😎😎😎
Andrea fait depuis quelque temps son entrée dans la cour des grands du Jazz, Je l'ai vue live ce dimanche en Belgique et sa présence et musicalité m'ont fait pleurer d'émotion . et pourtant je suis moi même bassiste de jazz ...
Loris Antrilli j.étais invité par le guitariste du big band de Boom pour faire les photos.... au centre culturel d’Aartselaar près d’Anvers ou elles était guest star pour le deuxième set..... et en plus de sa prestation j’ai rarement vu un ou une soliste (et chanteuse) si attentif et réceptif au jeu des autres musiciens .... la classe !
It's all great and I love all these individual artists, but the piano introduction is so incredible. I am a Bach lover and a jazz piano lover, and I love the way he blends in the jazz kinda gradually, with gentle sycopation. and the whole thing just kicks ass.
Maravillosa introducción al piano, con compases que asemejan a Joan Sebastian Bach...el resto, profesionalidad, buen gusto y saber hacer. Un asombroso conjunto de la mano de Chamorro con una voz de oro que es la de ese ángel que se llama Andrea Motis.
