Topic: more jazz

[patentlymn]

I am so hooked on this. A Spanish jazz music school. I think the younger performers are students. Maybe the older are teachers.

Andrea was already world class here at 15-16 years old and she's only gotten better now at 27 years young!!!

Susurros del Viento (Live Session) - Alba Armengou

Alba is a chosen one by the gods. She always has been. She already was as a child, when at the age of 10 she astounded everyone with her incredible trumpet solo in that legendary concert at the Palau. And she continued to be so as a teenager, with those adorable duets with her colleagues Rita, Joana, Èlia ... And just into adulthood, as one of the best jazz and bossa nova performers in the world. Always under the immense and protective umbrella of maestro Chamorro in the SAJB.

I found this link about the two Albas, one tumpet and one alto sax. Also Andrea Motis, a trumpet and singer. All came through a Barcelona jazz school/group.

How a Kids Band in Barcelona Rekindled My Love of Jazz
My story is probably not much different from others who have discovered Barcelona’s Sant Andreu Jazz Band in recent years. And I’ve previously recounted on this platform my own version of how I “discovered” the SAJB for myself. But perhaps a bit more backstory would put things in a clearer context.
...
And, finally, came the day…October 11, 2019. I was on YouTube, casually scrolling down a column of screen grabs for videos by the great Brazilian jazz singer and pianist Eliane Elias. But mixed in with that column of screen grabs for her videos was an image of a young girl — playing a trumpet. The image was from her video of Jobim’s “Mediation” (or “Meditacao” in the original Portuguese):
...
2013 Meditaçao ANDREA MOTIS JOAN CHAMORRO QUINTET & SCOTT HAMILTON

Then I noticed several more videos from a different performance, but the same girl, the same jazz club — and in Barcelona, of all places.
Chega de saudade Andrea Motis Joan Chamorro Quintet & Scott Hamilton

Intrigued, I clicked on the image, and the video began. The girl was Andrea Motis. She looked so young, sang so beautifully and with such quiet confidence for her age, and was backed by a fine group of musicians, one of whom I recognized immediately as none other than the great Scott Hamilton. The lightning bolt had struck. After watching that video, I found another video of Andrea, and another, and many more, leading to those of the “Fab Four” as I call them (Andrea with Rita Payes, Magali Datzira, and Eva Fernandez), along with the rest of the SAJB.
...
Even now, every time I watch a performance by the band or an individual SAJB member, I have an imaginary conversation with my mom and dad, as if they’re sitting and watching it with me (“See that girl? That’s Alba Armengou, she’s a brilliant trumpet player and singer. Listen to her on this song…” just as an example). I know they would have been impressed, even amazed, by this band.
