I'm not normally big on Jazz; it's not something I would regularly listen to during my daily evening music hour, but I make an exception for the exceptional Joan Chamorro band.
Here we have Eva Fernandez singing, with an amazing Sax solo from genius Luigi Grasso. Rita Payés is on bone, and Joan Chamorro is joined by Andrea Motis on back-up Saxes.
I love the way the three girls applaud Grasso's solo; they obviously have huge admiration for him. Superb.
I, in direct contrast, can't imagine life without jazz. This was a delightful performance. Thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI love to see (hear) good musicianship in all genres. These young players, under the guidance of Chamorro, are quite remarkable; Andrea Motis probably now the most renowned.
DeleteNot a great jazz fan Cro - but could make an exception here.
ReplyDeleteThese young players are so talented. Chamorro is a wonderful teacher.
DeleteBrilliant ... right up my Dads alley !!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteHe would have loved them; I'm sure.
DeleteTaxi!
ReplyDeleteI once 'ad that Welsh John in the back of my cab.....
DeleteNot literally I hope.
DeleteHe's not my type!
DeleteI love it. Radio 3 has jazz 5 to 6.30pm on Saturdays, just when I'm preparing the evening meal.
ReplyDeleteI did actually go to an Acker Bilk concert when I was about 16; I quite enjoyed it too.
DeleteThanks for sharing Crozier. Jazz isn't usually my cup of tea either but I enjoyed that. The band seemed to have a happy togetherness.
ReplyDeleteIt's their youth that does it. Very enthusiastic.
DeleteJazz as instrumental music does not appeal to me, but smoky voiced female jazz singers do.
ReplyDeleteMs Fernandez does a good job; very relaxed with good phrasing. Just what it needs.
DeleteI like jazz. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good one.
