I'm not musician but have been an avid jazz fan for a long time. I go back to Duke,Bird,Diz,Miles,Brownie and all the others.Yep I'm that old. In January 2022 I discovered Joan Chamorro and the San Andreau organization.i have become totally fascinated and addicted (in a good way) to their talent, dedication and charm.the young performers speak for thselves with their fantastic instrumental ability and vocal. alents . But I want to single out the maestro himself Joan Chamorro. What he has accomplished is staggering. He has molded so many youngsters into wonderful soloists and team players that it confounds imagination. Any parent knows that dealing with young people can be a bit of a task but he does it marvelously. In con clusion. I firmly feel Joan deserves international praise for his work with youth and contribution to music. Is their a Nobei or Pulitzer type award for this type of contribution to civilization? Does anyone agree with me?
Neal Hefti and Count Basie would have been delighted that this standard is still being interpreted so excellently by this young ensemble more than 50 years after its creation, as if it had only been composed and arranged yesterday. 🎶👍
Sure! If Neul had to decide for the premiere performance between the Basie-Band and the SAJB, he would have dropped a coin a thousand times and afterwards had cancelled the presentation in deep frustration 😜 Cheers & 'njoy
Alba plays like an old PRO! Adding her beauty she is/Will be an International Star very soon as she also is gifted with a fantastic voice singing in different languages! And The group plays so perfect under The magician Joan Chamorro! Every number is executed like the best to be found! Fantastic!!
Great ~ many bands rush this classic piece . Joan is in control so SAJB stays relaxed. Alba's solo is elegant and perfectly timed with nice embellishments. ATOMIC !
The Count is ever so proud of these youngsters. The trumpet solo sounded a bit like Roy Eldridge, Ray Nance and Clark Terry all in one. OUTSTANDING AGAIN JOAN!!!
This was SO AMAZING. The kids play tight, and the trumpet player is so talented!!! This is one of my favorite Basie songs and this was an amazing performance!
I am amazed at the solid intonation of students, no matter how advanced the curriculum is! Very complex chording and perfect execution. And Alba, as usual, is excellent.
WOW just blown away, brought tears to my eyes first heard this in 57 by Basie, these kids are beautiful and the leader has a pure soul, JUST BLOWN AWAY
Magnificat performance!! I believe Maestro Chamorro is the greatest musical director alive today. I'm so proud to have watched many of these multi-talented, student geniuses develop under his leadership. And he's produced hundreds of wonderful videos like this over his years with the SAJB. Thank you Maestro for all the beauty you have brought to us! You are a gift to the world of jazz!
I've gotta say that Alba is not just a great singer (No Moon at All), but blows such a great horn -- Trumpet and sax. What a talent!!! Thanks, Joan for bringing up all this talent.
Esta hermosa orquesta integrada por talentosos jóvenes , es prueba inequívoca , que el jazz perdurará y jamás morira ....... buen trabajo Joan Chamorro .......gracias a todos ustedes.....
Joan, "Li'l Darlin'" is one of my favorite Count Basie Orchestra tunes and you guys did a great job with it, as usual!!! As for Alba, that young lady is so good!!! I said this many times before and I'll say it again; I could listen to her play that trumpet and/or sing all day long!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
I was educated in jazz from the sixties playing jazz guitar. I’m so impressed and delighted with the beautiful sounds of this orchestra and the talents of its young performers and its director Joan Chamorro! Thank you so much for brightening each day with your fine music. Hoping to catch you in person!! Steve from San Francisco
Simply delightful! My pops (lifelong musician) sure would have loved to hear you cats. Keep up the great music. You all are a blessing to the world. Shalom.
Wow!!! Great all around. I'm struck by: Alba's solo is very tasty and in the mood, Carla's guitar is wonderful with her harp-like licks, the band is in the groove with the full chords being totally focused for balance, great dynamics throughout, Dominique's piano-very tasty. Alba E's bari provides the "specific gravity" for the whole band. Great laid back style--beautifully interpreted by all. Sound and video---marvelous work laying this down. What a beautiful legacy for future listeners. Mr. Hefty would be impressed. Thank you.
Lovely! One of my all-time favorite songs. Alba's mute solo is wonderful, but the true delight is Carla's arpeggios, especially the downward surprise. Made me giggle!
Ah! Thanks for pointing out the downward arpeggio. I totally missed it in the dozens of times I've listened to this one. I always wondered what Joan's surprise reaction was about.
@@NeilCarlsonNM I don't buy his "surprise" as they have rehearsed it plenty and this probably wasn't the first concert. IMHO, his performance is part of the game!
SAJB continues to amaze me. I keep thinking, "it can't get any better" - but it always does! This is so smooth and relaxed and harmonic, but so disciplined. Beautiful work from Alba, and nice to see so many young players coming up!
Great articulation and intonation from this outstanding youth band. Lovely trumpet solo. It reminded me of playing this Hefti number with the Poole Grammar Big Band in the 80s - the band is still going.
Top bigband! Difficult to play. Big compliment! But the camera only got the wind section. Rhythm section, especially the guitar are most important, too! Special applause for my guitar colleague!
This piece sounds very simple but it is actually very difficult for an ensemble to play well. Much precision and control required, especially for those staccato crotchets. Beautiful performance. Thank you very much.
Lost count of the number of times I’ve watched this video, love the tune and the performance , an amazing group of young talented musicians, hopefully I’ll get to see them someday, old Irishman.
Hola a todos después el éxito del video del ensayo de Li'l Darlin en la Jazzhouse, ua-cam.com/video/OaSxoK9K4SQ/v-deo.html por fin tenemos la grabación que forma parte del nuevo cd JAZZING 11 Espero que lo disfrutéis :-D
Wonderful arrangement and playing by the entire ensemble! Thank you, Professor Chamorro, for your efforts to promote, educate, and provide performance opportunities for these amazing young musicians!
"Wow" The torch is most definitely carried, wonderfully played and a joy to hear you guys. I know "Uncle Bill" would very much approve, as would my father Harry Bence.
Excellent job, one of my favorites of Basie's. Got to play this one time with Roy Eldridge when he came into the club where our band was playing. Beautiful memory. This band sounds great, sax section all breathing together, and Alba is outstanding. Excellent!
Veo chicos nuevos...mis respetos a ese gran maestro Chamorro haciendo que las nuevas generaciones aprendan a disfrutar la buena música y quieran ejecutarla con excelencia.
Wow! This is just a marvelous gift for me receiving in Tokyo in the midnight. "Li'l Darlin'" is one of my most favorite tune. Carla's guitar and Alba's trumpet play, so good both. Enjoyed much. Thank you!
As mentioned elsewhere - please do more than watch these great performances on UA-cam. Please support these musicians by buying their music from whatever music app you prefer. I’ve been buying from the Apple Music store. The albums are usually mentioned in the show notes. There are different series some of them feature your favorite musician, others are compilations. Or you can buy single tracks such as this piece featured here on the album Jazzing 11. Because of covid all artists are facing great financial challenges. They need our support now more than ever.
I just discovered SAJB not quite a month ago. So far I've ordered 5 CD's. Have to admit I've ordered them from Amazon but now have found the jazztojazz webwite and will be ordering more from there.
@@stevesolomon2348 Thanks Steve. I wish I could buy more but being on a tight senior citizen’s budget I can only buy a few tracks. But appreciate fans like you doing something to help these terrific musicians.
Count Basie doit arborer son plus large sourire en écoutant ce magnifique orchestre rempli de jeunes talents bien accomplis. le solo d'Alba nous montre à nouveau sa finesse et sa sensibilité à la trompette. Magnifique, moi je suis plus que Fan Merci Mr Joan Chamorro

I could not agree with you more.
Boy what a wonderful day it was when I "discovered " Chamarro and his talented youngsters! Great talents, great music, great fun! Thank you all!
Oh ya, they are wonderful!
The new kids on the block - same consistent quality. Thank you all. Love that growling baritone!
wow .. Lil' Darlin' .. one of the most beautiful big band pieces ever. The kids are perfect; congrats, Mr. Chamorro
I’m amazed at how accomplished and talented these young players are, bravo! 👏👏
Wonderful! Best version i have heard of this song. Thank you Alba, Carla, the band and the genius Joan Chamorro. Love you all!
Getting those amazing kiddos to lay back properly on the beat is a major feat. Incredible teaching here...and performance!!!
We used to play this piece and we never got that quite right lovely piece to play though
Neal Hefti and Count Basie would have been delighted that this standard is still being interpreted so excellently by this young ensemble more than 50 years after its creation, as if it had only been composed and arranged yesterday. 🎶👍
Indeed. More than 60 too.
I had to look twice, I thought it was the Count Basie orchestra. Excellent performance.
Sure! If Neul had to decide for the premiere performance between the Basie-Band and the SAJB, he would have dropped a coin a thousand times and afterwards had cancelled the presentation in deep frustration 😜
Cheers & 'njoy
Alba plays like an old PRO! Adding her beauty she is/Will be an International Star very soon as she also is gifted with a fantastic voice singing in different languages!

I think Basie and Hefti are looking down from heaven with very large approving smile!!!!!
God. I was transported. Memories of Basie rendered by this highly accomplished band.
Thank you.May you guys live forever
I am amazed at the solid intonation of students, no matter how advanced the curriculum is! Very complex chording and perfect execution. And Alba, as usual, is excellent.
I just love this jazz band composed of young, talented and good looking musicians❤️👍👍❤️...a fan here from the Philippines ❤️
WOW just blown away, brought tears to my eyes first heard this in 57 by Basie, these kids are beautiful and the leader has a pure soul, JUST BLOWN AWAY
So wonderful it brought me to tears. Such a great director and beautiful young musicians. Muito Obrigado!!

This is a great recording.
Alba Armengou plays beautifully.
Everyone sounds fantastic.
I love how Joan congratulates Carla when she nails the guitar just like during practice!
I played this arrangement in college in 1966. It was probably my favorite piece I ever played as a trombonist. This really warms my heart.
Me too! Played this on tenor sax with the Manhattan College swing band in the late 60's.
Neal Hefty would be smiling with approval.
Unbelievable! It is one of the finest renditions of Li'l Darlin' I have ever heard- INCLUDING the Basie Band live several times! WOW!
Neal Hefti and Count Basie would have been so proud to have heard you.
What a wonderful musician she’s become
Only had sound on at first and couldn’t believe how young the group was when I checked. So talented. A very tricky song to play at the slow tempo.
I've gotta say that Alba is not just a great singer (No Moon at All), but blows such a great horn -- Trumpet and sax. What a talent!!! Thanks, Joan for bringing up all this talent.

Very beautifully controlled; mellow and dreamy. Alba's total involvement (as usual) is mind-boggling. Superb rendering from all. 🥰
Nada mejor q escuchar esta TREMENDA orquesta, GRACIAS. al sr Chamorro y sus jovenes muscos.

These kids are SO good. It warms the heart.
Alba's mastery of the trumpet is getting better and better ! Wow !
*Calm in the music and brilliant play of the band. It uplifts the spirit. Great solo Alba and guitar delicacies Carla, thank all .
Great to see some new faces coming through. As always the band was great and Alba's trumpet playing was so sweet. Beautiful throughout.

Shalom.
You have captured the mood of the Count Basie orchestra. Excellent.
Wow. They nailed it. Beautiful. Alba took that solo and made it her own - really nice job.

Lovely, and true to her "Freddie" style! I was missing this in the rehearsal (ensayando...) as it is in the original, too.

Superb Big Band Sound!!!

Maestro Chamorro e sua orquestra são sensacionais!!! Chamorro regendo está emocionante!!!
Absolutely fabulous. Listening to you all generates an inner glow, a warmth like being wrapped in a blanket. Amazing.
Count Basie would have been proud. Excellent Joan . This group can hold its own anywhere.
Adoro este tema e adoro esta banda. Perfeito!
Só podemos agradecer ao Maestro Chamorro por formar tantos jovens talentosos... Alba magnífica na sua simplicidade!!
It's also nice to hear that there is an actual audience to play to!
Pretty sure this was recorded pre-covid!
@@robertvanruyssevelt7159 It says, Sept. 2020, which would have been before the Winter wave!

Da gusto escuchar a la Sant Andreus,gracias a todos esos "gurises"y a los no tan jovenes,desde Uruguay,saludos
Wow! Alba nailed it! Love that solo.

Beautiful. The artistry and musicianship of these amazing artists never ceases to amaze. Thank you Sant Andreu Jazz Band and to you Joan.

In the late 50's I saw the Basie Band in Den Haag, this brought back memories.
Chamorro, que belo trabalho vocês faz com esses jovens!
Sublime. Un placer para los oídos. Muchas gracias.👏👏
Fantástica banda!! Y tan jovenes, algunos incluso niños! Es increíble lo que has conseguido Joan..
This a very smooth big band arrangement! Big band music at its best!!
Joan...genio .
Great piece and a great solo from Alba! That looks so sweet, when she sits and waits to play the solo at the beginning;) Thank you!
I have played this piece many times....it needs very precise performance, Excellently played.
As have I... always loved the sound and feel of the tune coming on the upbeat.
Lo más sorprendente es que estos jovencisimos músicos suenan a Jazz.... Empaste, fraseo y timbre.... Genial... ¡Enhorabuena al brujo Chamorro!
Simply brilliant. Great big band sound.
Count Basie must be smiling wherever he is. Joan you deserve the highest commendations
Mais uma vez espetacularmente maravilhoso!
