Spanish-Jazz improvisation with Flamenco Tania & Pianist Amanda

Improvisation on the the heart-stirring music of La Vida Breve. Jazz pianist, Amanda Lee and Tania from Spanish Dance Singapore experiment with their different worlds.
La Vida Breve is one of the items we presented for our concert at the Esplanade Theatre's collaboration platform, Exchange on 11 June 2023.
Ideas fleshed out into reality, plus a similar enthusiasm for learning and exploration - that's always so uplifting!
From the original La Vida Breve, Amanda segues into 4 styles of jazz: Bossa Nova
Stride piano - early jazz sound
Modal - modern jazz sound
Swing.
I love how she puts it together into a journey that entices and leads me on!

"A couple of firsts for me - my début of La Vida Breve - extracts in the classical Spanish style at the start & end by my maestra Paloma Gómez. Improvisation to Amanda's jazz music. I've not performed to jazz before, so it's an experiment of my dance language to her music." - Tania
Thanks, Gracias 💐
a. Amanda Lee for inviting me to collaborate
