le smile of Alba during Elsa intro Is one of the best things I "heared" - It is the sense of playing jazz together
Hi Tancredi! 🙏🙏🙏
Agree wholeheartedly.... These young members of the SAJB certainly set an example to all jazz lovers of all ages.
...right! Alba Esteban you mean,
...the only Alba in this piece, sorry. Its that I had just listened to a duet off the Armangou sisters.
@@cementaify it is not a duet, but the sister is in the orchestra
The young Alba Esteban (22) and the teenagers Elsa Armengou (17) and Koldo Munné (16) are making their international breakthrough in Cologne, playing with the WDR Big Band, one of the best European jazz orchestras, if not the best.
They are already well known in Spain, as members of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, the best young jazz orchestra in the world for many years, a fantastic creation of the maestro Joan Chamorro who has been bringing out precocious geniuses for 16 years.
Alba has become one of the best baritone saxophones on the continent, playing with incredible technique and feeling. His sounds are pure magic. And she is also a very good vocalist.
Koldo plays both alto and tenor saxophones, at a truly amazing level for his young age. He is also since very recently the vocalist of the band, with a good crooner style.
And Elsa ... is a really special case. She only plays trumpet, but she has been doing it since she was a very young baby. She made her debut as a soloist at the age of 6 in a concert in front of more than 2000 people, playing right between two great and very famous American musicians, Jesse Davis and Wycliffe Gordon, who looked at her in amazement without believing what they were seeing and hearing. Absolutely incredible. Since then she hasn't stopped growing and now she looks looks like a fantastic and experienced veteran at the age of 18. Because she really is.
Three young Spanish jazz stars who will undoubtedly make history.
Thanks Elsa for the fine pure tones...
I'm one of those who have followed Joan Chamorro's various ensembles and student performers for years. It's not just the musicianship that's extraordinary. The sound quality and technical quality of the Chamorro videos are exceptional, and the musical arrangements are generally wonderful. By the way, nobody should miss Elsa's rendition of "Mood Indigo" at age six, where she performs with musicians of several generations. And her sister Alba's rendition of "Triste" is a classic. It's good to hear these young people performing with WDR....
I think you're referring to the 2013 version of Mood Indigo, when I think she was eight. There's a terrific 2011 version of Undecided in which the six-year-old (?) Elsa plays with Jesse Davis and Wycliffe Gordon, who tower over her.
And she pretty much stares them down! @@geraldsacks2699
Thank you very much for this excellent performance of this master piece by such as bunch of new generation highly talented people!
True, thank you! They are very talented!
Bravissima Elsa!!! Your tone is wonderful!
SAJB and WDR Bigband as always! Thank you Joan
Hi Giovanni! 🙏🙏🙏
When I first started watching this I had tears in my eyes, so I stopped the video. When I started it again I finished up crying like a baby. The power of music is in the hands of the musicians and Joan has given us some of the best talent mundial. Gracias Don Joan.
Hi kevin! бWhat well-meaning words...thank you!
"What's New" in a superior way performed by these excellent jung talents!
🙏🏻
Elsa, there are other great jazz trumpeters from San Andreu -- Alba and Andrea are terrific, but you have the purest tone and the best technical skills of all. In a few years you will be a star in your own right. It has been so great watching you grow and develop as a jazz musician over the years. You are fantastic and you are only going to get better and better. You are a joy to watch.
True, Kimball!
@@WDRBIGBAND Agree--and Elso now leads the trimpet section. She just needs to get more comfortable at improvization.I'm sure it will come.
What a technological miracle it is that we, complete strangers scattered across the globe, have been able to enjoy an intimate, ring-side seat as Alba, Elsa and so many others of Joan's 'family' have progressed from their first tentative notes as SAJB children to the impressive young adult musicians they have become! None of it would be possible without their hard work and the unflagging encouragement of an inspired teacher. R (Australia)
Absolutely true, Branscombe!
This is as much trumpet as anyone could possibly ever play, and she continues to grow. She will bring healing to all the nations.
Hi Tom! Healing for all the nations, what a great thought!
Those who have followed Elsa Armengou closely over the years, and I have, will be able to follow her development from "I want" to "I can" in this title. And that is probably what unites everyone around Joan Chamorro. The will to success and perfection. This could also be seen in the best way in Alba Esteban and Koldo Munné, whom I had the honor to hear and see in unison with the WDR Big Band from their first performances until today. Even though I don't know them all personally, they have grown very close to my heart over the many years. Thanks to Joan Chamorro for making this possible.
Hi Hans-Joachim! Thank you very much for your kind words!
What a wonderful tribute! VERY wise words of yours: Joan being able to make players’ dreams become a reality.
One of the things I enjoyed most about this performance is not only the progress Elsa Armengou shows, but seeing her playing over all that time. She looks so timid in the earliest videos, but it was easy to see even then that she would be a phenomenal trumpet player.
Her otherworldly calm when playing slowly has allowed her from the start to play with time, and with phrasing and tone that a jittery kid could never achieve. In everything I've seen with her, she seems to perceive rhythm on a much larger scale than any "normal" person of her age. This is an essential skill for a truly developed musician. She seems to have been, as Lady Gaga put it, "born this way."
Hi Neil! Thank you for your kind words!
All were wonderful, but I was especially "blown away" by the very fine trumpet ....an excellent open, powerful sound.
Hi ItsJim! Thanx!
Another beautiful performance by all three!!!!! Great sound!!!!!!!!!!!
Quelle émotion en écoutant la jeune Elsa et , à voir le sourire de satisfaction de sa camarade Alba ! Un sourire de joie en écoutant sa jeune collègue qui ne trompe pas : elle apprécie tout simplement !...Bravo à ces jeunes et à tous les autres
C'est vrai, dom28!
Brilliant tone and feel for the trumpet of Elsa. All the solos are great, thanks ✨💞
Hi pavel! Thank you for your kind words!
The bari solo is so reminiscent of the great Gerry Mulligan. Exquisite!!
... fließend ungekünstelt und restlos entspannt im tonsicheren Wissen ihres Könnens.
Beautiful Baritone solo. Really special. In fact all the young soloists are really quite extraordinary.
