SEXTO DE LA SERIE JOAN CHAMORRO PRESENTA
Andrea Motis ( 2010)
Eva Fernandez ( 2013)
Magali Datzira ( 2014)
Rita Payes ( 2014 )
La magia de la veu ( 2014 )
Marc Martín ( 2015 ) formó parte de la Sant Andreu Jazz Band entre los años 2009 y 2014. Siempre fue una referencia y un ejemplo para los demás, por su actitud en los ensayos y en los conciertos, y también por su dedicación y estudio, lo cual le llevó a tener una evolución musical constante y a ser un elemento muy importante en la banda.
Inspirado en pianistas de jazz de corte clásico, siempre ha demostrado mucho interés en, a partir de este conocimiento de la historia, encontrar su propia voz, buscando variedad rítmica, melódica y armónica, lo cual hace de su discurso algo original y sorprendente.
En la línea de nuestro admirado Scott Robinson, que afronta los diferentes repertorios jazzísticos sin perder su personalidad, Marc puede tocar temas como The Sheik of Araby, un tema de los años 30, o el actual An emotional dance, de su admirado Ignasi Terraza, conservando su propio lenguaje. Siempre hemos intentado prescindir de las etiquetas, sobre todo cuando se utilizan para restar valor a una música, a priori, más antigua.
Este disco es una muestra de esa filosofía, y en la línea de todos los discos de presentación anteriores, encontramos invitados como Dick Oatts (lead de la sección de saxos de la Village Vanguard desde hace más de 30 años y uno de los saxos altos más importantes del panorama jazzístico actual), el propio Scott Robinson (poliinstrumentista que ha tocado y grabado con, entre otros grandes músicos, Maria Schneider, Joe Lovano, Toshiko Akiyoshi, etc.) y Jon-Erik Kellso (trompetista inspirado en Louis Armstrong que ha tocado con Wynton Marsalis en diferentes proyectos).
Este disco de presentación es el primero de la serie en el que se presenta a un instrumentista, pero nos pareció interesante dar un espacio a la voz, ya que Marc, tanto en el seno de la SAJB como en otros grupos, ha tenido la oportunidad de trabajar con cantantes. En este caso contamos con las voces de Andrea Motis y Eva Fernández, compañeras suyas en la banda durante todos estos años.
Para completar la sección rítmica cuento con Esteve Pi y Josep Traver, músicos con los que he crecido como contrabajista y con los que es un placer tocar y compartir proyectos.
También encontramos en algunos temas al trombonista Toni Belenguer, con el que personalmente he tenido la suerte de tocar y grabar en anteriores proyectos. Desde hace años Toni es uno de los trombonistas más originales y creativos del panorama jazzístico mundial.
Y por último, y muy especial, la participación en un tema de la Sant Andreu Jazz Band, que, a punto de cumplir su 10º aniversario, sigue obteniendo resultados maravillosos. Aquí tenemos uno más de ellos: la presentación de Marc Martín, un pianista original.

This piece is perfection! The Esteve Pi the drummer is sparking everybody into action. Toni Belenguer the trombonist has articulation, tone and technique that defies the second law of thermodynamics, The soprano solo by Dick Oatts is beautiful with wild abandon. Mark Martin's piano is enchanted by the jazz gods...Josep Traver's guitar strings glow with incandescence and as for Andrea Motis, she is the embodiment of jazz both instrumentally and vocally. I have never heard softly played with such an explosion of joy and pleasure. Joan's bass playing along with the drummer holds the whole mass of musical energy stable. Wow and Oh my God!

Dick Oatts LOVES playing with these guys and plays his heart out....Like @LeoJamesMitchell, below, i adore Esteve Pi's drumming, and see it as the spark.....The trombonist is fabululous...i wont go on, all is perfect.....

Fabulous Andrea who is really into this swinging version of Softly. The quality of her voice and phrasing are absolutely superb and she sounds like Miles Davis on the muted trumpet.

@paulsj9245 4 жыл бұрын

Agreed! Sometimes, she's singing "trumpet style"! Alas, I have yet to figure out how to sing "muted"

@ferreiraronald7873 4 жыл бұрын

@@paulsj9245 I guess trying to sing "muted trumpet" is an added complication. To me Marc Matin's album is very underestimated (judging from the number of viewers and those who hit the "like" button) as it's an album that swings hard and is full of interesting solos from brilliant jazz musicians who know how to swing hard. I suppose that for the majority, jazz is of superficial interest, they view by "name" or what happens to be trendy at the moment and marketing plays a part, though not as big as in pop music, where it can make or break a musician. You might wonder why I'm replying on a 4 year old release but like you (I'm guessing) I love to go back in time and watch the early years of Andrea's development as a jazz musician. The first videos of Andrea I saw, were from "Live at Jamboree" and I was simply blown away (and still am) by the talent and maturity of the then 17 year old Andrea. She seemed to have assimilated at her very young age all the "savour faire" in jazz that takes half a lifetime for others to digest. Myself and family started to go regularly to Barcelona in the hope of seeing Andrea and the SAJB. Initially we didn't have much luck as Andrea usually travels a lot in summer but now we "target" her concerts whenever possible and I've seen her quite a few times in Barcelona and in Paris and it's surroundings. Meeting her father was a stroke of luck because he gives me a lot of interesting information, I buy CDs etc directly from him. Andrea has a radiant personality and is a bundle of dynamite, overflowing with exuberance and the joy of living. She has that endearing quality of modesty and humility, no big star complex with her and to me her on stage performances are authentic and natural which the audience can sense.

@@ferreiraronald7873 Now I'm the one going back in time - missed your reply then... I'm totally in love with the kids - ehm, grown-ups - , the band and Joan! It started in 2015 (didn't know about the fabulous Palau concert then :( ) with Andrea's Basin Street of 2009 (Casa Fuster). From then on, it's a "Hotel California" story - never able to leave! Contemplated about Barcelona at Easter 2016, decided against it (1500 km by car?) and settled for St. Moritz in the summer - brilliant experience of two concerts, including a talk with my not so secret crush, Carla (on the musical side only, I'm over 60!)! Today, it's an ongoing obsession - nothing else in my living room! I agree, Marc Martin is an exceptional young pianist - have you heard him post SAJB? Alas, Jan Domenech filled out his boots well, another outstanding talent! Happy New Year, stay safe!

@@paulsj9245 I also seemed to have missed your last reply. By pure luck I stumbled on to a video of the 16 year old Andrea, also in 2015 and that was the start of a love affair with the SAJB and Barcelona. I was fascinated that a 16 year old was not at all intimidated performing to an audience of 2000, on the contrary she seemed to thoroughly enjoy the experience. Andrea enjoys the limelight, you commented on it elsewhere using the German expression for limelight, but it's done with great honesty. I've never ever seen Andrea trying to steal the limelight from anybody. We (myself, wife and daughter) started going to Barcelona (from Paris it's 6 hours by train, quicker and more convenient than by plane) every summer but didn't get to see the Andrea Motis Quintet or the SAJB. However I did see the Quintet quite a few times in Paris. We did drive (1100 Km) to Barcelona twice during the April school holidays and were lucky to see some concerts, but it's a long drive and in Barcelona the car is a burden. I got to talk to Andrea quite a bit and she's really a lovely person in every way. I also got to know her father, Ramon, who manages the business side. I went to the Sant Andreu jazz festival in September 2019, and it was a great experience. The first morning whilst trying to find the festival building I had the luck to meet up with Andrea and Carla who were going there themselves. Andrea, who has an awesome memory for faces, recognised me and said "Hello Roland" and and gave me a little kiss, like people might do when greeting friends. I felt honoured and said "Wow! Andrea, I'm not going to wash my face during the festival" Both girls burst out laughing. I met most of the SAJB members, they all communicate comfortably in English, know the history of jazz and are friendly kids. I talked with them right through the festival but especially with Andrea, Carla (your favourite ), Jan Domenech, Jean Mars Sauquet, and Joan Marti. Carla speaks fluent English, you know that, and though shy, once you break through the shyness, is a pleasure to talk to. Marc Matin, who is as jazzy as ever, has his own trio and gave a concert at the jazz festival. We also fell in love with Barcelona and returning often is something we look forward to. But Covid 19 intervened and we couldn't go last year. Ramon Motis advised me not to risk the jazz festival in September. as the situation was bad in Barcelona. Let's hope life will get much better by summer this year. Keep safe in these uncertain times.

Magaly's version trumps this one. Wrong tempo The title's opposite (Softly)Softly as in a morning sunrise The light of love comes stealing Into a newborn day Flaming with all the glow of sunrise A burning kiss is sealing A vow that all betray For the passions that thrill love And take you high to heaven Are the passions that kill love And let it fall to hell So ends the story Softly as in a morning sunrise The light that gave you glory Will take it all away Softly as in a morning sunrise The light of love comes stealing Into a newborn day Flaming with all the glow of sunrise A burning kiss is sealing A vow that all betray For the passions that thrill love And take you high to heavenAre the passions that kill loveand let it fall to hell So ends the story
