Oh for goodness sake, this is; the sweetest tune ever. Her voice , my GOD, I've never heard anything more mellow.

This is so beautiful, Alba sings directly from the soul. Thank you

WOW This performance is pretty amazing. The sax and piano solos are creme de la creme. But that vocal harmony is just absolutely sublime.

One of the best covers of "Triste" in the last 25 years! Alba Armengou nails the vocal. Great arrangement, amazing vocal harmonies, and excellent ensemble play. No wonder it has over 5 million views, muchas gracias Professor Chamorro!

Alba could sing the ingredients label on a can of soup and it would be beautiful. Her voice is simply intoxicating.

I can't describe the feeling of satisfaction I have when I see the younger generation carrying on music traditions and adding their own contributions to it, part of a long, unbroken chain of musical beauty.

No make up, no mini skirts, not seeking attention, just pure talent that’s what I respect

San Andreu is a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Barcelona. Railroad tracks and little else. Great to see the people make the beauty that the area lacks. I played Basketball there for San Joan de Mata.

I am 82 and a jazz guy since I. was 15 It is my birthday and I pick them over all to celebrate Makes me feel alive

Alba has a beautiful voice. She sings so nice with sensitiveness, besides this is a very mellow song.

Don't understand a single word, but her voice is magic.

Pourquoi cette version m'émeut toujours aux larmes à chaque fois...c'est peut-être ça la grâce. Merci

Blown away! So smooth!

In my 60 years of musical performance, teaching and listening I have never witnessed any performance from any person that there was a clearer "life" moment for an individual as with Alba Armengou's performance of Triste. The lighting, the intonations, the blends, the gentle and nuanced movement through the song, the truly innocence of expressions by Alba was an encapsulation of a truly life moment for her. That is not to take away from any of the other brilliant musicians, however, this song, this coming together of so many naturally beautiful elements of artistic expression elevated this young women's innocent and unaffected angelic voice and song to the purest of eternal beauty. Alma, you should treasure these most magical few moments as the highest level of the wonderment of human beings. Amazing, simply unforgettable.

I must have watched and listened to this a hundred times by now. It is beautiful and perfect.

When I get weary of the world and the wars I come to this channel and observe the best in music and humanity. 😊

i keep watching this over and over, a few times a week. it's just so perfect, the sound is excellent, vocals and every instrument spot on, great song. it's like it has the same excellence of paul desmond, jim hall, elis regina from back in the day, all captured with today's technology. love this!

I have played this video over and over again. Such a beautiful song. Hard to describe how good the performance is. The vocal is so great, the perfect vocal parallel of a Stan Getz performance. I love the vocal harmonies and the guitar introduction is beautiful. I also love the tenor solo, perfect for the setting. 6.8 million views is testament to how amazing this performance is. Thank you Alba and everyone else involved. Sensational!

Still the best mood booster available anywhere, and it was recorded in 2016. Amazing. What a beautiful thing. Alba and everyone are inspired and inspiring.

Jobim esta orgulloso, donde quiera que estes... Qué bueno que en Europa haya un resurgimiento de la bossa, mientras aca en América Latina si no es reggaeton no pueden hacer nada !

She has probably the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. I showed my mom and both her and I are so in love with the way she sings. She has such a silky sultry voice

I dont know how many times i've listened to this. It's just eargasmic! Their blended voices have the perfect vocal chemistry. I hope they make a repeat performance for 2023!

Without undermining all of Alba Armengou's jubilation, we must, above all, thank Antônio Carlos Jobin, both for the lyrics and the wonderful melody of this BOSSA NOVA, which praises the BRAZILIAN people.

Best version to me , too!! The super sweet harmonies with little surprises all over, the two saxes playing in two almost opposite styles, the piano player doing both that and in his solo preempting the upcoming chords with some of the same surprising results. And the vocal is as sweet as bossa nova itself. It is charming to see, how the lowest note has been worked on with some attention to projection. And likewise charming that Alba is directing the last beat, just like the great bass player is brilliantly but discretely directing the rest: Leave it to the vocalist to play her finish! And of course the groove is true to the sweet bossa - I don't wanna say tradition, 'cause it's more like a groove. Just like if you change salsa, it's not salsa. It's a feeling. Everyone is playing so deliciously!

2:56 Enrique’s tenor solo was like a fine glass of wine🍷☀️

Angels coming to Earth to perform this song. The lead singer is particularly expressive.

What a superb video of this joyous performance. Thanks to all who worked to create this lovely gem. It brings me happiness.

Mí Respeto y Admiración por Joan Chamorro, un gran Maestro de la Cultura Musical, dándole la Oportunidad a Todos estos Jóvenes de diferentes Países del Mundo , para que cumplan sus Sueños y Proyectos de Vida con las Bellas Artes . Felicitaciones.

This is the most beautiful music I've heard in the past 20 years ♥️👍🤓🎺

This is Bossa Nova, a Brazilian jazz variant, at its best. Her voice is absolutely angelical and captivating.

Brasilian Samba, Bossa never disappoints....and the vocal harmony of these young people is pure delight.

I've come here again...because this is just perfect. Sublime! That arrangement, those voices! Just WOW!!!

I have just revisited this after a long gap, but having watched and listened maybe a hundred times before. It is still total perfection. The harmony and pace and timing are stunning. A moment captured in time, in the young lives of these fantastically talented people. It never gets old. ❤😊

I certainly hope all those musicians are still in jazz.

Joan Chamorro is a brilliant man. Hours and months and years spent with these young people.

The future of fine music is in safe hands! 😊❤

Hace dos años que descubrí esta interpretación y seguramente cada semana la escucho. Hoy me he dado cuenta que (sin querer) no le había dado "like". A veces no nos damos cuenta de que hay que agradecer lo que se nos da, pero nunca es tarde. Gracias Joan Chamorro, gracias Alba, gracias a todas las personas que estuvieron en ese escenario y gracias a las personas que hicieron esto posible, os deseo lo mejor porque, sin duda, me habéis aportado mucho.

This song could not be sung better. Absolutely gorgeous phrasing, and background vocals are perfection. Great to hear these boss a nova sounds revived and refreshed, perhaps performed as never before. Alba’s voice was made to sing this particular song. Such a beautiful language as well.

This is one of the FINEST bossa performances I've ever heard. I realize this was years ago, but the future of the genre is in excellent hands (and voices and hearts and souls!).

This is pure joy! You don't even have to understand Portugese.

I have no idea how KZfaq came up with that suggestion but I'm so grateful, this is a joy to listen to. The backing vocals are exceptional, and everything else is great too. Also, I love how the lead singer looks so humble and sweet, focusing her attention on the soloists and applauding even while she resumes singing, all of this while having enormous talent and a fantastic voice. Congratulations to all, this is just beautiful. I'll come back to this video regularly for sure.

All the girls are truly fantastic, and nobody could sing this like Alba! My goodness, what a joy! Playerz are great too.

Best version of Triste I've ever heard. Awesome drums holding the rhythm, too...

I have been listening to this for the last couple of years and every time I hear it, it sounds even better. Alba's voice is so sensual and her bossa nova feel is maybe the best since Joao Gilberto. Andrea, Rita and Elia's voices lay down such a wonderful carpet of gentle sounds for Alba to sing over and what a fabulous arrangement from Joan Chamorro. A work of musical perfection.

0:25 THAT VOICE CLUSTER WAS INCREDIBLE OMG

Her voice is perfect for bossa nova

lead singer ... such a fine voice.

I've listened to this 100 times. The thing that shines for me is the incredibly beautiful vocal arrangements that complement so well the tune. Já ouvi isso 100 vezes. O que brilha para mim são os arranjos vocais incrivelmente bonitos que complementam tão bem a melodia.

No matter how many times I hear this, it kills me every time, how beautifully it is performed by everyone involved. This is music at its finest. Congrats to all involved and bless you.

This is Alba at her best. and she was just 15 when this was shot. And the back up by Andrea, Rita and Elia is fantastic. What great things Joan Chamorro has done with these young people!

Astrud recently passed and she is smiling up there. These youngsters will certainly keep this bossa nova alive and well. Astrud, Stan Antonio, etc. will not have to worry if Joan and company are around. BEAUTIFUL arrangement of this classic!!! Keep them coming Joan !!!!

I've played music my whole life. This is pure musical magic. I've listened to this so many times. The best!!!

Beautiful tenor saxo by Enrique Oliver. Jan Domenech is a wonderful pianist. Everyone plays in a very fine way. Rita Elia and Andrea are so sweet and Alba is the soul daughter of Cher Baker and Saraswati. Congratulations too all, Joan Chamorro is a perfect teacher and conductor.

Alba and the girls are enchanting. 🥰

Una Alba Armengou de 15 añitos recién cumplidos, absolutamente encantadora y celestial en estilo, gusto, sentimiento, pronunciación y expresión corporal. Esta chica esta tocada por los dioses, siempre lo he dicho, se vio desde que tenía 9 años. Todo lo hace bien, ya sea como vocalista (swing, bossa, blues, boleros, canción latinoamericana ...), instrumentista (trompeta, saxo soprano, saxo alto, fliscorno ...) o acompañante (coros bailongos, rítmica, segunda voz ...). Incluso estuvo un año tocando en la Joven Orquesta Nacional de Cataluña, donde al parecer bordaba los conciertos para trompeta de Haydn y Hummel. Además tiene una vena escénica descomunal, el escenario es su hábitat natural, como ella mismo ha dicho en alguna entrevista. Y esa mezcla de espontaneidad, simpatía, naturalidad y un puntito de timidez es irresistible. Una Andrea Motis 2.0 vaya. 😉 Los coros de Andrea, Rita y Élia, de lujo. Y los saxos invitados Grasso y Oliver, fantásticos.

Alba sings like how she plays trumpet, so much smooth control on every syllable and note, I don't know the musical terms!

The value of KZfaq doubled when Joan Chamorro uploaded these videos.

That close harmony backing singing is utter perfection!!

That’s a hell of a talented backup group!

The back-up harmony voices are astounding.

The definitive recording

Alba has the voice of an Angel 😇 ❤️💙

Jobim must be smiling down from Heaven.

Hi Joan, watching this again before bed. Enriqe, Luigi, Jan, Abril, Alba and the heavenly harmony of the girls and Senor Monne's excellent arreglo, one of my favorites from SAJB. Matengnance bien todos!!

CONGRATULATIONS. this is real " bossanova"

The world is a better place for having Alba sing in it.🎶

En este mundo en destruccion estos jovenes musicos de Jazz son el Ave Fenix...

I love this band. The band and its musicians are excellent and that compliment comes from a drummer who has been playing with Big Bands for 62 years.

This morning I woke up with the sad news that legendary musician Joao Gilberto had passed away on saturday. This take of Triste literally brought tears (of joy mind you) to my eyes this morning. The beautiful arrangements of the exquisite vocals, the excellent solos ans the pure JOY that this performance and these young yet very talented young musicians brought to me, I think even mr Gilberto up in heaven will agree that this music is indeed very good hands with our youth. A big hand to mr Joan Chamorro for giving us the Sant Andreu Jazz Band and passing on beautiful music!👏 you made my day!

Incredible how good is the drummer with only 14 years old at the time of recording, perfect rhythm, great technique

i m in love with this song, the interpretation is so nice , the voice of Alba Armengou is magic !

Bravissimo young people. The future of jazz will be great.

music teacher here in Honolulu.... I wish I could 'like' this 1000 times.... wow. Congratulations on giving these young people the guidance to continue jazz.... amazing. fantastic.

O Brasil agradece essa coisa linda! Parabéns, isso é maravilhoso!

Ok put aside for a moment the awesome vocals, bass and direction. In this video we experience great saxophonists (both of whom interpret differently) and a world class pianist ! And. although I've watched this a few times I just now realize how much the precision camera work and editing adds to making this piece a masterpiece.

i have no idea what they are singing but i just love this so much. i must have heard it over and over 60+ times. Joan! you are simply amazing!

Music teacher here in Southern California - This gives me hope for The future of jazz in our world. I have to say how simply beautiful this piece is. Almost infectious bringing a tear to my eye. And every single time I listen to it, I am inspired. Thank you for blessing this week ( mine) with these wonderful sounds Played over and over, -making me smile.

That young lady on the drooms is like a metronome. And I LOVE this singer!

After years more than 5 million views. This is one of the school's best-performed songs ever. Sung in a perfect and enveloping way and with solos of the highest quality. I could put him among the milestones of jazz for his absolute fresh execution

「眼が洗われる」という日本語の表現があるが、これは「耳が洗われた」気持ちがします。

My remedy for the sorry state of affairs in the world today is to inoculate yourself every morning by playing this prior to reading the news. Proof there still exists truth and beauty and light. Obrigado.

i simply can't stop listening to this - the lead voice is just heartbreaking, inspiring, amazing. it's plain beauty. thank you so much!

@joanchamorro, I keep watching this one. It's the first Clip I saw of Your work and still among the greatest music I've heard in my life. Alba and the three other geniuses! How is this even possible? And all of them have been going on... You must be a happy man... I respectfully salute You.

Lead singer has a beautiful sultry voice!!!!!!!!!

This performance still brings tears to my eyes even though I have watched and listened to it many times. Thanks to all.

Beautiful voice!🤗

I keep coming back to this. One of my most favorite performances ever.

What is to say about a teacher, that is able to put together such an ensemble. Lord, the voices are melting beautiful...

I feel like jazz is in good hands and we don't have to worry about it :)

Alba and the gang ! How BEAUTIFUL !

Agradeço os sábios João Chamorro e Joan Monné para ter trazido à nossa vista e aos nossos ouvidos um quarteto divino catalã harmonizando, em legitimo brasileiro, uma melodia inesquecível dos tempos de delicadeza musical que o Tom ele-mesmo tivesse adorado. Imagine só a reação de Tom e Vinicius à voz de Alba Armengou!

3 years later and I'm still coming back. Great stuff, Joan!

The music language is universal! World needs more music and less business, please!🙏

This is entirely, absolutely intoxicating.

This is about as good as it gets. Would be interesting to hear these four world class singers singing the same song a few years later....

I love bossa Nova music, this is one of the best..amazing musicians..great singer..

Wow........this is really great! GREAT! What a lovely voice! And sung in flawless Portuguese. Wow...... I got goosebumps of it. For more than 50 years I'm a lover of Brazilian Bossa-Nova music so I know a lot of bossa-nova songs and bossa-nova singing artists. I think Joan Chamorro is fantastic and Alba Armengou is SUPER. I love you all. Best wishes from the Netherlands!

What is special about the young musicians? It is the naturalness and the joy of the music that they radiate. And something else very important: they are themselves and not copies of anyone. And when they present something, it is as it is and not a repetition of what has already been heard. Bravo - that is something special that you should keep for as long as possible. There are already enough copies. Thank you for being who you are.

Are you kidding me?? Absolutely flawless….!!

Alba is amazing, beautiful voice, such a pretty face 👏👏👏
