I must have been asleep when this video came out -- I can't believe I missed it! This is so far beyond amazing that words fail me. And because it's a long tune, there's ample opportunities for folks to display their talent. Marcal, Joan, and Joel on the saxes are of course at the forefront, but you have to give huge shout outs to Ignasi for his solo, and Esteve Pi for the super-solid drumming. But my biggest kudos are reserved for Magali, who was on fire for this tune! In fact, the whole band was just completely hooked up, and you can see it in Joan Chamorro's face and body language as he directs. What an energetic and fun performance!
Incredible - talk about tough tenors!! Look at the average age of the band and then consider what they are doing at this blistering tempo and how well they do it. Special mention for MAGALI DATZIRA and her amazing bass playing - have a sit down! Not only is it fast but it also swings and that ain't easy!
ONCE AGAIN Joan hits a grand slam. Outstanding arrangement of older jazz classic with a girl bassist from another planet!!!! The only break she gets is when the drummer and saxman trade fours!!! The last 64 bars really rock and Ray Brown was in the audience.
I have great admiration for Magali. I know how difficult it is to keep that fast beat at the beginning. I used to do it when I was young but hands and forearms get fatigued and then you must change the pace before things go wrong. She did GREAT!
Chamorro's passion and energy drives this incredible ensemble to perform....nobody has more fun than he does. It shows...he brings out the best in everyone.
'The Three Tenors' ... a remarkable performance. Appreciative glances from soloist to soloist - Marçal and Joan having known each other and played together in the band for a good number of years ... and inspiration flowing from Saxmaster Joel ! What a tempo ! ... What a BAND !!
Speed limit signs have all been taken down for this one. I am in awe of Magali as usual. She wins the race!!!! What intensity and pride in her face and overall demeanor. Mr. C, you not only have the horses, the band is all race horses! Brilliant and totally fun to watch and hear. Thank you.
Absolutely delightfully played by everyone. All solos were great including those of Joel Frahm, Ignasi Terraza and the two young lead saxophonists. What a piece!
Congratulations to the young tenor sax soloists. This level of skills requires lots of training, and even more listening of bebop-era solos. No great solos, not even the virtuoso Joel Frahm could have made this performance groove without the incredible rhytm section. The young bass player Magali Datzira did more than just a great job pushing the band forward together with drummer Esteve Pi and the rest of long-time professionals of the rhytm section.
It's really great to see young musicians doing so well in the Jazz tradition, and working with pros like Joel Frahm. ...We are all fortunate that there are great Jazz programs surviving in the schools. ...I know that I wish i had been a part of such instruction while growing up. ...These students can be proud of themselves for such wonderful and skillful achievement. Es' muy Bueno!!!
Poche cose trasmettono così tanta gioia e commozione insieme, fino alle lacrime, come ascoltare (e vedere) questi ragazzi suonare insieme! Siete dei miracoli viventi, tutti quanti.
I come from the big band area. Joan and the Sant Andreu jazz band do great rendition of this jazz tune!! The student sax solos are outstanding. I really like Joel Frahm.
Wow ! What a Tour de Force by everybody in the band. The appreciation shown to Joel Frahm by the two young tenor players is wonderful to behold. A great piece of enjoyment for all concerned. Especially the grateful listeners.
I'm so happy to have discovered the Sant Andreu Jazz Band...I love this style of music, and I don't know of any other band who is producing it anymore...these musicians are so talented!
Exquisite, stunning. Listening to this many times, and pick up more and more. I've seen in person many great bands (including Buddy Rich), and the kids are right up there.
Now that, as they used to say, is a real flagwaver, propelled -- as is noted by another commenter -- without letup by the stellar Sant Andreu rhythm section. What's especially priceless is the looks on the faces of the two young (and excellent) tenor players as the great Joel Frahm gives a master class on how to play ride tenor.
Great arrangement of this Cole Porter tune. The individual solos are great. The big band backup is terrific. Joel does an outstanding tenor sax solo. Joan does it again. Way to go Joan.
Joan, you are the most inspiring director I know. What a great band with those young people. So much talent, my compliments here from Holland. I hope to see you and the band on the North Sea Jazz Festival over here. I will ask for it.
An impressing demonstration by all the band. If the day should come that I managed to play my alto sax half as fast as this guys play their tenor´s, I would be in heaven. Thank you.
Such joy coming through this one! My favorite part is watching Abril in the background during the drum solo at 4:29. It shows just how into this music you have gotten them, Joan. Of course you seem to be having just a little fun at the end yourself😉
Sounds like Woody Herman’s Herd in the 50s a 10 yr old boy in the reed section & am I hearing Four Brothers playing minus 1 doing the solos . The band swings like Big bands used to here in the US. Joan you are up there with the best .
Reitero mi amplio reconocimiento a la sección rítmica en este arreglo, son geniales, me gustaría saber quienes son, todo ello sin menoscabo de la excelente ejecución de toda la banda
what's most wonderful is that 'kids' watch and admire. There is a lot of such moments in these videos, this is one of my favourites, alongside Andrea and Rita (others as well) marvelling at Luigi Grasso: th-cam.com/video/5jSDcA99r7g/w-d-xo.html. And I bet in few years many of these 'kids' will be showing the younger kids "how it's done". In fact, it's three years gone now, and neither MARÇAL nor JOAN have been wasting their time. [th-cam.com/video/OZEwGKcu71Y/w-d-xo.html] I actually find it damn motivating when I realize how they all progress, and these videos document it very well. And sometimes I have this irrational wish that they do not grow, do not mature, just stay at this level of still-fresh but already-seasoned.
The girl on the bass is incredible - Wow! What a talented bunch 👏
GRAN TRABAJO DE MAGALI YATZIRA, FENOMENAL
And the great Magali Datzira herself on the Bass! 👏
I must have been asleep when this video came out -- I can't believe I missed it! This is so far beyond amazing that words fail me.

In fact, the whole band was just completely hooked up, and you can see it in Joan Chamorro's face and body language as he directs. What an energetic and fun performance!
The soloists just killed it, especially Joel! Special kudos go to the bassist and drummer who both laid to down! Bravo, Magali and Esteve!
Incredible - talk about tough tenors!! Look at the average age of the band and then consider what they are doing at this blistering tempo and how well they do it.

Chamorro's passion and energy drives this incredible ensemble to perform....nobody has more fun than he does. It shows...he brings out the best in everyone.
That is exactly it. Joan is one fantastic band leader -- an occupation I now understand better after watching Joan. His energy! His joy!
'The Three Tenors' ... a remarkable performance. Appreciative glances from soloist to soloist - Marçal and Joan having known each other and played together in the band for a good number of years ... and inspiration flowing from Saxmaster Joel ! What a tempo ! ... What a BAND !!
That performance by all was transcendental. Really. I'm sitting here in disbelief.
Speed limit signs have all been taken down for this one. I am in awe of Magali as usual. She wins the race!!!!
What intensity and pride in her face and overall demeanor. Mr. C, you not only have the horses, the band is all race horses! Brilliant and totally fun to watch and hear. Thank you.
Sparks ⚡️ coming off Ignasi’s hands 🙌 - guy is mind blowing
Absolutely delightfully played by everyone. All solos were great including those of Joel Frahm, Ignasi Terraza and the two young lead saxophonists. What a piece!
Excelente trabajo de toda la banda y en especial un reconocimiento a Magaly Datzira en el bajo, fenomenal

Marvelous! I love watching Marcal and Joan playing together. They are both so good and also equally supportive of each other! Love it!
It's really great to see young musicians doing so well in the Jazz tradition, and working with pros like Joel Frahm. ...We are all fortunate that there are great Jazz programs surviving in the schools. ...I know that I wish i had been a part of such instruction while growing up. ...These students can be proud of themselves for such wonderful and skillful achievement.

Oh man! My favorite jazz band these days!
Spectacular! And Barcelona may have the world's best jazz audiences
I come from the big band area. Joan and the Sant Andreu jazz band do great rendition of this jazz tune!! The student sax solos are outstanding. I really like Joel Frahm.
William L Robinson Joel Frahm is the man.
A constant presence, an anchor to the orchestra, hats off to Josep Traver.
From this moment on, I can only listen to Joan Chamorro orquestra... Gracias, Mr. Chamorro, what a full blown swinging band!
Magali you are the most ! the Sax solos brilliant,this great young band unbelievable,thanks a million Joan.
Wow ! What a Tour de Force by everybody in the band. The appreciation shown to Joel Frahm by the two young tenor players is wonderful to behold. A great piece of enjoyment for all concerned. Especially the grateful listeners.
Yes, what an education for them - and they never looked back after this.
Magali !!!!!
Everyone !!!!!
The undiluted fun they had.
I'm so happy to have discovered the Sant Andreu Jazz Band...I love this style of music, and I don't know of any other band who is producing it anymore...these musicians are so talented!
Exquisite, stunning. Listening to this many times, and pick up more and more. I've seen in person many great bands (including Buddy Rich), and the kids are right up there.
Magali shredding it once again - I’d love to see more close ups of her hands flying she is incredible 👏👏🍷❤️ (Joans expressive face nails it)
so agree. this is a great performance by all
Otra nueva joyita que descubro hoy... Lo que nos perderíamos sin este canal... Gracias Joan.
One of your best performances ever
Congratulations to all.
When i say all the players here are terrific, i say the true: all
Standing ovation. Hats off to both senior and young musicians.
That concert was bombastic!
Now that, as they used to say, is a real flagwaver, propelled -- as is noted by another commenter -- without letup by the stellar Sant Andreu rhythm section. What's especially priceless is the looks on the faces of the two young (and excellent) tenor players as the great Joel Frahm gives a master class on how to play ride tenor.
joel frahm is a beast.
Magali's bass just incredible
+Pulsenote YES !!!!
And another yes. The lady throws herself into her music.
And sometimes she dances behind the upright bass....,
Magali is incredible, a fantastic musician that gives her all to the music - I love the way she blows away her hair as she kicks-ass on that bass 😄👏👏
Tremendous energy and swing. Just beautiful.
Ignasi is terrific and Pi....the whole gang just great!!! Jazz is alive!!!!
Great arrangement of this Cole Porter tune. The individual solos are great. The big band backup is terrific. Joel does an outstanding tenor sax solo. Joan does it again. Way to go Joan.
Great performances all around - the pianist is on fire! and Joan is having a party - great stuff thank you.
Top class , including sound and vision. All fantastic.
Wow! I can't even listen that fast.
Fantastic !!! Such a joy to watch all these incredible good young players in the band, count me in as a fan !
Espectacular Magali Datzira en el contrabajo
Joan, you are the most inspiring director I know. What a great band with those young people. So much talent, my compliments here from Holland. I hope to see you and the band on the North Sea Jazz Festival over here.
I will ask for it.
An impressing demonstration by all the band. If the day should come that I managed to play my alto sax half as fast as this guys play their tenor´s, I would be in heaven. Thank you.
Mr Chamorro this young band is amazing and I like very much seeing you when directing !

Such joy coming through this one! My favorite part is watching Abril in the background during the drum solo at 4:29. It shows just how into this music you have gotten them, Joan. Of course you seem to be having just a little fun at the end yourself😉

A smoking arrangement with top musicians! Magali plays even better after she chews down her callouses @ 4:31 & 4:42 ...lol. Gotta love her.
Wow!!! Hot hot hot!!! Magali is outstanding!
Sounds like Woody Herman’s Herd in the 50s a 10 yr old boy in the reed section & am I hearing Four Brothers playing minus 1 doing the solos . The band swings like Big bands used to here in the US. Joan you are up there with the best .

2:28 alright let me show you kids how it's done

Yes but also he shakes their hands as they sit down to acknowledge their contributions...
I love how, even when not playing, Andrea Motis is being carried away by the music and rythm!
Magali una crack.
