I can't recall ever being so impressed with a drummer as much as I am wih Abril Saurí. You don't notice her because she's sitting in the back busy being perfect. I absolutely adore that young lady.
In the first part I was amazed that whatever tiny little nuances were picked up by Alba's mic, her singing voice sounded even more beautiful! Her singing is perfect not only "roughly" but to the smallest details too. In the second part her joyful, faster tempo singing was shining, with her trademark deep notes, stop-watch accurate timings, and bent vowels. Absolutely beautiful!
The two best moments in this wonderful performance are Alba's deep, resonant voice on the line, "Till you came by" and the expression on Rita Payes's face at the conclusion. Apart from Joan's genius in drawing out great performances from the kids, he's also fostered an air of respect for each other's talents and what seems to be genuine friendship and appreciation of other's successes. Not an ounce of jealousy to be seen. How delightfully different from the giant egos of many of today's young musicians.
Yet another musical genius moves up the ranks in Joan Chamorro's school, well on her way to stardom--and just 15 years old when this gig took place. Great to see Rita sitting in on trombone, too!
Brilliant! The muted brass section with Rita's open trombone created a blended sound I had never heard before! Beautiful! I had to rewind a few times to figure out how they did it. Tight, tight band and orchestration. Thanks Joan, Alba, and troupe!
Josep provides a superb backing to Alba's introductory verse, and she doesn't disappoint as she follows up through the rest of the song. Lovely voice, lovely girl. Super arrangement by Joan Monné, as we have come to expect, great ensemble work ... and just listen to Ignasi's knock-out solo and be amazed !
Josep and Ignazzi--marvelous in every way here! Love both of them. What a basis they lay down for these great kids---like Alba and everyone. Way to play!!!!
Magnificent arrangement, top pianist and I think that Alba is ready for a her own record (if she hasn't already recorded it). I still can't see her artistic limits. She can really become a great singer worldwide! Joan, I'm not the first to to say it but, besides being a great musician, you're doing the best jazz school in Europe and one of the best in the world.
Well done, thank you. Alba is nice and feeling stronger and more self assured. And Ignasi ... really cannot find words to describe my delight with his masterpiece passage. The brass team - beyond highest prase.
Wonderful! Alba has a very distinctive and memorable voice and style. The band swings like mad and sounds great. I'm especially pleased to see Rita in the band again! I loved Josep's exquisite guitar accompaniment and Ignasi's great solo. Abril, as always, is rock-solid, keeping it all together while driving the band along. A great arrangement by Joan Monné. Lastly, Joan Chamorro...as they say, "You da man!!!" Congrats and thanks to all, including the sound and film techos.
Great job! I love the quiet breakaway intro. Alba is of course great, but that's gotten to be normal for her. (actually, it's been normal for her for a long time, in different ways) Ignasi's solo is just phenomenal, I'm amazed (and grateful) that he's available as much as he is to play with Joan's groups. Nice work by Josep and Abril here as well. Another Chamorro masterpiece!
Lyrics : Used to lead quiet existence, Always had my peace of mind, Kept old man trouble at a distance, My days were silver lined Right on top of the world I sat, But look at me now, I don't know where I'm at ! I was doing all right Nothing but rainbows in my sky I was doing all right Till you came by. Had no cause to complain Life was as sweet as apple pie Never noticed the rain Till you came by But now whenever you`re away Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day I just sit and wonder If love isn't one big blunder But when you hold me tight Tingling all through, I feel somehow I was doing all right But I'm doing better than ever now But now whenever you're away Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day I just sit and wonder If love isn't one big blunder But when you hold me tight Tinglin' all through, I feel somehow I was doing all right But I'm doing better Better than ever now
I I have the big satisfactio that my daughter Lkselotte Schuster has goten in touch with Joan chamorrlo and the Sant Andreu Jazz band and is happy to listeb t0 the fine arrangements thi band plays and sound so good.. Liselotte started playing trumpet at 3 years of age and joined the school jazz band at 6 she also plays bass.
Where to start with how wonderful this is? Just Alba’s smile during the verse draws you in from the beginning. Too much else to add, but this Bostonian will be at the CD launch concert On May 21st. That should say enough.
Joan is an entertainer in his own right. Just watch his facial expressions. The music seems to flow through him... I spend more time watching him now. Very expressive dude......
Comme toujours, c'est spectaculaire et incroyablement parfait. La mise en place, les riffs, le groove et le swing sont avec vous. Joan, ce mini big band est exceptionnel. Le morceau se termine par une fin étrange à laquelle je ne m'attendais pas (et que je reprendrai dans mes arrangements). Bravo à l'équipe. Vous êtes les meilleurs, et de très loin.
Alba really good job and as I review this, I see it’s four years ago and you have a really increased to your voice skills. I am so proud of you for what you’re doing and good luck to you in your future Jay Osborne.
Belíssima voz de Alba Armengou. Belíssima performance da banda. Cada dia sinto mais vontade de vê-los ao vivo. Estou estudando sax alto e depois irei para o trompete, tudo por influência de seus jovens talentos e veteranos.
How did I miss this?! Great 40's sound from the brass section, nice going guys and ladies. Elder statesmen flawless as always - coolest female drummer keeping the beat. Alba molt bella de veu i trompeta com sempre i, per descomptat, senzillament bella.
Wonderful voice! As a bassplayer I appreciate the bass in your voice, very unique, Alba. Nice arrangement and musicianship all across. Recently subscribed and have watched a good few of your videos. Hat's off to you Joan for your great work! - and so many amazing young musicians. Very positive project you have here - keep it up! Thanks and congrats! :)
I can't recall ever being so impressed with a drummer as much as I am wih Abril Saurí. You don't notice her because she's sitting in the back busy being perfect. I absolutely adore that young lady.
Alba, you are wonderful!
Ignasi is always so good on piano 🎶❤️🎶
Alba sings as beautiful as she looks. The piano solo of Ignasi was brilliant as usual. Of course, the whole team deserves credit.
🙋♂️.....Alba..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In the first part I was amazed that whatever tiny little nuances were picked up by Alba's mic, her singing voice sounded even more beautiful!

Great arrangement...gotta love that swing!
Alba, kiddo, you are killing this song. Wonderful, you've grown into a true musician. I love it.
The two best moments in this wonderful performance are Alba's deep, resonant voice on the line, "Till you came by" and the expression on Rita Payes's face at the conclusion.

Oh Alba, oh Joan, Yes You were doing all right !
And one more time, Ignasi always at the top, what an imagination, what an inspiration !
What a great time to be alive! So blessed to be enjoying the early years of 21st century musical stars. Thanks to you all for such superb jazz.
The girl with the most beautiful eyes
Yet another musical genius moves up the ranks in Joan Chamorro's school, well on her way to stardom--and just 15 years old when this gig took place. Great to see Rita sitting in on trombone, too!
Alba has such a warm, rich and beautiful voice!
I like the way the band is quiet and Alba is singing quiet in the beginning. I bet someone will jump out of their chair caught off guard.
Alba Armengou vem aos nossos ouvidos, mas nos acerta o coração.
Wonderful Alba. I could listen to her for hours.
Brilliant! The muted brass section with Rita's open trombone created a blended sound I had never heard before! Beautiful! I had to rewind a few times to figure out how they did it. Tight, tight band and orchestration. Thanks Joan, Alba, and troupe!

Super arrangement by Joan Monné, as we have come to expect, great ensemble work ... and just listen to Ignasi's knock-out solo and be amazed !
I like that Joan and Alba choose songs that fit her vocal range. A key to a good performance and a sign of good teaching by Joan.
Alba is an angel, so soulful
She is a cutie...and has a wonderful voice.
Wow, Alba gets better and better and backed by fantastic musicians to a great arrangement. Thank you for sharing this with us 👏👏🎷
Ignasi Terraza me encanta. É um pianista fantástico!!!
Josep and Ignazzi--marvelous in every way here! Love both of them. What a basis they lay down for these great kids---like Alba and everyone. Way to play!!!!

Alba and the whole group sound tremendous.
You're great! Alba's spontaneous voice of deep soul and mind connexion. Thank you everyone!
Beautiful Alba ! Again, again, again and again !
Perfect Ignasi like always !
Lovely Vocal, Alba Armengou and Wonderful Band 👍
Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia.
Have a Blessed Sunday.
what a voice, Alba. Wow.
Qué bien, que sonido tan compacto y armónico. Alba, cómo siempre, exquisita.
nailed it. what a great version of this song.
Another song on top by Alba and the band. I`am impressed of Albas texting in English and the beautiful tone in her trumpet !!!
Well done, thank you. Alba is nice and feeling stronger and more self assured. And Ignasi ... really cannot find words to describe my delight with his masterpiece passage. The brass team - beyond highest prase.
Wonderful! Alba has a very distinctive and memorable voice and style. The band swings like mad and sounds great. I'm especially pleased to see Rita in the band again!

Beautiful Alba and Joan plus band!!...from san francisco 5:07 am. Happy Sunday!

Al di la dell'indiscutibile bravura di tutti gli interpreti, complimenti, come sempre, al vostro grande arrangiatore.
Lyrics :
Used to lead quiet existence,
Always had my peace of mind,
Kept old man trouble at a distance,
My days were silver lined
Right on top of the world I sat,
But look at me now, I don't know where I'm at !
I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
I was doing all right
Till you came by.
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never noticed the rain
Till you came by
But now whenever you`re away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better than ever now
But now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder
But when you hold me tight
Tinglin' all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing better
Better than ever now
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the lyrics
Worth pondering 🤔 you may find a solution 🚀 who can tell 🌈

Gershwin would be very proud!
I love Alba's sweet voice and range, Triste and Shiny Stockings are my favorite, would love to hear her rendition of the song called Dindi and Capim.
Very nice swing arrangement. Alba really has a great voice
No doubt: all of you ARE doing "JAZZRIGHT". Congrats!! Lovely compo
Joan is an entertainer in his own right. Just watch his facial expressions. The music seems to flow through him... I spend more time watching him now.
Very expressive dude......
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful
Comme toujours, c'est spectaculaire et incroyablement parfait. La mise en place, les riffs, le groove et le swing sont avec vous. Joan, ce mini big band est exceptionnel. Le morceau se termine par une fin étrange à laquelle je ne m'attendais pas (et que je reprendrai dans mes arrangements). Bravo à l'équipe. Vous êtes les meilleurs, et de très loin.
Exelente esta presentacion por la inmensa calidad de esta orquesta y de la vocalista.
Buenísimo,Alba Jaz puro, excelente interpretación de todos.Felicitaciones los amo.!!!🎹🎶😘✌️💝🤘🇦🇷💗💞
Qué bien canta esta niña,lo disfruté mucho.
Gracias maestro Joan Chamorro y su extraordinaria banda.😘
Quelle voix, quelle passion, c'est une perle ... bravo Alba !
Nice work,that really swings.
Alba really good job and as I review this, I see it’s four years ago and you have a really increased to your voice skills. I am so proud of you for what you’re doing and good luck to you in your future Jay Osborne.
Having been to the jamboree club it is amazing they all fit on the stage
I'm so jealous!
Just listen, is classic and wonderful. Everything is there. Thank you guys.
Ignasi Terraza Terrific!!!!
Something in the water there the talent just keeps marching forward. Such a large body of work by Joan and the band.
Oh man, does this swing! I've probably watched this several dozen times now, and it's just as fresh as the first time. Perfect all around!
Belíssima voz de Alba Armengou. Belíssima performance da banda. Cada dia sinto mais vontade de vê-los ao vivo. Estou estudando sax alto e depois irei para o trompete, tudo por influência de seus jovens talentos e veteranos.
Muito bom.
Parabéns.
Saudações aqui de Portugal.
Felicidades a todo el grupo Saludos desde San Diego California
Another fine performance from Alba and the group.
Lovely girls...
Alba is singing and Elsa is playing the trumpet.
How did I miss this?! Great 40's sound from the brass section, nice going guys and ladies. Elder statesmen flawless as always - coolest female drummer keeping the beat.
Alba molt bella de veu i trompeta com sempre i, per descomptat, senzillament bella.
Yes a lovely performance. My favorite version of all time is by Dexter Gordon in about 1961
Genial voz, dulce y sensual, linda canción, excelente arreglo.
I like her a lot I wish to see her and Joan’s band someday although I live in America. One day
Beautiful voice and a great performance!!
Love Alba voice!
Woowww...!! Me encanta very swing, me la apunto. No la conocía, gracias por compartir mestre..👏👏👏👏👏
Alba is a Gem.
Doing alright indeed. Love the arrangement.
Siempre alegrando el día Joan y equipo!
Beautiful as usual. なんて素晴らしい。
Très très belle voix ! Très bons musiciens ! Aussi, très jolie...! Encore bravo !

Last line she sings " But I' m doing better than ever now" ... Yup, nothing more to add there.
Beautifully done! Need a mic by the base...would luv to hear Joan more😃
I love this song
Extra ordinaire 👍👍👍
Wonderful voice! As a bassplayer I appreciate the bass in your voice, very unique, Alba. Nice arrangement and musicianship all across. Recently subscribed and have watched a good few of your videos.
