[Dixielandjazz] Kids 'n' Jazz (in Europe)

[Gary Kiser]

I think I've written about Joan Chamorro before. He is an Italian music 
teacher and director of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band that has gained world 
recognition with his youth jazz groups. I don't care what you think of 
Andrea Motis today, in another five years she will be a force to recon 
with. Anyway, I just stumbled upon a new trailer with some pretty tasty 
testimonials.

Sant Andreu Jazz Band is a project arising from a music class. Directed 
by Joan Chamorro, the big band brings together children between 6 and 18 
years old, around a classic jazz repertoire with lots of swing, which 
gained the public and sold-out some of the most important music 
auditoriums in Spain.

This documentary is a journey led by the orchestra director, which 
immerses us in a unique teaching method as unique as the results it 
unveils. A story that will thrill us with these kids’ staging talent and 
touch us through all sort of sensations that only they are able to bring 
to life.

On this journey they are joined by Jesse Davis, Terell Stafford and 
Wycliffe Gordon, American musicians admired by all jazz music lovers 
that feed the spirit of young talent careers as Elsa, that with only 6 
years old plays trumpet like an angel.


Here are some more videos of his music program.
