It's a great tune but not in anyway relative to this thread titled; "Jazz from Catalonia."
What you've posted is "acceptable" on a music board, there's little enough jazz posted at the best of times, but I respectfully suggest you start a separate thread, if you want to talk about other musicians than those of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band.
I remember this more of a "trad" jazz tune. In my teens I saw Mick Mulligan's Jazz Band play this at a concert. At this time his singer was relatively unknown.... George Melly
two electric guitars on this one.........it's a very 'rock' version
I might have posted this one before as I put this comment on the YouTube video five months ago.
"As an ensemble it was quite good, but the "dramatics" of the tenor player didn't impress me. He needs to watch a Coltrane video to know how to conduct himself on stage."
Coltrane was the "personification of cool" on stage. No such flamboyant behaviour, which I thought unnecessary and distracting.
A shame, as his tone was quite reminiscent.
Jarasum is in the middle of the Korean Peninsular, where this performance was staged at the annual jazz festival held there and Dominic Miller is English.
So this has nothing to do with this thread.
As I suggested earlier, why not start a relative thread, instead of trying to hi-jack this one?
I'm not very keen on the recent uploads with orchestras and strings
And I've started a new project for January........I'm giving the Jazz a miss after a few months concentrating on it
I've decided to 'do' Shostakovich and I'm working my way through his symphonies. This was brought on by that documentary a week or so ago on BBC4 about his 7th Symphony written during the Siege of Leningrad
My previous excursions into Classical stopped around Sibelius' time so this is all new to me
Come on we're celebrating Jazz, Unless you're a Basque separatist, Why are you bogged down with geography, Is Barcelona not acceptable, which towns and villages should we leave out?
This song written in 1935 became a "jazz standard" and has been recorded by many well known artists, from Sinatra to Stan Getz.
New artists have recorded it through the decades. The most popular on YouTube, being the most recent. Diana Krall in 2007.
"The usual suspects," taking their turn within their sections.
I didn't go a bundle on Luigi Grasso, guest soloist on alto.
Yes, he's very proficient, but I was I wasn't impressed with his improvisations, too intricate for me, designed to show off his dexterity.
I'm more of the "less is more" faction. If you let this video run, it led (it did for me) into "Jeep's Blues," with Eva Fernandes and Dick Oates on alto, both with what I consider better tones and not so "busy," particularly Eva,

More Marc Martin.
A well known Antonio Carlos Jobin composition, it's a favourite with jazz musicians.
Translating the Spanish, this is on one of the band's CDs.

Well, Coltrane recorded it amongst others, it's quite a favourite of jazz musicians.

So many different ways of interpreting it.
I guess you have to put it down to the popularity of the show Sound of Music.
Is this in an acceptable Doggy style ? or is it fusion or whatever other redundant genre you've decided is unadmittable?
You've just posted another version of, Coltrane's "Giant Steps" which has been recorded by the world and his wife.
The list is endless.
Then there's these

Hmm..
There's nearly 15,000 hits on this thread so not too unpopular eh?

A good version. Always a "happy" tune.

Jazz in Catalonia
A pleasant enough video.
But it's not from Catalonia,
Jarasum is in the middle of the Korean Peninsular, where this performance was staged at the annual jazz festival held there and Dominic Miller is English.
So this has nothing to do with this thread.

This is from 2013, as were a couple of others posted in the last few days.
Still it was quite a good performance and quite popular, over 800 hits in a day.

I had a look a few days ago but couldn't see anything new
This one from two or three years ago with Scott Hamilton and Ignasi on piano is beginning to seem like 'the golden age'
I quite like Marc Martin but haven't really taken to any of the new saxophone players since Scott left
Is this allowed?
That was wonderful. Thanks for posting...:)
