Joan Chamorro presenta Joan Martí

Joan Martí was a member of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band between 2010 and 2020 and I continue to collaborate with him on other projects.

He has led the saxophone string, with a very in tune, powerful sound, with the right vibrato at every moment, expressive and sober at the same time. He has alternated the alto saxophone with the tenor, soprano, clarinet, flute, which has become important in his panoply of instruments, as well as the voice, with which he has a long way to go.

This CD is a balance between arrangements for several instruments (mostly by Joan Monné) and themes in quartet or quintet, also paying tribute to the great tenors in the history of jazz. I would like to highlight the participation of Joe Magnarelli, Perico Sambeat and Carlos Martín as guest soloists and also the rhythm base with Joan Monné, David Xirgu and, in some themes, Josep Traver.

The vocal part, performed by Andrea Motis, Joana Casanova and Joan Martí himself, is also important in some songs.

As well as the original arrangement for the entire Sant Andreu Jazz Band, by Joan Martí himself, of the beautiful song Indian Summer.
