Some of Catalonia's most talented young jazz musicians, with special guests Ricard Gili on trumpet, dance by Maniacs and the voices of Andrea Motis, Eva Fernández, Magalí Datzira and Alba Armengou.
You’ll be amazed, that is, if you are not already a fan of this band, formed six years ago in Barcelona’s Sant Andreu neighbourhood. For these musicians are just seven to eighteen years old, but perform as if they were born playing sax, trumpet or piano. Formed by the youngest talents on the Catalan jazz scene, the band has already released three CDs featuring guest appearances by some of the world’s leading jazz stars.
In this joyful, energetic show, the young musicians will also sing and dance, and the audience will surely tap their feet to the rhythms of a rich repertoire as lindy hop and tap dancers accompany this heady mixture of Dixie, New Orleans, swing, big band, bebop, funk and vocal jazz. A show that will have us all swinging, dancing and and smiling to beat the hand.
