Jazzing 12 Vol. 2

A great party, yes, that is what the concert at the Palau de la Música was on December 10, 2021 as part of the Barcelona Jazz Festival.

This concert is the one you have in your hands, on two CDs, because it was a musically generous concert, where we managed to bring together practically all the musicians who had gone through the project plus those who were part of it at that time. In total, 64 musicians, plus regular guests: Ignasi Terraza, Josep Traver and Esteve Pi.

It was really wonderful to be able to come together and make music again and recreate some of the most popular songs from all these years (plus 3 new songs that we had never recorded before). A jazz party in style, where it was exciting to hear the evolution of many of the musicians I hadn't heard for years. Many of them have their own projects and play an important role in the current jazz scene.

This recording is really very special, both emotionally and musically. In some of the songs we can practically hear two big bands playing at the same time, with two drummers, two bassists, two guitars, 10 saxophones, 6 or 7 trombones, 6 or 7 trumpets, choirs of more than 10 people, etc.

It wasn't easy, but we made it possible. Because, as I already said back in 2009, in the first JAZZING: the Sant Andreu Jazz Band is a dream come true. And we are in 2022 (the year in which this 2021 recording appears) and we continue dreaming.
