Jazzing 13 - Passing the torch

PASSING THE TORCH was the name of the concert we gave at the Palau de la Música on 25 November 2022, as part of the 54th Barcelona Jazz Festival, and it is the name of this new album in the jazzing collection, number 13. On 2 December 2010, the Sant Andreu Jazz Band made its debut at the Palau de la Música Catalana, accompanied by the Locomotora Negra.

12 years later, La Locomotora said goodbye to the stage in a concert entitled "Passing the torch" with the SAJB. This concert was a tribute to the past, present and future of jazz, with three of the founders of La Locomotora Negra (Marc Trepat and the brothers Ricard and Toni Gili) as guests of the band.

On the other hand, "Passing the Torch" also had to do with the renewal of the musicians who are part of the project, which has been very big in the last two years. A lot of new faces, new challenges, new illusions.

The concert was recorded in its entirety and can be enjoyed again with this new album by the Sant Andreu Jazz Band. I hope it has the same reception as the previous ones among the followers of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band and people who love Jazz, a music that I am particularly passionate about. We continue with the same enthusiasm as always, if not even more.

The dream continues to come true.
