Alba Armengou, Carla Motis and Èlia Bastida have grown up jazzy in the context of my project Sant Andreu Jazz Band. The idea of uniting them on the same stage in this small format came from seeing that the combination of their voices, instruments and musical tastes could give a good result. To have the great tenor sax Scott Hamilton in this recording is, once again, a dream for us. 

And it is not by chance that he is part of the last cd's that I have recorded with the three of them, as part of the collection "Joan Chamorro presenta" and the last album with Èlia, "The magic sound of the violin". Listening to this cd brings us back to what the concert was like, in the framework of the Barcelona Jazz Festival, on November 27th 2019. A concert where we can see the magic of jazz in the 16 songs that were part of the set list of the session. https://santandreujazzband.bandcamp.com/album/joan-chamorro-new-quartet-scott-hamilton
