Marçal Perramon, from a family of musicians, started with the clarinet from a very young age. At the age of 11 he began to play the tenor sax, which has become his main instrument. At the age of 12, he was transcribing and memorizing Ben Webster, Lester Young. It was an immense pleasure to teach him. I immediately incorporated him to the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, in which he was between 2012 and 2020. At present, I continue to count on him for other projects. In 2014 he sat in the chair of the first tenor sax of the saxophone string of the SAJB and no longer got up. It has been really wonderful to see its evolution in all aspects. On an instrumental level, as their sound was acquiring with each passing day, more nuances, more depth, more warmth, inspired by the great tenors of jazz history. The phrasing got better every day. The ideas, improvised, based on the language acquired by listening and daily transcription, took a different form as he made them his own.

And all these aspects were accompanied by self-assurance, knowing that he was on the right track. Practice and study, the commitment to music, the love and passion that he shows in every note that comes out of his vintage tenor saxophone (I remember exactly the day he decided to buy it ... what a good decision!) Make Marçal a musician from jazz from head to toe. And all this evolution has been recorded in the more than 30 cd's that he has recorded with the SAJB or with related projects, some with musicians of the stature of Joel Frahm, Scott Robinson, Scott Hamilton, Dick Oatts or Joe Magnarelli himself, that is present on this disc. In this presentation album, Marçal is sublime, both with the tenor saxophone and with the clarinet. His phrasing is forceful in the fast beats, swinging in the middle beats, as well as deep and sensitive in the ballads. It is a disc full of nuances, an album that moves through different sounds with some touches of Brazilian themes, performed by Alba Armengou on vocals, a big band theme with all the Sant Andreu jazz band and a vocal theme performed by Andrea Motis . He also shares a couple of songs with his colleague Joan Martí, who is also releasing a presentation album at the same time. We have luxury guests such as the aforementioned Joe Magnarelli or Perico Sambeat and Carlos Martín. Also the presence of Joan Mar Sauqué on trumpet, on Marçal's own original theme, “Bluesuses” and a wonderful rhythmic section with Joan Monné on piano, David Xirgu on drums and Josep Traver on guitar in some themes. Marçal Perramon is not only a very good musician, sight reader and original improviser. Marçal is a professional you can fully trust. Therefore, if you need a solvent tenor saxophone and clarinetist, don't hesitate, Marçal Perramon is the one.Translate By Google https://santandreujazzband.bandcamp.com/album/joan-chamorro-presenta-mar-al-perramon
