played this for my friend, a VERY well known Alto Sax Jazzman here in USA....African American in his 80's still performing, originally from Detroit, a colleague of Barry Harris....He was stunned. Stunnned. Said, "how old is she?" Then I played West Coast Blues....again, stunned by her solo....

Joan Chamorro's cover notes for the CD "Joan Chamorro Presenta Rita Payés" "Rita Payés (14-15 years old, while recording) is a trombonist and singer, but mostly she’s music, in every sense of the word, and a great person ... «She joined Sant Andreu Jazz Band only one year ago, and I’ll never forget the emotion she caused me when I heard her sing Stars fell on Alabama for the first time (issued as part of this record), with a very personal voice, sometimes sharp, sometimes broken, nuanced, perfectly toned and rich in rhythmic contribution. Plus, as a trombonist, she has a clear sound, round, very direct.» -Joan Chamorro"

I don't know how I've missed this one until now. This is a very nice, soft, lightly swinging version of the tune. Scott's face lights up in the middle of Rita's trombone solo. Then, of course, his own solo is just perfect. I think the nicest part of watching these people is seeing the way they enjoy and respect each other so much.

I am not going to say anything about the top notch performance here...it brought me tears of joy. It is my birthday in abut 50 minutes and I want to thank Joan Chamarro for all that he has done for the world of jazz. If not for him and his efforts, all the talent we see here on You Tube everyday would never have happened. How full must his heart be to have done such wonders. I want to thank you Maestro for this birthday present you have been giving me all this year. I have reached 85 successfully and I never thought I would. The music you are responsible for has buoyed me up and a wonderful light of jazz music keeps this old brain smiling and deliriously happy. Here I am again listening to this for the umpteenth time. Can't get enough. Holy Moses!!

Rita is great. Her rendition of this classic is masterful. Andrea’s trumpet and Scott’s sax add stars to the midnight sky. And the pianist and drummer have the lovers dancing on the ballroom floor.

The Young Ladies playing and Singing American Standards are Fantastic.

The song is based on an especially brilliant display of the Leonid meteor shower in the year 1833, supposedly hundreds or even thousands of "shooting stars" that night.

Please dont stop the music! I listen every night for hours...

Makes you glad you are alive!!

It all fits together perfectly, Rita's sweet jazz voice and trombone, Scott's smooth sax, and the Chamorro quintet backing it all. I loved it the many times I've played it.

Rita beyond gorgeous and amazing performance

Joan's super talented Beauties. Super hip. Band equals a rare treasure to keep the Music Advancing. Thanks Joan you guys are terrific!

Great that young musicians can play the American Songbook with such a great talents. In stead of playing scales in impressive tempo where the music is gone. Thank you Chamorro for bringing out these super talented youngsters. And how smart it is to mix in world top musician like Scott Hamilton.

Andrea Motis, Rita Payes, and others... I have no problem hearing the "American" songbook sung with a Spanish lilt --- make it breathe, make it live! Now I know Barcelona is the place to go to see some Jazz in its newer life. Thank you Joan Chamorro and group!

I just can’t get over this extreme talent! Glad I found it.

Please Put On Long Solo Of Rita Payes Playing Trombone, She A Strong And Lovely Player. My First Instrument of Study in the Early 60s.

Love the way Rita sings this beautiful .

Un encanto de tema cantado por un encanto de voz, y tocado con muchísimo paladar, gracias a todos por vuestra labor en favor del estilo. Desde Cádiz con amor.

Of all places the American Standards Song-book is kept alive/rejuvenated from Spain thru these very enthusiastic young Jazz talents from Barcelona. For me is Ignasi, the (not so young) pianist the unsung hero. He has a beautiful touch and interpretation of these Jazzy classic songs with unlimited improvisations and gently breezin’ swing! Dig/Enjoy/cheers!

I've not heard it better than this. Cheers!

We need this music to make a comeback

What a really solid professional Scott Hamilton is, must be an inspiration to the young musicians

Scott Hamilton is so underestimated, He never plays a not that makes no sense, Always nice an melodic, singable stuff, That is way harder to do than running scales up on down at fast tempos. Most people don't get it and would say he is just ok. Scatt plays the way it should be for people to listen, not for musicians.

And, I have to say, Rita Payés is a miracle - both as a singer and trombone player. What a beautiful sound she gets on that instrument - and her singing - reminds me of Billie Holiday - really pure.

Beautifully sung Rita. I love the way you drift gently from note to note. And every note is pitch-perfect. Let's have more of this, and more of your trombone-playing, too.

The girl singing is doing a marvelous job

Love the arrangement and talent of these young people!

Rita, Andrea, and Scott, loved your solos. Terraza's playing as usual is wondeful. Thanks Joan Chamorro for fostering the growth & teaching of young exceptionally talented musicians through the years.

This is my favourite from Rita Payes and I like a lot of her stuff. She has that lilting, understated yet expressive and natural blues voices and cadences, I love it. It's a treasure to listen to.

Rita Payes tienes una de las voces más hermosas que he escuchado en lo que va del año. Gracias y sigue así.

Take a look at the trick the two girls played on Joan on the last part of the song. Andrea looked like she was going to play it, but Rita did it at the last minute-- look at Joan's expression. Kids like to play tricks on their teachers.

I never tire of listening to this group. Too bad we don't have more of this in the USA.

Enjoyed this as much as the definitive rendition of this great standard - Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, Buddy Rich - praise indeed, since that was one of the most perfect jazz recordings ever made. Joan Chamorro and his seemingly endless galaxy of talented young musicians, and the great Scott Hamilton, are an absolutely amazing breath of fresh air and a joy - just brilliant!

Scott Hamilton...Tone....fantastic

I can only say thank you, thank you so much! I'm buying all your recordings, not only for my own sheer pleasure, you deserve all the support and reward for your extraordinary work

It’s worth adding to Paul J’s comment on Rita’s horn, that it’s a much larger instrument, with a larger bore, than the usual trombones which jazz players use. You see horns like that in symphony trombone sections. The advantage is that it puts out a bigger and richer sound; the disadvantage is that it’s much much harder to control. To have taken on that kind of challenge at fifteen, and to make it work as she does, says a lot about Rita personally, all of it in considerable admiration.
