Sedajazz Youth Big Band

Sedajazz Youth Big Band

This spectacular formation consists of 23 young individuals who astonish and move audiences with their great maturity, skill, creativity, energy, and wisdom despite their youth. They are the pride and banner of the collective, demonstrating that jazz can be performed excellently from a young age.

They dared to play with music that challenged them beyond just holding their instruments. They dared to play with music that would teach them to walk differently and to live the bewilderment of freedom. In that childlike encounter, where there were little ones who played more than they spoke, they planted the idea that the Sedajazz Kids Band could lift imagination onto the swing wagon to enjoy a journey through time together. And to feel together that this music is about listening, sharing, and living the thrill of finding your own voice. And they, without filters, have always been generous in this adventure, giving us all they had. They, from the purity of their days, have shown that enjoyment and learning were the driving forces of each rehearsal, and every new stage.

Over these years, they have breathed music, growing through it, shining with this human nature filled with melodies, and showing that a voice in the meeting of others goes far beyond the sum of sounds. Thus, daring to play, to be child musicians, they have created a memory that will always accompany them so they can listen to the image of their childhood and not lose the certainty that when you care for the seed, what sprouts always surprises. (Marta Ramon)

Twenty-three musicians with a very clear objective, to learn and enrich themselves with the Big Band repertoire. The Jove Big Band Sedajazz brings together young people of different ages who can communicate individually through their instruments, and be part of a unit where everyone finds their space.

The appeal of the repertoire is based on its combination of standards and arrangements of great hits from the history of Jazz: soundtracks, funk, rock, and Latin jazz.

It is worth mentioning the musicians who have played and collaborated with the Jove Big Band Sedajazz, such as Jesús Santandreu, Joe Magnarelli, Perico Sambeat, Sara Dowling, Chris Cheek, Rex Richardson, Toni Vaquer, David Pastor, Sole Jiménez, Andrea Motis, Rita Payés, Dómisol Sisters, Vicente Macián, Pedro Iturralde, Voro Garcia, Toni Belenguer, Alexey León, Miquel Alvarez, Joan Saldaña, and Pepe Zaragoza, among others.
