Andrea Motis, The Quiet Trumpet

Who is Andrea Motis?

Where does her magic come from?

What makes people around the world fall in love with her music?

Join us in this intimate personal growth story charged with emotion, fears, doubts, contradictions and jazz, lots of jazz.

About Andrea Motis

Since she first joined Joan Chamorro´s Sant Andreu Jazz Band at the age of thirteen, that small trumpet player became a jazz promise.

Now at twenty-two and a recorded album on the prestigious Impulse! Label, she is moving and filling auditoriums around the world, and yet she continues to be invisible to the world.

This is the magic of Andrea, the triumph of simplicity. Would you help us unveil this secret?

About Joan Chamorro

It´s impossible to separate Andrea Morris from her friend and teacher, Joan Chamorro.

Founder and director of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, this jazz enthusiast put passion in everything he does. Proven to us in the multi lauded A Film About Kids & Music (2012).

Now the director of that same documentary, Ramon Tort, goes a step beyond demonstrating the results in Andrea Motis ´special methodology.

What does the director say?

"In 2009, I was filming the Sant Andreu Jazz Band for a DVD. The concert occurred in the Palau de la Musica, which was completely packed.

When Alba Armengou, who at the time was seven years old, finished the last line in the When you´re smiling and started playing the trumpet, The Palau was perplexed, suddenly the whispers became applause, I started whipping and had to stop filming.

It was at that moment that I knew I had to start this journey. The magical connection that exists between the kids and the audience, how they give it their all, and all of that which they convey; it´s at that moment that I truly understood the need to start this journey, and answer questions one asks himself when something fascinates us.

When Kids and Music was over, I came to the conclusion that I had just ended in a Project that had made me grow both professionally and personally, and I couldnt imagine any reason to continue digging into the same topic;

but during the project´s last years, both the project and the protagonists had exponentially gone beyond borders in an exceptional way. Watching Andrea grow both musically and personally, has made understand the need to continue telling this story.

In no way am I planning a sequel in the sense of the word. I´m not interested in telling the same story from the same point of view.

We will now focus on the innocent humble, sweet, and redemptive gaze that hipnotizes us and that is able to communicate us both enthusiasm and seduce us without the use of excess or excentricity, without being a prototype or a formula. All coming form the simplicity and potency emanating from the simplicity and potency that comes from the sound of her trumpet and a voice that without being virtuose, still manages to excite us.

I want to bring to life this story filled with contrasts, electrifying scenes and low pace from a mysterious serenity, almost inappropriate… I want people to know this same innocence, tenderness, humanity, humility and mysterious serenity that may seem inappropriate…But that has managed to seduce me.“

Andrea is not a conventional artist. She lives in the moment, enjoying the small things in life, every day in the most simplest way possible…An entire magical process that can only be understood through her music, and it´s here where you come in.
