However, every single member of this first ever female Spanish Big Band is regarded as a genius in their own line of expertise.<br \/>\nThe five days staying at the Valpara\u00edso Residence were filled with intense creative rehearsal sessions, where they bonded together as a single band, recording a new album and video to add a valuable record of new Spanish jazz music to the collections held by both Foundations.<br \/>\n\tPablo Mazuecos, the Director of Clasijazz and Beatrice Beckett, Valpara\u00edso Founder, expressed the importance of this initiative in opening the way for other young jazz players, whilst encouraging them to forge their way in the professional world of music. The Band\u2019s residential stay took place despite all the current difficulties and, as Mazueco said, &#8220;may the music never stop and let it continue in a safe way.&#8221;<br \/>\nTheir first concert and debut to the public was scheduled for last Sunday at Almer\u00eda\u2019s Maestro Padilla Auditorium, but this was not possible due to the latest sanitary measures due to Covid -19.  However, they were able to stream it from the Valpara\u00edso Foundation, giving jazz lovers the chance to see and hear their great sounds.<br \/>\nThe repertoire included the absolute best compositions by top female jazz composers such as Toshico Akiyoshi and Miho Hazama (who are scheduled to come to Valpara\u00edso when health measures permit), as well as other great names including Mary Lou Williams and Christine Jensen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moj\u00e1car\u2019s Valpara\u00edso Foundation recently held the first full assembly of the Valpara\u00edso Big Band, following a five year collaboration project [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":15107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"#ffffff","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualidad-en","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15105\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mojacar.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
