Jorge Ben - Mais que nada (Big Band)

[frankiisko]

Hi to everyone!

This week I'm going to show you another Big Band from the Villena's Conservatory's work. This piece is called "Mais que nada" and it's a samba composed by the Brazilian Jorge Ben.

This piece is (as i've alredy said) a samba, but, by order of the conductor, we played it with a Bossa Nova's rythm. This is a very known piece (at least in Spain, Portugal and Brazil)

Piano's part isn't very large in relation to musical variety. Godowsky would be very proud of mine (because this piece it's played only with the left hand  )

Thanks for watching it!

That was so amazing, and I don't say it only because I like this song but also for the teamwork and the jazz melody.

My brother and I started to pay more attention to the song since we saw Rio.  This song is Sergio Mendez's signature but Jorge Ben is the one who wrote it.

A part from classical music, jazz is also one of the types of music which I want to play in piano.

Keep that hard work.

Thank you very much! I'm very happy you have liked!!

Next time, i'll put on YouTube a video where we will play this amazing song but in the samba style (double speed)


Thanks!
