Andrea Motis

• 2-lp gatefold edition

Andrea Motis is a vocalist and trumpet player that hails from Spain, and though she is still in her mid-20s, Motis is already a jazz superstar in Spain and far beyond.

In 2011, Quincy Jones became enthusiastic about the young lady on trumpet and vocals. Motis was also mentored by bassist, tenor saxophonist, and celebrated pedagogue Joan Chamorro, the head of the Catalan talent factory.

In the spring of 2021, Motis joined the WDR Big Band Cologne under the direction of the experienced big band leader Mike Mossman to record her Jazzline records album Colors & Shadows. Mossman arranged all the songs for a delightful collection of fabulous, atmospheric, Latin-oriented setlist. Motis shows herself as an accomplished singer and trumpeter as the remarkable WDR Big Band Cologne virtuosity supports her wonderfully in both roles.
