2019 how high the moon ÈLIA BASTIDA & JOAN CHAMORRO QUARTET the magic sound of the violin

[@JeffreyPlatt-e8g]

There are some people on this planet that rise above the rest with there talent. 🎉😂❤

[@CTstrat]

So much to love about Elia. She can REALLY swing on three instruments, any one of which would be a career for another musician. Sing? Stunning and unique, a voice that will last along with an innate ability to float around the beat. But my highest praise goes to her astonishing progress on the (in this instance, “fiddle). Jazz violin. She takes great big chances, walks up to the edge....and just when you think she won’t, she miraculously lans back home right on the “1” every time. And if that’s not enough, she nails the toughest skill of all on the violin. She plays in tune! This woman never disappoints., a rarity in any kind of music, but especially jazz.

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Well said. I would only add the rich tone and unique bow stokes/rhythms/mini-expressions that she consistently creates. Every note she plays has it's own sweet adventure

Three instruments? I have only seen on violin and vocals, which are the other one/two? Could you point me to a video she plays other instruments? Thanks, curious to see her on other tones

[@CTstrat]

Ygor Rebouças lots of sax if you look around.

[@artificialplanet1540]

@ Go check her version of "Doralice"!

Wow! That fixed my morning.

[@jorgebermudez2373]

Absolutamente bello...

[@chosdam]

How High the Moon has been called the national anthem of Jazz, but it's been many years since I've heard a new rendition that was completely appreciative of its scope. Elia Bastida has made me so happy today. It's like coming back home. Elia has grace and authority, competence and great form. How magnificent to see the resurrection of the true glory of this music. Thank you Joan for continuing to bring these wonderful people to me, to us, to the world. Thank you!

[@murph3001]

So well said !!

[@sitarnut]

@@murph3001 Joan just needs a humanitarian prize for the icing on the musical cake.

Amen Philip - didn't know that bit of history - much appreciated.

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Thanks, Philip Richman for the informed, informative comment. A joy to read. As this is, to listen-to.

[@zzausel]

Elia is already perfect, what could the devellope next ten years?

[@carlogiani4321]

Quando ascolto la musica non ho pensieri. I pensieri sono solo illusioni, solo miti. Mi lascio compenetrate dalle vibrazioni della musica che sono reali.

[@CilyaBorscht]

damn - I could listen to this violin forever

[@donaldparks6087]

Elia's eyes are closed, putting her at one with the music. Many others at SAJB do this making for a beautifully intimate performance. Guillermo is a great drummer, and Carla--what can I say? the unison with Elia is very clean and the whole piece is brilliant. Thanks much!!

[@nemo227]

Each time I listen it sounds better and better.

[@aadpoppelier1796]

Élia Bastida is really incredible! If I listen to her with my eyes closed, I hear Stephane Grappelli, or Svend Asmussen. Fantastic! Congratulations! Go on, Élia. I admire you.

[@filax11]

Èlia Bastida is the unique reincarnation of both Svend Asmussen and Stephane Grappelli in one wonderful talented human being! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5rRm5WHlpqGnpI

[@eytonshalom]

i have never been able to bear Grappelli's tone, which is really unpleasant to me. i like Eddie South much more. i like her playing more than Grappelli's will check out Svend, thanks you, donot know him...

[@cliffmale9528]

The brilliant Elia Bastia. Including the rest of the team great playing.

[@robertbudnik3318]

She could burn down Rome with her fiddle! That guitarist absolutely dazzles!

[@eytonshalom]

so much progress in such a short time. early videos she is a talented kid. now this is really exciting violin...wonderful..just bought the CD.

[@robertbudnik3318]

This is so Paris jazz cafe!

[@fongwk2835]

Elia never fail to draw the strings of many heart's with her violin!

[@RonaldCid]

Joan Chamorro, Èlia Bastida, Josep Traver, Guillermo Soler and Carla Motis are the future of jazz. Èlia plays like a mature jazzer, perfect notes, perfect swing, perfect timing, pure perfection, Add in Soler and Travers swinging in the background...Chamorro the coach on the sidelines pushing his players to make more touchdowns! Carla adding in the perfect rhythm chops and culminating in Ornithology....Bird lives! Hats off to Chamorro...this will be featured on my daily videos on Facebook! Thanks for posting RC

[@robertvanruyssevelt7159]

Josep Traver is a fine guitarist. I suspect that playing with Andrea Motis and Elia Bastida is pushing him to even greater heights.

[@RonaldCid]

@@robertvanruyssevelt7159 Robert..I suspect that you are 100% correct....all of these young people are being affected by playing with the older people, and visa versa...I only see good in all of these videos....each and every musician are learning, and most of all swinging. I just wish that this was better known over here in Canada.

[@antonmilland1905]

Elia Bastida must rank as one if not the best female jazz violinists in the World.... long may her talents shine with the wonderful support of Joan Chamarro and the rest of his talented musicians in the Sant Andreu Jazz Band !

[@Ginny2708]

I live for the sound of that violin.

[@johno2979]

Another favorite musical star!

[@denisbeautrix1829]

Wow! You (all) give me joy when playing. Really splendid ! May I add that Josep Traver is one of the most delicate and inspired guitar player I know. There can not be bad music when Joan is around. 🎻👍🙏

[@gheffz]

In a word ... beautiful !!! ( _both Violin and Guitar_ )

[@farkasgabor3491]

After reading the poetic perfection of the native English speakers below in the nice comments, I hardly dare to say anything about the beauty of this music. I am a real fan of Mr. Chamorro’s work, this time I would just mention the great unisono of the last few bars by Carla with Elida.

[@JBFire97]

Just wonderful, thank you all!

[@paulmasonsjazz9611]

Another gem from the Jazz Centre of the world! Elia's CD is truly magical from beginning to end and for us all to be able to see the performances as well is the icing on the cake! For me it makes the CD even more magic when I listen to it again (and again!!!).

[@josephkarl2061]

Love that guitar / drum solo section at the end ❤

[@glyndavies]

This is all wonderful, but the last 30 seconds is breathtaking. My humble thanks to the whole group.

[@alanblackwood1]

What a lovely violinist to listen to and to watch. Thanks you Elia.

[@rbsprods3200]

Phenomenal violin chops by Èlia, complete with 'quotes', and Josep's solo is marvelous. The rhythm guitars & drummer are also great. Thanks, Joan. You're the best leader they could have!

[@cjgaddy]

“How High The ELIA VENUTI” !!! What a genius superstar player this remarkable young lady is! GO ELIA VENUTI! (and Elia Getz and Elia Fitzgerald too!!)

[@ronaldunkel2681]

A truly beautiful performance! Thinking about “Hot Club De France” with Grappelli and Django. But what is being played here is out of this world!! Just beautiful, beautiful! Enjoy this gem & Cheers!

Her use of harmonics is just stunning

[@wolfgangsuehrer5405]

Hi Elia and all other fine musos, lively and uplifting performance of an old standard. Thanks for playing so beautifully with lots of great improvisation by the lovely Elia.

[@jean-marcluthi8006]

I would like to stay by you and hear, again and again. Wonderful. Bravo you are great.

[@artequintanilha]

Magnífica Èlia Bastida. Um grande talento admirável.

[@stevenbrown9275]

Well done everyone. A beautiful song beautifully played. I just got the album, The Magic Sound of the Violin, and highly recommend it.

[@ssnoc]

Her closed eyes convey to me such internal peace and beauty - she is so one with the music and her ability to execute those moves ... well, it just blows me away ⭐️🙏🍷

[@65dirt]

Yet another great rendition of a great classic

[@monsieurPessoa]

Superbe ! Le son du violon s'approprie merveilleusement ce standard. Bravo ÈLIA !

[@TheJoemar11]

The magic sound of the violin coupled with the magic sound of the guitar...what a delicacy ! Beautiful !

[@joseerasmo6070]

No words.....fantastic! From the heaven Grappelli is applauding !

[@bclare2544]

Very nice from Elia and the group.

[@martinroberts7382]

Magical! - Superb performance. Unusual to hear this number begin with the 'verse', but why not?... it leads in nicely to the part we all know and love and Èlia gives it her all.

[@melvinenos2781]

Elia, you are Fantastic!!! Josep , I wish I could play guitar like you!! I love Carla playing note for note with Elia towards the end! Great job JC band!!!

[@RalphDratman]

Fantastic! That is amazing progress and some beautiful playing. Congratulations to Elia! And as always, my admiration goes out to her dedicated teachers. Your work and the young people's engagement have become a welcome antidote to depression for me during a difficult time in my country and my own life.

[@marcorodriguesdoaraujo2663]

É sempre uma grande alegria rever esse encontro com Èlia Bastida, Josep Traver, Carla Motis,Guillermo Soler e o notável e querido Joan Chamorro. Não canso de apreciar esse vídeo. Ate breve, desligo.

[@wolfgangsuehrer5405]

Elia, you are just fantastic! You would be about one of the best jazz musicians on the violin in the whole world. All the other artists in the combo are also of the highest standard. You all give a music lover like myself immeasurable amounts of joy and happiness. Thanks for all your wonderful, outstanding performances. Wolfgang Suehrer, Australia

[@dongaetano3687]

That was great Elia, nice slow "singing" of the old tune in the entry and snappy up tempo finish. Impressed at your speed and accuracy and interpretation, nice one. Noticed Carla in the duet with identical notes near the end. Josef's beautiful smooth guitar throughout and Guillermo's accents great. Thanks Joan C for all this music.

[@joanguillengallen2617]

Magistral Elia, muy bien acompañada. Again thanks mister Chamorro

[@dongaetano3687]

@@joanguillengallen2617 Thanks for this reply JGG - "muy bien" - the whole group!! Some days off and getting ready to go fishing - stopped to listen again because of your reply notice. This time paid a bit more attention to Josef and Guillermo's back and forth section up tempo - de - lightful!! Elia's speed and precision, Carla's as well, and Senor Director in print shirt working very hard in this one as well. Music this good makes me almost Euphoric. Love the group. Love the old tune well done.

Steaming along!! Fantastic. So tight and so talented. Thanks.

Que legal, Carla Motis solando!! Video lindo.

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

The Mona Lisa of the Jazz violin amazes us again! (And, what a joy it must be to be included in any one of Joan's musical groups!). And the perfectly synchronized duet with Carla is something quite special - 4:15

[@GaylordBuzzard]

Wonderful description of Elia. Spot on.

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

@@GaylordBuzzard And the absolute calm and confidence of Elia and Carla as they sail blithely through that intricate duet - as though they are playing a couple bars of chopsticks. And I love the genuine appreciation and respect we see between Carla and Elia (and the respect we see for one another throughout SAJB)

As others have said, Èlia just keeps getting better and better, even when you think it's not possible. And wow, has Carla come a long way! That duet at the end is wonderful -- heck, it's all wonderful, this is a total treat!

[@martinholmes6152]

ALL STRINGS AND BRUSHES! Fantastic original sound, hugely creative soloing, Èlia. This would be a GREAT DEMO PIECE for you you to send out to, say, the WDR Big Band, where you could follow in Andrea Motis’ tracks and get directly on the bigger world stage, if you want to. Esto lo mereces 1000%!! God, you deserve it!!
