Joan Chamorro presenta Èlia Bastida

Èlia Bastida is a violinist, tenor saxophonist and singer, and has been a member of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band for 5 years at the time this CD was released.

Expressive, passionate, creative, curious, surprising, looking for her own way with an instrument like the violin, in which the references are much less than in other instruments more common in jazz. A search that leads her to open up possible new paths, unconsciously incorporating the challenge of contributing something new, without pretensions, but with a long road ahead to explore.

In love with bebop and hardbop, but also interested in the origins of jazz, as well as in Brazilian music, and, beyond labels, in the music that gives her the possibility to express herself, to contribute by doing her bit in this world in need of beautiful sounds and messages that only music is capable of transmitting.
