Bastida

Two years after the CD "Joan Chamorro presenta Èlia Bastida", in which she appeared in her different facets as a performer (violinist as main instrument, vocalist and tenor saxophone), we give birth to this "The magic sound of the violin".

However, Joan Chamorro, director of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, took advantage of the situation and recorded different rehearsals with small groups at the Jazz House, headquarters of the SAJB. They will be released as Jazzing 11 vol. 2 and Jazzing 11 vol. 3.Finally, it was possible to perform within the framework of the Barcelona Jazz Festival 2020, a concert that was also recorded and that will be released as Jazzing 11 vol. 4.

The Jazz House, home of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, has become something really special. Classes, rehearsals, recordings, meetings, interviews. The video series "The Jazz House Sessions", started in 2018, and with more than 150 videos (and the list is still growing) reflects part of our history, as well as the evolution of the young musicians who participate in the recordings.

This new work, although it includes many vocal themes, also contains so many instrumental themes in which the increasingly numerous soloists of the orchestra have their opportunity to share their creativity, their ability to generate their own discourse, in a continuous evolution.

EL JAZZING 8 – vol 1 (Temps Record, 2018) de la Sant Andreu Jazz Band és la mostra del treball realitzat durant l’any 2017, en diferents contextos: Sat, sala Omega, del Taller de Músics, sala Jamboree, ha estat un any molt fructífer i hem incorporat molts arranjaments nous, com sempre, buscant nous reptes i descobrint a nous solistes, que a força d’escoltar molta música i treballar individual i col·lectivament, aconsegueixen uns resultats meravellosos. Aquest nou treball, tot i que inclou molts temes vocals, també hi ha molts instrumentals en on els cada vegada més nombrosos solistes de l’orquestra tenen la seva oportunitat de compartir la seva creativitat, la seva capacitat de generar un discurs propi.
