“The Nearness of You” Èlia Bastida meets Scott Hamilton with Joan Chamorro trio 

What a wonderful version. Grappelli has nothing on Elia and Hamilton is always great, but then Joan Manne is equal to it all on the piano. Once again, thank you Chamorro for putting together such a great group of musicians!

Beautiful! How wonderful to get to play with Scott💖

One the best ever songs. Played beautifully.

Èlia, I could listen to you for ever! Scott isn't too bad either! 😅🥰

Wonderful! Ms Bastida is really talented. Thank you for posting.

This is the stuff that dreams are made on. I can sit back with a glass of scotch and let the troubles of the day melt away when I listen to this.

Without minimizing the obvious talent of Madame Bastida, Scott Hamilton is like a great Bordeaux, it gets better with age and delivers all its aroma with a delicious piece of Chamoro

Magnificent Elia 💯 and The others Jazz Musicians ❣️💯👏👍✌️.

I was overwhelmed by the talented tunes of Elia and thought, what should Scott Hamilton add to it? And - wow - he uncorks a whole new world of sound - marvellous! Joan Monné tunes in with his beautiful solo, but - hey - he's just an ordinary adult - descend for Elia!

You got to love Joan Chamorro for his bringing up and supporting young musicians. Ms. Bastida violin is so relaxing and sensual to the ear. The whole song is a delight to listen to. Your all so wonderfully talented. Thank you sharing your great work! BRAVO!!!

The look of sheer bliss on Scott Hamilton's face at the start of the video says it all. Bliss.

Like others have said : A female Stephane.. Perfect phrasing for this tune.. Nice piano work by Joan Monne as well...

Elia, that was beautiful!!! You and Scott rally did an excellent job on that one. I hadn't heard this before and I love it! Grappelli and Venuti would both be proud of you on that rendition of "The Nearness of You." Great job -- wow!!! ☺️☺️☺️

And thank you Hoagy Carmichael too

Èlia, your sound/play is mesmerising. The concept of your inter-play, with Scott’s melodic solo are weaving it together like exquisite string of pearls. Beautifully played. Cheers!

There's a very romantic lyric for this and the melody is too, it adds to the experience to see it played by a talented and lovely young woman, and always a bonus to have a Scott Hamilton solo, thanks for posting it.

One of the all time great versions of this classic tune!

Wundervolle Musik - und was für eine schöne Frau! Das kann man sich immer wieder ansehen. DANKE Élia!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hoping this will be on Elia’s album, just gorgeous. 🙏

Dear Elia, this version of The Nearness of You, with you and Scott Hamilton, is the most beautiful instrumental interpretation of this song that I have heard. The music of SAJB has been a great comfort to my wife and me during this pandemic. One of our favorite videos is your performance, with Scott Hamilton and Ignasi Terraza, of "Stardust -- Shine". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CuHrydtkVAQ.html That song is like a bright light of optimism in a difficult time. At the end of that video it is wonderful to see Joan Chamorro so excited and happy.

So beautiful

Wonderful version of this classic. Elia is masterful

Always loved this song here. My mother would be doing dishes and singing to it in the background. She remembers every word.

Stéphane Grapelli is back! And this time with much better legs!

I have never such beautiful music

Pura magia y sentimiento, lo acabo de escuchar, al atardecer, con esa luz del sol cuando se acaba de poner, y se superpone con las farolas recién encendidas.... pura magia musical.

I dedicate this song to all who came here and listened to this song. So nicely done. Thanks for posting.

Oh! Nothing to say but...perfection. Walt

Si cierras los ojos y escuchas sin dudar te dices que ese violin y esa técnica solo la tiene Stéphane Grappelli. Abres los ojos y ves que es Elia Bastida. Una joven màs de la gran "Escuela Chamorro'' para delicia de los que amamos el jazz. Sobre Scott, todo estuvo dicho. Desde Paris todas mis felicitaciones.

The Nearness of You is the nearness of great music. Thanks, Èlia, Scott and Joan Chamorro trio.

C'est magnifique, merci à tous.

“Èlia Bastida .....Fantástica

Sobrecogedor. Es la primera vez desde que comento estos videos en youtube que acabo literalmente con los ojos llenos de lágrimas. Y no es algo que me pase a menudo, todo lo contrario ... Pero lo que hacen Èlia, Scott y el maestro Munné con este bellísimo tema es pura magia, pura sensibilidad, puro sentimiento, puro corazón. Han sacado de mí emociones que creía perdidas hace mucho, mucho tiempo. Solo puedo felicitarles y agradecerles este maravilloso regalo para los oídos y para el espíritu.

Perfect. A match made in heaven you guys are.

Every time I play this I get tears in my eyes..... awesome!

Thanks to all of You! Special thx to Joan, for making this happen! Èlia -- the best jazz violinist so far (before it was Mr Stefan) Scott 👏👏👏

My favorite group. Always enjoy this great music.

Just marvellous!

A Joan Chamorro, Mi única palabra es admiración por lo que haces, como sacas el talento de músicos jóvenes, niños algunos, junto a grandes músicos como I. Terraza, Josep Traver, Scott Hamilton, etc... Gracias por el regalo que nos haces, por el ejemplo que estás dando. Puedes estar bien orgulloso de lo que haces. Gracias.

Que Gran Talento 🌹

Élia, meu coração é levado para longe pelo seu violino mágico.

And ok mister piano man I'm sorry for ignoring but your Gershwin clip from Rapsody in Blue got me and I'm sure Oscar Levant would have approved

My heart melts every time I hear this!

Muchísimas gracias por ofrecer Arte, Talento y Paz. Abrazos desde la Patagonia, Argentina.

Es que no se puede tocar mejor, esta niña es un tesoro tocando el violín, de Scott Hamilton ya no digo nada, siemprer ha sido uno de mis saxo tenores favorito, el pianista, desconozco su nombre, es magnífico y Joan, me saco el sombrero por él, todas las formaciones que organiza de estos maravillosos músicos jóvenes son una delicia, yo por ser músico. pianista ya entrado en años aprecio en su justo valor la música que hacen esta gente. BRAVÍSIMO !!!

Great! Phenomenal musicians, all of you! Thank you so much for the joy!

Thanks Great music your skills bring out in the young musicians. Love every video.

I could listen to them all day long

C'est du pur bonheur que de vous écouter jouer ainsi ! Bravo ! Thank you for this wonderfull musical moment !

Élia...., qué excelente, dulce y magnífica interpretación..... Tanto vos como Scott, la fueron construyendo con mucho sentimiento y te aseguro que me envolvió totalmente. Élia, sos una maravillosa interprete con tu violín que pareciera que naciste para tocar jazz.... Me hacés disfrutar en cada tema. Muchas gracias.....

A delight to see and hear! A foretaste of more good things coming our way in due course with the new CD. This trio with Elia and Scott Hamilton is awesome....

That was so beautiful. It's amazing how much your violin sounds like your own voice. I can't wait until I can fly out to Barcelona and see you guys again... :-)

... I closed my eyes trying to catch some moments of this tremendous resemblance ... and ... it seemed to me I `m hearing Grapelli & Petrucciani playing something like - These Foolish Things - or some similar .... I l o v e this divine piece and I love your a m a z i n g playing !!! B R A V O !!!

Wow, beautiful performance by all. That was brilliant!

We are SO READY to see you in the USA!!! Love from central Oregon!

Juste magnifique, quel qintet!

SHOW DE COMPETÊNCIA GERAL, EXCELENTE HARMONIA, MÚSICA E APRESENTAÇÃO PARA NUNCA ESQUECER. PARABENIZO A TODOS. ABRAÇOS CORDIAIS.

Superb! How lovely this is.

omg Scott is such a talented expresionful musician and Elia is exceptional too for her young age. Fantastic.

Scott + Elia! Classic recordings.

Great

Magnifica interpretacion !! Sweet Wow !!

So great, lovely music, so mellow and sweet. Great masters of music.

Wow!!! Absolutely fantastic!!

This is superb.

Elia---what style and groove! I really hope you will check out the great Florian Zabach from the 1950's. I enjoyed him on early television when I was a kid. He was the only jazz violinist I ever wanted to listen to until I discovered you and Sant Andreu. Whatever you want to play, I'll be listening and I hope someday to be in the same room when you do.

Oh boy! Perfection and watery eyes with appreciation for all you lovely talented people...God given. Thanks! Walt

Fantástica....

Phenomenal and scary at the same time. Stéphane Grappelli would be proud of Èlia. Scott is mellow tenor sax perfection. all backed by Joan's sensitive bass and some fabuous piano 'comping' and soloing by the other Joan. Thank you, so much, Èlia!!

Hello from Vancouver. What Joy to listen to you. and I always like to rise and listen to your music, it is my " Yoga" for facing the rest of the day. Thank you Elia you are very soulful, like the rest of the group. Bravo.

LOVE IT!!!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!

Such tenderness...

music that makes you happy.

Scott te luces... Y por mucho destacas, eres grande entre los grandes el pianista esta dentro también por supuesto la loable labor al frente de este movimiento jazzistico es invaluable... Pues a puesto a parte de España a roncar a la cueva de los leones... 👋👋👋👋👋👍👉🎷❤️@EricVisAtman

HERMOSA , CUANTA SINSIBILIDAD , ERES EL AMOR PLATONONICO DE MI VIDA , ELIA MI AMOR MUSICAL.

Ella/Scott marvelous talented stylist! love your work!!!

Preciosos!

Love it, from Sheridan, Wyoming!

Beautiful

Excellent music 👍 🎶

è una grande gioia ascoltarvi

Please come to the US!

Più di tante parole basta vedere il volto soddisfatto di Scott nel sentire suonare Èlia. Ad un certo punto gli scappa pure un sospiro di malinconia.

Love you all...greetings from Sweden

Quin regal!! Gràcies!!

Absolutely beautiful❤

¡Qué placer escucharos! ¡Enhorabuena!

John Venutti and Stephane Grapelli would be very proud.

It will be nice to see and hear unmasked music and expression again now that the nonsense has been exposed. It really is important to say because they wanted all of this to end. I hope people have gotten an understanding of what just happened over the past few years. Let Freedom ring!

saxophone+violin = king+queen

Hermoso...

Vocês são ótimos!👏👏🥰

Hermoso saludos desde Bronx NY

I like the nearness of you four/. Elegante/.
