Èlia Bastida Trío & Scott Hamilton

In the history of jazz, there are not many names that come to mind when we talk about the violin other than Stephane Grappelli, Joe Venuti or Jon-Luc Ponty; although fortunately, in recent years, new figures have been joining the ranks, such as Regina Carter or Yilian Cañizares, whom we enjoyed at the last festival. Well, in our country the legitimate representative of this new generation of violinists is, without a doubt: Elia Bastida.

Scott Hamilton (Rhode Island, 1954), a legendary jazz figure, started out with Roy Eldridge, gained experience with Hank Jones, Anita O'Day and Bucky Pizarelli, but became famous when Benny Goodman incorporated him into his band. He has recorded albums with Woody Herman, Tony Bennett and Gerry Mulligan, among others.

Accompanied by Joan Chamorro and Josep Trraver; Elia and Hamilton come to our festival for the first time to offer us a lyrical dialogue full of swing, sure to be surprising.
