Èlia Bastida: Jazz Musician in New York

About Èlia Bastida

Èlia Bastida is a jazz artist associated with Barcelona’s Sant Andreu Jazz Band, the youth training ensemble led by Joan Chamorro. In New York City, she appears at Dizzy’s Club in programs that place her alongside visiting and local improvisers, including baritone saxophonist Paul Nedzela. Her work reflects the bandstand discipline of an apprenticeship setting, with close attention to ensemble blend and repertoire. Her performances favor clarity and line over spectacle.
