Her phrasing and timing are amazing for a 14 year old. Nice chops with those scales too. Wish we could have heard some of the licks. Definitely going places.

GHRiz As a classical violinist in University, can confirm she is in great shape for 14 years old

As a 14 year old violinist myself, I am so inspired by this level of musicality and am impressed at how she executed this piece so nicely. I hope to see more of her in the future and am aiming to try this in my own time as well.

It's so cool to see this because I've had the pleasure of playing with Gianna for over a year now at The Orange County School of the Arts and this is the recognition she deserves. She has quite the ear and plays straight from the heart... I'm looking forward to playing with her more in the future!

wooww 14 years old! It's amazing to see young people learning and playing so well jazz tunes :)

Impressive improvisational "chops". You are right when you say she will be going places. Her scales at the end brought back my Hanon days on the piano.

Damn, her technique is impeccable. Great lines too!

She has a very natural feel of timing and phrasing , and at that age wow!

Wow. So many times I hear a jazz violin that compromises tonal accuracy for the sake of fast flowing motions, sometimes those slightly inaccurate motions work well as a blues, generating a feel, but mostly it's just sloppy playing as they player tries to merge improvisational techniques with pattern memory, I spent years playing like that until I gained an appreciation of tonal accuracy with experience. It's great to see such a young player show their ability not just to play, but to show their appreciation of tonal accuracy when they play, its exquisite to hear the right notes played in such a way that the appreciation for accuracy is what is communicated to the listener. All she has to do is relax now a little and she will open a world of beauty, at 14 though, maybe just keep working hard... thanks for playing!

I’m a violinist and not sure what you mean by tonal accuracy. Do you mean intonation?

@saxtant

@@hopelessviolin4690Intonation would refer to a rhythmic or suggestive expression of a note, along with a possible tonal inflection. I'm referring to her ability to land cleanly on a note and sustain it with a simple consistent inflection, this then shines a light on the precision of the pitch of that note within the mode. Some modes benefit from subtle discrepancies in pitch for some of their notes, in order to present a more well tempered blues for example. Her sense of pitch relations within a mode are not bluesy for this piece, but do carry a distinct feel that is appealing, being pretty close to chromatic pitch and confidently represented.

Wonderful playing ... Gianna swings .... and her spacing is excellent. Live and love and learn about life ... and read about feelings ... and they you will have life's experiences to convey through your excellent technique .... the world awaits your talent. PS ... the accompanying was superb.

Divine beauty... She has her own style... Not copying any of the violin greats... Beautiful spirit!

Great piano playing.

Fantastic.

Silky. Nice hearing her play and watching your face as you react to her playing. :)

OMG! She did it all from memory!

amazing talent. lovely tone and a good head on her. she makes it flow very well already.

She's awesome! You were great too Aimee. haha

That was amazing!!!!

this is the umpteenth time iv'e watched this... this time i just listened to your beautiful comping aimee, your soft touch and wonderful chords! if gianna can play more with professional seasoned musicians on your level she will grow leaps and bounds.... i havent always been a complete fan of jazz violin until this video and gianna. i love the deep almost tenor sound she gets and using little vibrato only at the end of those long notes. i hope you can do more videos together aimee and gianna. thank you so much for making such beautiful music together and sharing! p.s. i love that you played this at a slower tempo than it usually is played. the real beauty of the melody comes out. such a sensitive reading of the song.

Woooowww amazing...

Wow. She's really good .

Great, Gianna and Aimee! Young people have a chance to play and to practice with enthusiasm and pleasure. (There have been other times: learning by stress and drill)

Her bow control is awesome. Good work!

gianna is worderful and you are great, aimee.

Amazing...!!! Wow!!!👏

very nice!

So impressive!

This is really nice! I like the Art Farmer version of Recorda Me. I can almost hear Nash playing his drums in the background!

Hi Aimee! I'm new here but this has already been a life-changing discovery for me. I have seen quite a few of your videos already and they are all SO gut. I have totally returned to the piano, even though I had practically given up. This is so motivating, that you are almost overcoming my many limitations. I believe that I'll soon be able to do your New Orleans licks. But watching you playing, improvising, jamming and teaching is simply heart-warming and incredibly motivating. I was taught classically but didn't get anywhere (much as I like listening to it). What you are showing us is a different dimension that (I'm let to believe) I might eventually learn to inhabit. On the fringes, at least. Mustn't get ahead of ourselves. I'm writing this having just watched you and Gianna Pedregon. I loved it! Seeing you communicating with other through music is a wonderful thing to behold. There is so much of that radiating out of your videos. Whether you are on a skateboard, talking about music, telling us about how you came to music (you are a spell-binding narrator!) or presenting 'your very useful' daughter Ella's scales game. " Keep practicing", she said "and you might become as good as my mum". I subscribed immediately.

OMG! I'm certain that Jean Luc Ponty would love to hear this!

不错。14岁能这样子演奏，幸福

wauw, amazing playing. You don't see jazz violin that much, do you? The phrasing and her pitch were just right on point. Which I know is something that is difficult on violin, being such a small fretless instrument.

ok thats a 5 string violin, shes incredible!

Beautiful. And amazing Jazz intuition for such a young artist. One thing I could suggest, if she's looking for ways to make a great improv even better, and this is definitely something they don't teach classical violinists, is to - every once in a while - dig a little more with the bow, especially at the start of a slide, to get a kind of crunchy sound, which you hear with good swing fiddlers.

Wowowow

I agree, she is good.

A former high school mate of mine is a famous jazz musician. He was considered a super-talented wonder child when he was 14, at 17 he got Berklee scholarship and won all the prestigious awards there. Much later I asked him how much did he practice in those days. His answer shocked me: 10 hours on a school day, 17 hours on weekends. Btw, he had straight As in school. Moral of the story is evident, isn't it.

Talent is a nice way of saying obsession!

Amazing kid. She has a nice 'bite', especially on the higher strings. If there's one thing I might suggest, on improv she might dig just a bit more with the bow on the lower strings. Sounds like she was kind of skating over the top of them. Might be due to nerves, as you mentioned. Don't be afraid to slow it down as necessary. I noticed on the dim scale that this was not an issue at all. Maybe 'cause she'd been practicing that? I'm excited for her.

Você toca como Jean Luc PontY, ele é um fenômeno! Você também!!!

Piano Man from her youtube videos age of 4.

I hope she keeps playing as an adult and develops a career and records an album so I can buy it

Great player, it's critical to encourage the next generation. If you like this check out Grant Flick who plays in the Grapelli tradition. He self taught in a very short time using a cast off violin his Dad rescued from a dumpster. Of course the most recent impressive youngster may just be Joey Alexander (but of course here is a pianist). Anyone who has yet to hear Joey should treat their ears to that experience. Keep on all of ye!

What song is this??

What kind of people are the 21 who voted this down? I am shocked! She must have been learning to play for a few years, be so good. But some people are just naturals

Are you teaching her piano or theory? just curious :o Anyway, such an amazing talent!

Let me go pick my jaw up off the floor! Awesome.

Wow, sogreat: Ihave a request: Minuano by Pat Metheny,would sound lovely, she might know it too

Precious! Whats that black device next to the violin neck. Is that a tuner?
