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.

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 :)

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.

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!

Damn, her technique is impeccable. Great lines too!

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

Wow!!! Jazz violinist with soul. Amazing!

Nd i am just sitting here with my double bass watching other people rise to the top instead of practicing my self to be on the same level......

And beautiful collaboration as well. She really responds to you.

This little lady is a beautiful, shiny, delightful gem of a musician! Gianna The Gem!

cant stop watching this. almost made me cry. brought tears to my eyes. sooo beautiful. thanks again aimee and gianna.

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.

*FANTASTIC!* I'm sure we'll be hearing about this young lady for many decades to come.

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

Wooooow! God bless Gianna! what an amazing gift, talent, artist! Im a violinist for 29 years. I can say, if Gianna stays at what she loves most it will give her wings to soar in this life!

if joe were still alive i can imagine them playing together. thank you aimee for introducing and nurturing such talent. you have such a big heart... and thank you gianna!!

Wow, she has a great work ethic! I look forward to hearing more from her. :)

I like her. She should start to make youtube videos of her playing the jazz repertoire or any other she likes.

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.

this is the beauty of this world thx

Very nice...after the first moment when the music gelled, it was just excellent!

AmAiNG!

Incredible, she's a natural. Just wow. Thanks for sharing her:)

Lovely! This girl has an immense talent and passion for the music! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that slaped me in face with beautiful sound that was, send her my compliments

It's september 2021 and i cant believe this was done in 2017! I thought i would listen to this again and it still sounds great. A real gem!..a classic for piano and violin. Thanks again Aimee and Gianna!❤❤

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

Very nice. Really wanna see her playing in 10 years... omg.

She is awesome. Bravo!!

Outstanding, what a feel she has.

Beautiful! There is so much new talent from young people today and it's wonderful. I'd hire her.

Fantastic.

massively talented! and lovely young woman. 14 years old? you're killin' it.

Amazing...!!! Wow!!!👏

So impressive!

OUTSTANDING

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

OMG! She did it all from memory!

I recently went to a Jazz Camp in Hilton Head island in South Carolina and I saw her live at the Sea Pines Country Club. She's 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.

Love!!!

wonderful ... and just 14 ....... can you imagine when she's 20 .... keep practicing Gianna and never stop making music ....

Woweee!!

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.

Great Gianna ... Keep Up that nice job. 😉

Brillant!

BRAVO !!!!!

can you send her my compliments :) great jazz from the violin i have ever heard

gianna is worderful and you are great, aimee.

Her bow control is awesome. Good work!

Thanks for taking the time and posting this. Your thoughtfulness will inspire many. Love your videos and content. I subscribed a few weeks ago. So glad I did.

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)

WOW! Very talented violinist. BTW, I never realized what beautiful eyes you have....so close up to the camera in this video. Thanks again for the great videos and keep up the fantastic work! :)

natural talent. beautiful

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

Well done, Gianna! Also, hat's off to the accompanist =)

ok thats a 5 string violin, shes incredible!

GIANNA, YOU,RE GREAT GREAT

Gianna can PLAY!! 👌🏻👌🏻

Wowowow

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.

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.

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.

+Aimee Nolte Music Fantastic! Please get her to come to the Creative Strings Workshop in Ohio next summer which is where many of the top jazz violinists go to teach. She will be surrounded by and inspired by many like-minded people!

Wow! Jason Anick, watch out!

Incredible student you have there! I can't wait to see what this young talent matures into. How long has she been playing?

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

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

I agree, she is good.

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

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

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??

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

what type of violin you use 1/4 , 2/4 , 3/4 or 4/4 ?

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