The Brazilian singer-pianist continues to astonish with a new live album. Hands down, one of the finest and strongest jazz pianists touring and recording today is Eliane Elias. In addition to being a spectacularly gifted player, she has enormous charm, is admirably sensitive and has a lovely singing voice. The added bonus is she’s Brazilian, so warmth and charisma come second nature when performing.
