““It was Astrud Gilberto’s single of ‘The Girl From Ipanema,’ released in 1964, that transformed the bossa nova into a global sensation. Now Eliane Elias continues the tradition with the release of ‘Quietude’ which rivals the collaborative beauty and poetic minimalism of the iconic 1964 LP.””

““As its title suggests, this exquisite album serves as a showcase for Elias’ characteristically understated vocal approach””

““Like a tasty bowl of feijoada (Brazil’s national stew dish), the “comfort food” that is Quietude will transport you to the beautiful calm that is Bahia.””

““From start to finish, Eliane Elias has produced another masterfully crafted album with Quietude that will have you hitting the reset button over and over again””

““With 2022’s Quietude, Eliane Elias crafts a sumptuously intimate showcase for her Portuguese vocals and bossa nova jazz balladry.””

““Eliane Elias creates her own remarkable sense of tranquilidade, evoking the spirit of reinvention that Getz and Byrd introduced to us sixty years ago.””

““Eliane Elias has become not only one of the most adroit pianists in jazz, but with albums like this new one, has now entered the top tier of Brazilian vocalists.””
