We have been performing music from the new cd “Bossa Nova Stories” and having a great time…
EMI Japan recently released an all instrumental live trio recording (with Marc Johnson and Joey Baron) It is the first time I release a live cd ….. The cd is called “Eliane Elias Plays Live” …. recorded live in Amsterdam.
“Bossa Nova Stories” was released in the USA on January 13th !
I am also excited for my daughter, Amanda Brecker whose second cd, “Brazilian Passion”, was released on BIRDS Records in the summer of 2009. It features some great originals and covers… and great singing and grooves. Brazilian Passion received the “Gold Disc Award” by Swing Journal, June 2009.
