“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.”

“While her discography dates back more than 40 years, Eliane Elias is best experienced live in front of an audience. And that’s just how you’ll find her on her latest recording, Ao Vivo, leading her quartet at the SFJAZZ Center’s Miner Auditorium in October 2023. As the title promises, the trio evokes the exuberance of falling madly, impulsively in love…”

“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.”
