Elias’ strengths as a jazz artist, combined with her roots in São Paulo, make her one of the most impressive interpreters of jazz-linked bossa novas, sambas, and choros.
—Los Angeles Times
Eliane Elias is of a generation of aggressive pianists who attack music like a lioness attacking its prey, at the same time expressing a tenderness within the core of her passion that at times has brought me to tears.
—Herbie Hancock
Elaine Elias wears the crown as the reigning queen of the bossa nova. Over the course of a distinguished career spanning nearly 30 albums, the Grammy-winning pianist, singer, and composer’s distinctive musical style has emerged as one of the most unique and immediately recognizable sounds in jazz. Elias blends her Brazilian roots and alluring voice with her virtuosic instrumental jazz, classical, and compositional skills, consistently displaying her pianistic mastery and ability to integrate the many artistic roles she takes on. Her most recent album, Time and Time Again, was released in June 2024.
On this vibrant bossa nova journey, Elias’s sings in her native Brazilian Portuguese and is accompanied by her all-star quartet.
