Summary: Extremely musical; excellent recording quality
Comment: FWIW, I have jazz degrees from a couple of the best music schools in the US (that & $5 will get you a Cappucino at Starbucks). IMO, Eliane Elias can play, she "digs in", her time is great, & she can sing.
Eliane Elias may be my new jazz piano hero/heroine. At least amongst younger players. It's not that her playing is the best jazz piano playing in history; it's that she "grooves": maybe one of the funkiest, most time-keeping pianists ever. Maybe out of Horace Silver? Or Joe Sample?
And the audio quality on this "Red Book CD" is truly excellent. It sounds gorgeous on my "high end" audio system.
She's not going to put Fred Hersch, or Bud Powell, or K.J. out of business of course (but they're not singers/players, & I haven't even't emphasized her excellent singing yet--maybe it'd be more apt to compare her to Nat Cole on his Trio recordings, but then Nat was "incomparable"). It's that for me, the "musicality" of her playing & singing really grabs me.....whether you're a jazz purist, or someone who wants to explore jazz, you should check this out.....

Summary: Fun and Joy Filled Album
Comment: Elias shows off her great Latin Jazz piano sounds, with some fun and joy filled tracks on this album. If you haven't listened to Elias before, this is the album to get. You won't be disappointed if you are a fan of the latin jazz sounds, and you don't have to be a purist to enjoy it. I find her piano innovations and emotions to be more creative than Krall on this album. The trio works together cohesively, and Elias blends the piano sounds to highlight the bass and percussion. You'll want to get up and dance to this one !!

Summary: Almost Unbearable
Comment: This CD made me realize I am a Brazilian music purist. Could not bear the new age additions of running water and singing children; no doubt a talented pianist, but these tunes are lousy with studio pyrotecnics. I am donating this to my grandmother's senior home after listening just once.

Summary: Brazil's answer to Diana Krall
Comment: This is the 1st cd of hers I've heard.It reminds me alot of Krall's early(jazzier) work.Most of the songs are instrumentals,only about a third of them are sung,but the piano(she's the pianist-like Krall) is great,very inventive.

Summary: Excellent tribute!
Comment: Elaine Elias is an excellent jazz keyboardist . She is engaged with the real spirit of the saudade ( a clever term employed in Brazil to design something more than a farewell , you may consider it nostalgia but it goes far beyond this meaning) .
Anyway his magic fingers and velvet voice carries you to Rio de Janeiro and evoke the smooth mood and the seductive rhythm in every track .
Elias made a sincere tribute not only to Brazil but all his talented composers Vinicio de Moraes , Milton Nascimento, Jobim these pioneers of the bossa nova and glorious and timeless themes such Garota de Ipanema , Agua de beber, Chega de saudade , Dindi , March waters ,Brazil, Black Orpheus or one note samba are some of the most emblematic titles of that febrile land so filled of charm and mystery .
