Background

Eliane Elias is considered one of the great interpreters of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s music, so she has recorded two albums solely dedicated to the works of the composer: Eliane Elias Plays Jobim and Eliane Elias Sings Jobim.[5] The Elias' group of musicians for this record includes Jack DeJohnette on drums, Eddie Gomez on bass, and Nana Vasconcelos on percussion.[6] While most of her records had previously been instrumental, Elias introduced her vocal parts on this album and has employed vocals ever since.[7]

Reception

Alvaro Neder of AllMusic stated, "This is not an album for those die-hard bossa fans. These popular Jobim tunes all were revisited by Elias with the goal of bridging the gap between Brazilian music and jazz; that goal was achieved. She affirms herself in this complex idiom, resulting in an album that can be enjoyed by any jazz connoisseur."[1]
