Diana Krall acknowledges Eliane Elias' artistry and talent (and friendship) in the 'Live in Rio' concert - and also says that Jobim is as important as Cole Porter, which is a big call (and a very respectful one) from someone brought up in the North American jazz tradition. I like Krall and Elias - both wonderful artists who have done a lot to broaden this marvellous music's appeal.
I have always loved Elaine Elias. She would be a MUCH bigger hit in America if she spoke fluent English and her record company knew what the hell they have in her! She is married to Michael Brecker's brother - trumpeter Randy Brecker. Her two albums on Jobim reharmonize those songs brilliantly. Simply brilliantly. And her piano playing trounces Krall, for instance. Check it out.
This woman is pleasant to look on, she sings beautifully, and she plays jazz on piano. Perfection.
