Eliane Elias is a Brazilian jazz pianist, arranger, vocalist and songwriter. Elias lives and works in New York City where she settled in 1981. Her music is readily recognizable by her use of jazz harmonies, her rich blending of rhythmic styles, and, occasionally, her voice.

Her intimate, direct style of singing contrasts charmingly with her muscular piano solo work, which itself contrasts nicely to her gently driving comp stylings under her vocals.

The change in tone of 3:23 to 3:24 is so sexy...!

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.

Eliane Elias is the real deal.

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.
