Music Review: o gracioso
Rating: 5 Stars
The most sensitive jazz pianist since Bill Evans?
There are many superb jazz pianists out there - I could go on for a long, long time listing them. But what is that quality that makes a jazz pianist great - one whose playing becomes for many representative of a era - like Bill Evans (70's) - Oscar Peterson/McCoy Tyner (60's) - Oscar Peterson/Red Garland (50's) - Ellington (40's/50's) - Count Basie (30's/40's) - and Eliane Elias (90's/now)? Don't ask me - I don't know. Maybe the above listing is too brief - too random. But I ask you: is there not an Eliane Elias cd - you find totally, deeply addictive (as one reviewer put it) - on a very personal level - the way certain recordings by the others I've listed above got you?
This thorough compilation is a collection of masterpieces from her incredibly hot breakthrough years of the mid to late 90's - as good bossa nova piano as you will ever hear chances are - played with elan by the great Eliane.

Description of Best Of Vol. 1 Originals, The
Best Of Vol. 1 Originals, The by Eliane EliasThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
The beautiful pianist Eliane Elias, who stole the show on the documentary and soundtrack Calle 54, arrived in this country from Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the early '80s, performed with the group Steps Ahead and recorded for the Blue Note label. This CD is comprised of selected tracks from her recordings A Long Story, Fantasia, The Three Americas, Everything I Love, So Far, So Close, and Paulistana, all of which display her tasteful and eclectic musicality. Her compositions range from the elegantly funky "Just Kidding" and the classically refined "Fantasia (to Amanda)" to the Caribbean/South American numbers "Caipora," "The Time Is Now," and "Paulistana." Her debts to Herbie Hancock and Bud Powell are evident on her straight-ahead jazz ballad "That's All It Was" and her boppish "Bowing to Bud." Recording with bassist Christian McBride, drummer Jack DeJohnette, and the brother duo of saxophonist and trumpeter Michael and Randy Brecker, Eliane Elias has produced a body of work that excels on the bandstand and on the radio. --Eugene Holley Jr.
