Music reviews of Something for You: Eliane Elias Sings & Plays Bill Evans
Music Review: "Here's Something For You"
Rating: 5 Stars
"This is a real heartfelt, super special project for us....We're happy and we're looking forward to bringing the music to the people. It seems like everybody who hears this...people can feel some of the emotion, the sincerity that we felt when we did this tribute. It was really heartfelt....The whole thing is like a baby, a very special baby." ~ Eliane Elias ~
I'm always impressed with a musician's versatility when it comes to piano playing so naturally Eliane Elias is one of the names who figured prominently in my book of jazz. She's not only a jazz pianist, she is also a classical pianist on top of being a singer and composer as well. This Blue Note album, "Eliane Elias Sings & Plays Bill Evans," is a perfect example of that kind of versatility. It is not only a presentation of the material that Bill Evans was famous for, but it is also a loving tribute to one of her earliest musical influences. Together with her husband and musical partner, bassist Marc Johnson, and drummer Joey Baron, they have recorded one of the best tributes to the amazing piano artistry of Bill Evans, who was one of the greatest pianists in the history of jazz. The interplay among the trio is outstanding.
Two of the emotional highlights that will surely touch the musical sensibility of a listener come with this tribute album. Firstly, the fact that Marc Johnson's bass on one of the best tracks, "My Foolish Heart," was once owned by one of Bill Evans' best bass players, Scott LaFaro. Secondly, the revelation of a cassette tape given by Bill Evans to Marc Johnson containing two original compositions that were never recorded because of his untimely death. Eliane Elias provided the lyrics to Bill Evans' melody and titled it "Here's Something For You." It is a fitting title to salute and pay tribute to a jazz piano icon.
Surprisingly, some of the tracks that stood out are also the tunes that I liked best from Bill Evans albums: "But Beautiful: Bill Evans Trio Featuring Stan Getz," "Tony Bennett and Bill Evans Album," and "Alone." Eliane Elias lovingly and skillfully reinvented the songs with fresh arrangements in her very own elegant tonal quality, well-harmonized style and emotive transcription.
I enjoyed listening to this album in its entirety most especially Bill Evans' most beautiful body of work, "Waltz For Debby," as well as the bubbling, filled with jazzy notes, "You And The Night And The Music," the heartwarming, ear-candy "My Foolish Heart" and of course, the centerpiece from this set, "Here's Something For You." It is, indeed, a "heartfelt and super special project." I hope you'll enjoy it, too.
