| | Eliane Elias - The Official Web Site |
 | | Elias is appearing through Saturday, the most memorable moments were those in which she and her three musicians (Marc Johnson on bass, Rubens de la Corte on guitar and Paulo Braga on drums) cracked through the formal strictures of pop samba. |
 | | Eliane Elias is the real thing, a very good pianist and a singer whose style is the result of a great deal of artistic subtlety, and a musician who here resides in her perfect home, bringing the most sinuous of rhythmic touches to such shiny songs as Call Me and Baubles, Bangles and Beads. |
 | | Elias’ low, breathy, intimate, nearly vibrato-less instrument both shapes and fits the mood perfectly, while Rob Mathes’ lush orchestral arrangements create a lacy fabric that is tasteful and non-intrusive.The CD is nicely paced; “Baubles, Bangles and Beads,” ‘”Tangerine,” and “Doralice” are the lighter, more up-tempo selections that keep things moving. |
