About Eliane Elias
The classical tradition meets the spontaneity of jazz and Brazilian MPB in the virtuosic playing of pianist/vocalist Eliane Elias. As a pianist, Elias showcased her warmth and sophistication on her 1987 debut, Illusions, playing with Stanley Clarke, Eddie Gomez, and Lenny White. In 1993, she became one of the first artists to release jazz and classical albums simultaneously with Paulistana and On the Classical Side. She also paired with pianist Herbie Hancock for 1995's Solo & Duets. Accolades followed, including a Grammy Award for 2015's Made in Brasil and a Latin Grammy for 2017's Dance of Time. Elias has continued to balance her lyrical, romantic vocals with her adept piano work, winning a Grammy for her 2021 duets album Mirror Mirror, featuring Chick Corea and Chucho Valdes, and blending bossa nova and contemporary jazz on albums like 2022's Quietude and 2024's Time and Again.
Eliane Elias has also released music as a member of Steps Ahead.
