Multi-Grammy winning Brazilian pianist and vocalist Eliane Elias honors the 100th birthday of the legendary Brazilian composer, “father of bossa nova,” Antônio Carlos Jobim. A canon of his works is essential for any jazz library. With sophisticated harmonies and iconic lilting melodies, songs like “The Girl from Ipanema” and “Desafinado” define a sound, a historic period and a sensual approach to the music. Joined by acclaimed bassist Marc Johnson, Brazilian drummer and percussionist Rafael Barata, and Brazilian guitarist Leandro Pellegrino, Eliane will also feature songs from her new album in a concert filled with the internationally beloved sounds of bossa nova.
