Multi GRAMMY® Award winning internationally acclaimed pianist/singer/composer Eliane Elias’ distinctive musical style is one of the most unique and immediately recognizable sounds in jazz. She blends her Brazilian roots and alluring voice with her virtuosic instrumental jazz, classical and compositional skills, while consistently displaying pianistic mastery and ability to integrate her many artistic roles. In this special release album show, Eliane and her quartet will perform her Brazilian hits and favorites and introduce exciting new material from her latest album MIRROR MIRROR. MIRROR MIRROR is an extraordinary piano duet recording of Eliane with the late legendary jazz great Chick Corea, and famed Cuban pianist Chucho Valdés. While her highly successful recordings have predominantly featured her alluring voice and piano mastery, the piano has always been her first love and working with these two incredible icons was a rare opportunity to record in a two-piano setting. Eliane has toured 71 countries, sold over 2.3 million albums and has over 565,000 monthly streams and over 22 million for her song “Little Paradise” on Spotify. Her numerous additional achievements include: three-time Best Vocal Album winner in Japan and winner of the 2018 Edison Lifetime Achievement Award in Holland. “The Brazilian pianist and singer Eliane Elias commands the keyboard with a forceful two-handed muscularity that belies her image as a blond older sister of the mythical Girl from Ipanema.” – The New York Times “Her vibrancy is a force unto itself. With powerful artistry, her naturally prodigious talent is even stronger as the years pass—a feat capable only by the true elites of the musical world.” – DownBeat

PETE MALINVERNI / JULIET KURTZMAN CANDLELIGHT QUARTET play music from their acclaimed new recording, “Candlelight - Love in the Time of Cholera”, inspired by the great novel of that name by Gabriel Garcia-Marquez. Spotlighting music of the Americas, from Tangos to Ragtime to Jazz, this program calls to mind an earlier age, when Romance was to be sought, and Love was known to conquer all. Stereophile said their newest recording …“is more a juxtaposition than a blend. Kurtzman portrays melodies in a violin sound of surpassing purity. Malinverni creates spontaneous embellishments and rhythmic sparks and displacements that could only come from a jazz musician. He takes infrequent, vivid solos. On “Oblivion”, he follows Kurtzman’s haunting portrayal of Astor Piazzolla’s theme with an improvised new corollary of that theme, also haunting". Downbeat said the recording …“showcases exquisite melodic lines from both instrumentalists, as well as brilliant bouts of dialog. Malinverni, who cites Piazzolla as a key influence, has teamed with Kurtzman to craft an album that has a degree of the irresistible, heart-piercing emotive quality of his hero’s finest works".
