Jazz Takes a Brazilian Twist 
Steps of Bacchus Temple 

Eliane Elias is a brilliant jazz pianist, arranger, vocalist and songwriter. As the protégée of Vinicius de Moraes and Antonio Carlos Jobim, fathers of bossa nova, the famous Brazilian pianist went on to collaborate with musicians like Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette and Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. A talented composer, she released Something for You in 2008, a tribute record to the famous pianist Bill Evans. Her latest album, Light My Fire, which reached the top of the jazz charts all over Europe, is further proof of her talent for interpretation. 
She takes pleasure in returning to the stage with songs by great pop artists such as Stevie Wonder's My Cherie Love, Bob Marley's Jammin, the Doors and Beck. Accompanied by the best musicians in the jazz scene, Eliane Elias promises a sexy, romantic and passionate musical journey, as only Brazilian jazz knows how to be.
