Biography

Pianist / singer / songwriter, Eliane Elias is known for her distinctive and immediately recognizable musical style which blends her Brazilian roots, her sensuous, alluring voice with her impressive instrumental jazz, classical and compositional skills. Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Eliane Elias’ musical talents began to show at an early age. She started studying piano at age seven and at age twelve was transcribing solos from the great jazz masters.

Review

Marc Johnson played bass in the Bill Evans Trio for two years before Evans died in 1980. Evans gave Johnson a cassette of tunes he had roughed out but left unfinished. When Marc rediscovered this tape and played it to his wife, singing pianist Eliane Elias, she was inspired to record this CD - subtitled "Eliane Elias Sings and Plays Bill Evans". She is a good person to pay such homage, since her piano style is - like Bill's - subtle and thoughtful. In fact the predominant mood of this album is gentle and contemplative, although Eliane adds vocals to quite a few of the tunes.


Imprinted on my mind is an image of Bill Evans from the only time I saw him, giving a concert in London. His head was bowed so low over the keyboard that it almost touched the keys. Here, indeed, was an introvert, a pianist who seldom went in for showy musical pyrotechnics. Eliane respects this inward-looking aspect of Evans, although her Brazilian roots ensure that flashes of fire emerge in the music. For instance, the opening You and the Night and the Music combines Evans's clarity and lightness of touch with an infectious swing.


Eliane's vocals are also notable for their clarity, and they add a new dimension to the numbers associated with Evans. Her version of Waltz for Debby starts with a tender vocal but then breaks into a bluesy four-in-a-bar piano solo. In fact she is a more considerable vocalist than many who nowadays pass for jazz singers. Yet it is her piano playing that continually catches the ear, with a harmonic richness similar to that of Bill Evans and a pleasing delicacy of touch. Savour how she blends But Beautiful with Here's That Rainy Day - one tune merging seamlessly into another.


Eliane Elias composed one track herself - the touching After All - and added her own lyrics to a couple of the rediscovered Evans tunes: Here Is Something For You and Evanesque. The album ends with Evans's own sketch for the former, poorly recorded but with generously cascading notes and Bill laughing with pleasure at his invention, which Elias transforms into the brilliant second track. On every other track the recorded sound is attractively clear, although it tends to relegate drummer Joey Baron to the background, leaving Mr and Mrs Johnson to take most of the limelight. But Joey gets occasional moments of glory, like the four-bar breaks in Five.


Eliane deliberately chose to perform a lot of songs on the album, with shortish solos, "and do them in a way that I can deliver my message without having to play five choruses". It gives the listener a remarkably rich, concentrated experience, without a note wasted. This album is not only a deserved tribute to Bill Evans but shining proof of Eliane's established stature as a significant pianist and singer.




Eliane Elias is a great pianist and a very good singer, an able interpreter of the music of her native Brazil, and an overall ambassador for jazz music. She has long had connections with piano great Bill Evans. It was Eddie Gomez, best known for his work with Evans’ trio, who recommended that Elias move to New York in 1981 after hearing her play in Paris. Her husband, Marc Johnson, who has played bass with her on many recordings, was Evans’ bassist from 1978 until the pianist’s death in 1980. Elias’ piano playing has long shown Evans’ influence, being lyrical and harmonically plush, even on her Brazilian projects. Over the past five years or so, Elias produced a series of albums that seemed designed to expose her to a larger audience. While these albums, recorded for RCA, were still of high musical quality, they tended to put her singing out front, dispense with some of her piano solos, and utilized modern production to achieve more of a pop music sheen.

Now Elias has returned to Blue Note, the label for which she recorded from the late 1980s until 2002 for a Bill Evans tribute album of sorts. Something For You features Elias in a simple trio setting, with Johnson on bass and Joey Baron on drums, performing songs associated with or composed by Evans as well as some original touches. The result is an album that pays tribute to Evans without sounding imitative and which manages to add another chapter to Elias’ career and growth as an artist.

It’s easy to focus on the more lyrical performances, such as “You and the Night and the Music” or the title track, as evidence of Elias’ empathy with Evans, but there’s more to it than that. Elias swings easily and effortlessly, the way Evans did, as heard on her performance of “A Sleepin’ Bee” where her piano work can’t help but make the listener smile. On “But Not For Me” her piano solo is absolutely perfect. Listening to Elias here, one can’t help but imagine that her last several records were designed to make her the kind of household name that Diana Krall has become, but her unassuming ability to swing puts her in a league of her own.

Of course, Elias can turn up the romance quotient as well when called upon to do so. Some might wonder at the presence of as much vocal work as there is on Something For You, but Eliane’s vocal work is every bit as evocative of Evans’ romanticism as her piano playing. Leading off the Evans classic “Waltz for Debby” with a slow delivery of the Gene Lees lyrics, one cannot but marvelat the beauty of Evans’ melody. Then she takes the piece into a straight, uptempo 4/4 for her piano solo, bringing it back to a jazz waltz for the final chorus.

Johnson and Baron are supportive and highly collaborative throughout, doing much more than merely keeping time. As with Evans, both are full-fledged members of a trio where any member can shade the music in a different way at any time. Elias plays piano throughout with a nearly palpable sense of joy, demonstrating that she is one of jazz music’s highly underrated pianists at this time. Many of her projects have had a Brazilian or Latin flavor, which makes sense, but it’s great to hear her playing straight ahead as she does here. This is definitely Elias’ best piano work on record since her performance on Johnson’s 2005 ECM recording Shades of Jade.

Something For You is a very personal and intimate approach to the Bill Evans book. Familiar pieces like “Blue In Green” are given vastly different readings than those that listeners are most familiar with, and the overall effect is one of great affection for Evans rather than imitation of him. The album’s title track is an unfinished piece that Evans had played on a cassette and given to Marc Johnson when he was in Evans’ trio. Elias wrote lyrics to it and presents them here. The disc ends with part of the tape of Evans playing the piece, a fitting conclusion to a recording that treats his music as a living entity rather than putting it under glass in a museum. It’s a triumph for fans of Eliane Elias, and should prove satisfying for Evans fans as well as anyone who loves modern jazz and jazz piano trios.
