"Quietude will transport you to the beautiful calm that is Bahia."

"With 2022's Quietude, Eliane Elias crafts a sumptuously intimate showcase for her Portuguese vocals and bossa nova jazz balladry."
-- All Music
Musically traveling from the masters of jazz piano to the shimmering rhythms of Brazil, pianist, singer, and composer Eliane Elias and an all-star quartet perform sumptuous versions of songs from Elias' two most recent Candid albums, 2021's piano-centric GRAMMY-winner Mirror Mirror and 2022's session devoted to sun-splashed Brazilian classics, Quietude.
Made up largely of jazz standards along with a pair of timeless pieces by late collaborator Chick Corea, Mirror Mirror was Elias' first piano-only album in over 25 years and a summit meeting of piano giants featuring duos with Cuban icon Chucho Valdés and Corea, making one of his final recorded appearances before his untimely passing in February 2021. With an undeniable instrumental chemistry that DownBeat called "an artistic marvel," Mirror Mirror won the 2022 GRAMMY for Best Latin Jazz Album.
~~~~~~~~
With multiple Grammy awards for her pianistic mastery and golden voice -- including a 2022 award for her newest release, Mirror Mirror -- Brazilian jazz virtuoso Eliane Elias is in a category all her own. Her two hugely successful recent releases, Love Stories (Concord Jazz), and Mirror Mirror (Candid Records), shows her highly personal and intimate realization of love songs made famous by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Frank Sinatra, as well as her own originals (Love Stories), and her astonishing jazz mastery in duets with the late Chick Corea and Cuban superstar Chucho Valdez (Mirror Mirror). With her longtime partner Marc Johnson on bass, and in the company of her favorite rhythm section players, Eliane invites you to share in her vision of love and music.
