Brazilian jazz pianist, singer and composer from São Paulo who blends bossa nova and New York jazz. Began performing Brazilian repertoire as a teenager, accompanied Vinicius de Moraes and Toquinho, and later worked in New York with prominent jazz musicians; associated with Steps Ahead.

Performs piano and vocals; bilingual repertoire (Portuguese and English); collaborations include members of the Brecker family, Mike Mainieri, Marc Johnson and others (as noted in reviews and public sources).

The review highlights Eliane Elias's synthesis of Brazilian tradition and New York jazz. Dreamer focuses on different types of love across Portuguese songs and standards. The record features top-tier collaborators and sophisticated arrangements. The reviewer singles out “Doralice” as a favourite.

For:Listeners of jazz and bossa nova; piano and vocal music fans; those interested in Brazilian-American musical crossovers.

 In Eliane Elias’s life, there is a synthesis between two recurring places that correspond to two lifestyles and two very different ways of thinking: Brazil with its tradition and its saudade and the United States, which represents the more unconventional and “rebellious” aspect of this talented pianist and singer.
