Eliane Elias Plays Jobim is the fifth studio album by Brazilian jazz artist Eliane Elias.[4][5][6] It was released in 1990 via Blue Note label.[7]

Background

Eliane Elias is considered one of the great interpreters of Antonio Carlos Jobim's music.ref? She has recorded two albums solely dedicated to the works of the composer: Eliane Elias Plays Jobim and Eliane Elias Sings Jobim.[8] The musicians that joined her for this record were Eddie Gomez on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums, and Nana Vasconcelos on percussion.[9] While most of her records had previously been instrumental, Elias introduced her voice on this album and has employed vocals ever since.[10]

Reception

Alvaro Neder of AllMusic stated, "This is not an album for those die-hard bossa fans. These popular Jobim tunes all were revisited by Elias with the goal of bridging the gap between Brazilian music and jazz; that goal was achieved. She affirms herself in this complex idiom, resulting in an album that can be enjoyed by any jazz connoisseur."[1]
