Eliane Elias’s release Mirror Mirror just won a Latin GRAMMY for Best Latin Jazz/Jazz Album. It had already won a GRAMMY for Best Latin Jazz Album earlier this year. The follow-up bossa nova album Quietude was just released in October to critical acclaim.
“It was Astrud Gilberto’s single of “The Girl From Ipanema,” released in 1964, that transformed the bossa nova into a global sensation. Now Eliane Elias continues the tradition with the release of Quietude which rivals the collaborative beauty and poetic minimalism of the iconic 1964 LP “ Getz/Gilberto raves from the The Wall Street Journal and WBGO radio proclaims “Like a tasty bowl of feijoada (Brazil’s national stew dish), the comfort food that is Quietude will transport you to the beautiful calm that is Bahia.”
