Over the course of a distinguished career spanning nearly 30 albums, multi-GRAMMY-winning pianist/singer/composer Eliane Elias' distinctive musical style has emerged as one of the most unique and immediately recognisable sounds in jazz. With over 2.2 million albums sold to date, Elias blends her Brazilian roots and alluring voice with her virtuosic instrumental jazz, classical and compositional skills, while she consistently displays her pianistic mastery and ability to integrate the many artistic roles she takes on. These duets, which form the album, are with two legendary pianists who have strongly influenced her work; The late, great Chick Corea, and Cuban pianist and composer Chuco Valdes. The album is an instrumental blend of Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, inside the deep-rooted Latin Jazz tradition of Elias' music.[info sheet from distr.]
