Eliane Elias: Tiny Desk Concert

Eliane Elias and her team arrived the day before this Tiny Desk to check out the space and audition the piano. We all worked to make sure that every detail, including the sound and cameras, were just right. And it turned out great. The meticulousness and care that went into this concert is evident in the brilliance of the performance.

Elias and her band brought a little bit of Brazil with this commanding performance of the best of the Brazilian jazz genre. Watch how the piano keys sit comfortably under Elias' hands, and how the dynamic syncopation in her percussive left hand complements the beautiful melodic lines of her right, both blending perfectly with the musicianship of her talented band. This superb combination of Afro-Latin rhythms, like samba and bossa nova, with straight-ahead styles make for really infectious music.

Eliane Elias was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and grew up in a musical household. By the time she was 10 she was already a huge jazz fan. Today, she has her own fandom and a 31-album catalog that includes her latest release, Quietude, and Mirror Mirror, a project with Chick Corea and Chucho Valdés that won both a Grammy award and a Latin Grammy for best Latin jazz album earlier this year.

Eliane Elias feat. Chick Corea - Armando's Rhumba (Official Video)

Eliane Elias and Chick Corea perform "Armando's Rhumba" from Eliane's upcoming album MIRROR MIRROR, available September 10th, 2021 on Candid Records.

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 recognizable sounds in jazz. With over 2.2 million albums sold to date, Elias blends her Brazilian roots with her virtuosic jazz and classical piano skills. Having always counted Chick Corea as one of her chief influences, it was a dream come true to work with him as a duet partner. You can discern the duo’s chemistry on the elegant track “Armando’s Rhumba.” Written by Corea, and originally released on his 1976 Spanish Heart album, the composition is widely considered a jazz standard.
