Eliane Elias - Bossa Nova Stories (2008)



This Brazilian-born, New York-based singer-pianist has spent much of the last two decades
minimizing the distance between the jazz and pop of her homeland with that of her adopted
country. (Her gorgeous reading of Burt Bacharach's "A House Is Not a Home" from 2004's
"Dreamer" is proof that a tricky melody is only improved by a tricky rhythm.)

A sort of reverse-image companion to 2007's "Something for You: Eliane Elias Sings &
Plays Bill Evans," "Bossa Nova Stories" seems to approach that stylistic equation from
a more distinct angle than is typical for Elias: The new set opens with "The Girl From
Ipanema," as clear a suggestion as any that we're in for an exercise in roots music.
