Eliane Elias

2018 Latin GRAMMY Award Winner, Best Latin Jazz Album/Jazz Album for “Dance of Time.”

Since moving to the United States in 1981, Eliane Elias has been known for her distinctive and immediately recognizable musical style which blends her Brazilian roots and sensuous voice with her virtuosic instrumental jazz, classical, and compositional skills. Two years after seducing fans with her GRAMMY®-winning “Made in Brazil” (Best Latin Jazz Album), Elias returns with, “Dance of Time,” on Concord Jazz. Also recorded in Brazil, Dance of Time’s themes are multifold. With the presence of extraordinary guests, the recording celebrates certain people integral to Elias’ artistic journey as well as celebrating the samba, a genre originating from Bahia, via Africa, which recently marked its 100th anniversary.
