Customer Rating:      Summary: Bossa Nova Experience Comment: There are stories that only become better with time. Depending on who tells them, of course.
Eliane Elias is not only a talented pianist, but also a wonderful singer, reminescent of Astrud Gilberto, but in her own right.
This disk has such wonderfully fresh takes on classic bossa nova as "The Girl From Ipanema" and "Desafinado", as well as jazz standards like "They Can't Take That Away From Me" or "Day By Day". And even a great version of Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman".
Also pay attention to Ivan Lins, brilliant as ever, in "I'm Not Alone". Another special guest star is Toots Thielmans and Oscar Castro Neves is an exceptional guitar player.
This is music both for bossa nova lovers and those who have never even heard of it before. After listening to it they are going to become obsessed with the music.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bossa Nova stories Comment: Any CD that Eliane Elias brings out is guaranteed to be a best seller. She is a terrific pianist, singer and performer and this CD doesnt disappoint in any way. Toots Thielman's rendition on one track is goose- bump making. This is a must for all Eliane Elias fans to have in their collection.
