An Evening with Eliane Elias & WDR Big Band feat. Marc Johnson and Vince Mendoza
In the organizer's words:
When Eliane Elias moved from São Paulo to New York in the early 1980s, she brought with her a classical piano education, her first experiences as a jazz pianist, and a deep understanding of Brazilian musical traditions. In no time at all, she built an international career based on these foundations, which began with a brief stint as a vocalist with the fusion band Steps Ahead before she struck out on her own as a solo artist and bandleader. She has released over 30 albums under her own name, showcasing her distinctive style that blends bossa nova, swing, and modern jazz; many of these have won Grammys and Latin Grammys.
For this first joint project between Eliane Elias and the WDR Big Band, Vince Mendoza—Composer in Residence of the WDR Big Band—creates arrangements that perfectly blend American jazz tradition with Brazilian music, while also serving as musical director. Elias’s partner, Marc Johnson, will be performing on bass.
