Eliane Elias Sings Jobim

David Zych of Jazz Times stated "On the heels of her successful Eliane Elias Plays Jobim comes this new outing, and it is a winner.

Elias’s touch on the keyboard is gentle and deliberate, making every note count and never letting one go to waste.

Joining her are Marc Johnson on bass, Michael Brecker, naturally, on tenor, and Brazilian colleagues Paulo Braga, one of Jobim’s longest serving durmmers, and guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves.

"[7] A reviewer of Dusty Groove stated "Eliane Elias really shows off her vocal skills here – singing the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim at a level that really recalls some of the best breathy singers of the 60s – a mode that was especially rare at the time this set was recorded!

Eliane definitely references Astrud Gilberto a lot in her approach, but also finds here own level too – a sound that's also shaped by her own work on the record on piano, in a group that also features Oscar Castro Neves on guitar and Michael Brecker on tenor sax".
