- About this concert:
Musically traveling from the masters of jazz piano to the shimmering rhythms of Brazil, pianist, singer, and composer Eliane Elias and an all-star quartet perform sumptuous versions of songs from Elias’ two most recent Candid albums, 2021’s piano-centric GRAMMY-winner “Mirror Mirror” and 2022’s session devoted to sun-splashed Brazilian classics, “Quietude.”
“Mirror Mirror” was Elias’ first piano-only album in over 25 years and a summit meeting of piano giants featuring duos with Cuban icon Chucho Valdés and Corea, making one of his final recorded appearances before his untimely passing in February 2021.
With an undeniable instrumental chemistry that DownBeat called “an artistic marvel,” “Mirror Mirror” won the 2022 GRAMMY for Best Latin Jazz Album.
