Ao Vivo

Description

Recorded entirely during a single evening at the Miner Auditorium of the SFJAZZ Center, AO VIVO paints an intimate and vibrant portrait of multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning Eliane Elias in full artistic expression. Accompanied by her exceptional quartet—guitarist Leandro Pellegrino, drummer Rafael Barata, and bassist Marc Johnson—Elias delivers a true masterclass in the rich Brazilian rhythmic spectrum, from fiery sambas and bossa novas to baião and Afro-Brazilian grooves. The repertoire draws from her GRAMMY® Award-winning and nominated discography—including Mirror Mirror, Made in Brazil, and Quietude—while offering a new arrangement of Jobim's "A Felicidade." Highlighting works by iconic composers such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Ary Barroso, and Dorival Caymmi, the album also features Elias's evocative composition "At First Sight," as well as a piece by the renowned Armando Manzanero. With 33 albums and over 500 million streams to her name, Elias continues to define the fusion of jazz virtuosity and classical sophistication. AO VIVO captures the incomparable elegance and exhilarating energy of an internationally acclaimed artist sharing an authentic and intense musical dialogue with her audience.
