Description
Eliane Elias / Time and Again
“Time has multiple meanings for me on this album. It refers to the feel and groove of the music which have always been essential features in my music, but also, the tune titles and lyrics refer to aspects of time; past, present and future, as well as the passage of time. There are songs and musicians represented here from the earliest part of my musical journey to the present.”….Eliane Elias

Mirror Mirror is an extraordinary piano duet recording of Eliane Elias with the late legendary jazz great Chick Corea, and famed Cuban pianist Chucho Valdés. While her highly successful recordings have predominantly featured her alluring voice and piano mastery, the piano has always been her first love and working with these two incredible icons of jazz was a rare opportunity to record in a two-piano setting, something she hasn’t done in many years, since her piano duet recordings with Herbie Hancock.

“It was Astrud Gilberto’s single of “The Girl from Ipanema,” released in 1964, that transformed the bossa nova into a global sensation.
