Eliane Elias (piano, arreglos)

Eddie Gomez o Marc Johnson (contrabajo), Jack DeJohnette o Satoshi Takeishi (baterá), Manolo Badrena (percusión).

Grabado en Power Station Studios, en la ciudad de Nueva York (USA) en 1995.

26º álbum de la excelente pianista paulistana con originales arreglos propios -en varios casos utilizando ritmos brasileños como baião (The barber's song"), samba ("The impossible dream") o frevo ("A little gossip"-) de temas del famoso musical "Man of La Mancha" estrenado en Broadway en 1964, inspirado en la obra teatral de 1959 "I, Don Quixote", basada a su vez en la obra maestra de Miguel de Cervantes "Don Quijote de la Mancha". Por motivos contractuales, el registro permaneció inédito hasta este momento (abril 2018), muy a pesar de Mitch Leigh (1928 - 2014), compositor de la obra y coproductor de la grabación de la que se sentía especialmente orgulloso (como atestiguan los hijos del compositor estadounidense en plabras recogidas en el libreto del disco).

"Melodies, melodies, sumptuous melodies. That’s the central attraction of Eliane Elias’ new album, which also features dazzling bouts of improvisation... One need not have any familiarity with the stage or film versions of Man of La Mancha to enjoy this excellent album, which is filled with hummable melodies and Elias’ impressive, right-hand improv flourishes. Deftly avoiding sentimentality and cliché, the pianist has crafted a compelling samba arrangement of “The Impossible Dream” (one of the show’s most often-interpreted tunes). Elias utilized the Brazilian rhythm of frevo in her arrangement of “A Little Gossip,” which is spiced with an agile solo by Johnson. “I’m Only Thinking Of Him,” which features Gomez and DeJohnette, feels completely fresh in 2018." Bobby Reed (DownBeat)

"...it is an immensely lush album, a vibrant fusion of Elias’ Brazilian verve and the music’s Latin-meets-Broadway zest—from a shimmering “Dulcinea,” gently roiling “It’s All the Same” and stirringly contemplative “The Barber’s Song,” to a fiery, passionate “To Each His Dulcinea” and the Carnaval-esque rumpus of “A Little Gossip.” And, yes, “Dream” is here: freed of the bombast pop vocalists have typically lent it, masterfully reimagined as a spirited samba" Christopher Loudon (Jazz Times)
