Brazilian pianist/vocalist Eliane Elias returns to Blue Note after a seven-year hiatus with this wonderful tribute to Bill Evans. Elias cut 16 tunes backed by husband/bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron, and the variety of interpretive approaches assayed by Elias and her collaborators is, in itself, a highlight. Some are terrific trio instrumentals, such as "You and the Night and the Music," "Five" and "Blue in Green," while solo efforts "I Love My Wife" and "For Nenette" highlight Elias' keyboard virtuosity. She delivers several vocal performances, including a lovely rendition of "Here Is Something for You," a wholly simpatico "Minha" (one of the only Brazilian songs Evans performed) and a very cool cover of "Detour Ahead." —Philip Van Vleck
