ELIANE ELIAS – Light My Fire (2013) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

 Brazilian jazz pianist, vocalist Eliane Elias' 2011 Concord Picante debut Light My Fire is a romantic and sultry affair that showcases her knack for traditional bossa nova tunes as well as few inspired covers. Joining Elias here are a few special guests including Brazil legend Gilberto Gil, who sings on three tracks, as well as singer Amanda Brecker (Elias' daughter with trumpeter Randy Brecker) who appears on "Toda Menina Baiana." Also backing Elias are a bevy of talented individuals, including producer/bassist Marc Johnson, guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves, percussionists Rafael Barata and Paulo Braga, and trumpeter Brecker. Along with Elias' slow-burn take on the Doors' title track, she delivers a stylish version of "My Cherie Amour," adds her own lyrics to trumpeter Kenny Dorham's "Stay Cool," and even delves into Paul Desmond's classic "Take Five."
