Made in Brazil is a 2015 studio album by Brazilian jazz musician Eliane Elias.[3] The title refers to the fact that it is the first of her albums in thirty years to be recorded in her home country, Brazil.[4] The album earned Elias a Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album.[5]
Reception
Eric Ford of LondonJazz noted "Whilst the cover of this CD looks like it might be aiming directly at the easy listening/music for seduction end of the spectrum, the CD itself is a subtle masterclass in phrasing, groove, taste, rhythmic suppleness, harmonic sophistication and songwriting. Three generations of Brazilian songwriters are represented".[6]
Judy Cantor-Navas of Billboard wrote "Sensual and breezy, the set -- which includes classics “Waters of March” and “Aquarela do Brasil,” as well as six of her own compositions—transmits Elias’ delight at recording in her homeland with local musicians".[7]
