Customer Reviews:

• a fitting tribute to one of the greats
  Another fine effort from Eliane, I have yet to be disappointed by anything of hers. To say I'm a bit smitten with Eliane is an understatement. I love hearing her put to words some of the songs that Bill Evans did instrumentally "A Sleeping Bee" and "Waltz for Debby" come to mind. This album has gotten a daily listen since I purchased it. I would highly recommend this album to anyone.

• The Best Pianist Who Sings
  I was not a big fan of Eliane Elias' "Dreamer," so I bought this c.d. with some trepidation. It has received really good reviews; would I be wrong to buck the tide?
  As it turns out, I'm not bucking the tide. This c.d. proves a basic point: Eliane Elias is the best pianist who sings. That's not to say she's the best singer who plays piano: I'd vote for Diana Krall on that score. And it's not to say she's the best singer/pianist: I'd vote for Andy Bey, but with a special nod to Patricia Barber.

• Nice, nice, nice.
  A really nice album from Elaine. She handles Bill's tunes with great touch and feeling, but with her own personality. The only negative I have is that I wish she had included more of Bill's tunes and less Brazil. But, overall a wonderful addition to anyone's jazz piano collection.
