The Brazilian jazz pianist goes full-tilt from the start, with dense and intense rhythms, indeed a florid, Lisztian intricacy, on "To Each His Dulcinea." One listen to Elias's substitutions on the theme and you know she's playing with a full quiver of creativity as well as a twinkle in her eye.

'Just For Tonight' is rich and affluent with delightful harmonics.

'Way Down Deep' delivers rough and ready funk-flavored music that hits home with a wallop.

Swing translates to playing in harmony among the trio's members.

'Do You Believe' emanates a noir energy, as if swathed in uncertainty bordering on disbelief.

For the first time ever, 'Days of Future Passed' live in its entirety—plus nearly an hour of additional concert footage!

'I Am' is average at best, beset by unrelenting syrupy melodies that are calm and collected and quaint.

Ugly Boys have it going on. Gorgeous vocal harmonies and a captivating melody make 'Old News' a definite winner.

'The Golden Shore' dishes up a sweet coalescence of sound with that of space.

I really like 'Preaching to the Choir.' It is mainstream pop in flavor and color, but different and refreshing.
