Tree Lawn Artists congratulates ELIANE ELIAS on the US release of Bossa Nova Stories on Blue Note Records!!

Bossa Nova Stories was released in Europe/Japan during 2008, and debuted at #1 on the French Charts and remained #1 for three consecutive weeks. It's was also the #1 Best Selling Jazz Vocal Album in Japan, May-June 2008 (Swing Journal).

This is Eliane's second release within one year. Bossa Nova Stories was preceeded by Something for You, Eliane Elias Sings and Plays Bill Evans. A very productive year indeed!
