ELIANE ELIAS
A world-class pianist whose mastery of Jazz, Brazilian, Classical, Broadway and more has brought multiple awards, Eliane Elias celebrates the release of her new chart-topping album, “Quietude.” This all-Brazilian record follows her Grammy winning “Mirror Mirror.”
Jazz Weekly raves she is “not only one of the most adroit pianists in jazz, but with albums like this new one, has now entered the top tier of Brazilian vocalists.”
“Eliane Elias is of a generation of aggressive pianists who attack music like a lioness attacking its prey, at the same time expressing a tenderness within the core of her passion that at times has brought me to tears.”
– Herbie Hancock

Performances: 2 Sets | 7:30pm & 9:30pm
Terence Harper started playing the drums at the age of two and at twelve years old began playing the trumpet. While in middle school, Terence began playing the drums for one of the Spelman College Jazz ensembles under the direction of Joe Jennings, while also being featured on a recording with the Inman Middle School jazz band on both trumpet and drums. He went on to matriculate through Rutgers University as a classical trumpet major in 2009, where he studied under William Fielder, who has been regarded as one of the greatest trumpet instructors of his generation. After graduating from Rutgers, Terence relocated to Atlanta, GA where he teaches both privately and publicly.
He occasionally teaches music with the Atlanta Music Project, as well as, continuing to freelance and performs constantly throughout the country. Harper performed weekly at the now defunct yet premier jazz club of Atlanta, Churchill Grounds. Consistently adding to his arsenal, he has studied theory and composition with his father Danny Harper, who is a nationally known and respected music educator at Miles College and also composer and arranger for The Harper Brothers group on Verve record label. He has appeared on numerous radio stations in Atlanta including WCLK and WRFG of Atlanta.
