I had the distinct pleasure of playing a bunch of gigs where Billy Kilson played with Larry Carlton and as this shows he’s a simply amazing player in every way..... these are serious players and this kicks ass.
I've been a Steps Ahead fan for decades. And I met Eliane Elias once in an elevator heading to her performance one evening in Cambridge, MA. She's amazingly talented. Smelled great too.😉
Lovely to see Mike Mainieri and Eliane Elias showing that great rapport that helped make the self titled Steps Ahead such a great album, even though it would have been great to have Peter Erskine and Eddie Gomez, Marc Johnson and Billy Kilson make a great rhythm section whil Donny McCaslin does a wonderful job in channeling the spirit of the late great Michael Brecker but still staying true to his own self. Such a great band of some of the finest musicians in the world.
One of the best moments on UA-cam. What amazing musicians! Every solo a triumph. Maybe the best bass solo I remember seeing. Gave me goosebumps! These people really feel the beat.
What a band! Straight ahead all the way. Jazz is a language all in it's self. We can enjoy it in these terrific videos and preserve it by sharing it. Bravo jazz masters.
Like the way Eliane look with a little smile while soloing... She's still in a great form - like Mike too by the way... (I listen Steps Ahead since 1983 (I was 20 as the album Pools came out - one of their greatest in my opinion!)
great that you liked it, also loved it! it may be that you do not know where the idea comes from or maybe I am mistaken, in any case listen to the music Asa Branca by Luís Gonzaga and Humberto Teixeira Cavalcanti, Eliane's improvisation really excellent. If you want to listen to this version ua-cam.com/video/1VgtVJE9bb0/v-deo.html with another approach to music but also very interesting and beautiful.

amo Eliane Elias, super curto Marc Johnson e Mainieri e McCaslin mas Billy Kilson moeu!!! 👏👏👏 hardly a "Steps Ahead" reunion but a great reunion anyway!
Hardly a Steps reunion, with only two from that classic 1983 album line up. Great swinging band however! Would have been nice to see Peter Erskine & Eddie Gomez join in too but Billy and Marc are slaying it anyway!
They sound terrific, and it's nice to hear q return to an acoustic sound... but it's hard to call it a reunion if it's just Manieri and Eliane Elias from the original group... they should have gotten Eddie Gomez and Peter Erskine for it to be a true reunion.
Elaine Elias the best female Jazz piano player, she is well respected in the world of Jazz not to mention a great voice.
Yeah! She is a teacher of piano in the lincoln center, finest word class
She is flawless. (Renee Rosness also needs a mention for great women pianists).
Why "female"? She is great by any standard! Sexism is out ...
One of the best if not the best contemporary jazz groups. Thank you Mike Mainieri!
Eliane! Funky, soulful, and burning it up -- all at the same time! Beautiful!

Marc Johnson is one of the greatest bassist ever, so much respect and appreciation.....And Eliane you are the best!
He plays that bass like a guitar. Reminds me of NHOP.
@@METALITHrevetments Indeed he does -- is it just me, or does he quote from a Jaco tune at around 9:40?
While some are clearly better than others, there is no such thing as "best", only favorites.
The very fab Eliane Elias on piano. You're wonderful.
Steps Ahead: everyone is a part of the Jazz Hall of Fame, thank you for the great emotions you gave to us since many years
One of the best moments on UA-cam. What amazing musicians! Every solo a triumph. Maybe the best bass solo I remember seeing. Gave me goosebumps! These people really feel the beat.
Linda lindona lindíssima,! Viva Eliane Elias e a música do Brasil 👏👏👏💙💙💙
What a band! Straight ahead all the way. Jazz is a language all in it's self. We can enjoy it in these terrific videos and preserve it by sharing it. Bravo jazz masters.

Thank... what was that album's title, please?
It was called simply '
Steps Ahead' year of release 1983
What a sexy women and pianist. Mark Johnson is a lucky man besides being a magnificent bassist. Drummer is superb. That is music at it,s very best.
wow...that was a nice bass solo
RIP. Michael,Victor,Chuck,Bob...
Great !

Elian Maestro !!
GREAT MUSICIANS
Muito bom.

She seem pretty relaxed and natural.
Holy shit those vibes solos are insane
I believe he's 78! Unbelievable
Flying high !
Phénoménal
Formidable
Обалдеть!
Pô! Meus compatriotas não participam, nem quando o assunto é Bossa Nova? Jobim estava certo: "O brasileiro não cultua seus ídolos".
no tiene que demostrarle nada a nadie ...tremenda artista...me encantaría tocar con ella ...
is beautiful jazz but Elian elias amazing pianist, also Marc super bass play
They sound terrific, and it's nice to hear q return to an acoustic sound... but it's hard to call it a reunion if it's just Manieri and Eliane Elias from the original group... they should have gotten Eddie Gomez and Peter Erskine for it to be a true reunion.
Great...
Wow !
