A blend of sonorities that walks between the freedom of jazz, some references to classical music, and Brazilian music

In the repertoire, you'll listen to contemporary jazz, with a Brazilian taste in songs such as "Choro de pai e mãe" (a Choro, a Brazilian traditional style), and "Valsa do Início" (in which Valsas are also melodically representative in Brazilian instrumental music). Modal and contemporary jazz permeate compositions with a Brazilian instrumental music character.

Brazilian pianist and composer, Eloá Gonçalves holds a Master's degree in Jazz Piano from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (Austria), under the guidance of German pianist Olaf Polziehn, and a bachelor's and master's degree in Popular Music from UNICAMP (Brazil). She has participated (among projects as bandleader or collaborations) in 16 albums and 5 DVDs. Since 2018 she leads her trio - Eloá Gonçalves TRIO - with the debut album Casa, released in 2020 under the Austrian label Alessa Records. The album was praised by specialized critics in magazines such as Downbeat (USA), Jazz'Halo (Belgium), Kulturní Magazin (Czech Republic), and Concerto (Austria).

With this album she has been performing at jazz festivals and clubs in Austria, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovenia. With her trio in Brazil, she has been playing in important festivals such as SAVASSI Jazz Festival and venues such as SESC. Also as an educator in Brazil, she was a faculty member at the prestigious Campos do Jordão Festival 2023, in São Paulo. She is currently touring in Brazil with Sandy, one of the most renowned Brazilian pop singers/ songwriters, with whom she has been collaborating since 2010. Eloá just released her second album, About what moves things, under Austrian label Alessa Records, featuring French singer/cellist Mathilde Vendramin and German trumpet player, composer/arranger Jakob Helling.
