AllMusic[1]

Amanda is a collaborative studio album by Brazilian jazz artist Eliane Elias and trumpeter Randy Brecker, her then husband.[2][3] The record was released in 1985 via the Passport Jazz label. The album is dedicated to their daughter, Amanda Elias Brecker.[4][5] Shortly thereafter her solo career began, resulting in over twenty albums to date.[6][7]

Reception

[edit]

Scott YanowofAllmusic gave the album a negative review, stating "Considering the talents of trumpeter Randy Brecker and his wife, pianist Eliane Elias, one would expect their 1985 collaboration to be quite worthwhile. However this out-of-print LP is a disappointment for they perform generally weak material, emphasize electronics and utilize rather dull rhythms."
