Eli was born in 1968 in East Patchogue, Long Island, and grew up in a house full of music enthusiasts. He heard folk greats Elizabeth Cotten, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie; classics by Bach, Mozart, Sinatra; and blues by B. B. King, Jimi Hendrix, and Taj Majal. He spent his first 10 years as a young professional pianist working with masters such as drummer Walter Perkins and saxophonist Illinois Jacquet. On the bandstand, Eli absorbed the blues into every molecule of his being playing with Walter Perkins. He learned how you play the blues to make people feel good. On the road in Europe with Illinois Jacquet’s Big Band, Eli deepened his knowledge of swing, drama, the power of the big band, and being well prepared. Eli also worked closely with director/choreographer Mercedes Ellington when, at 24, he served as musical director/pianist for the tenth-anniversary tour of Duke Ellington’s Sophisticated Ladies.
