I recently noted that Elis Regina sits the whole time she sings during a performance with Milton Nascimento. The Brazilian music cognoscenti over at Spinning in Air responded with this conjecture as to why, as well as coming up with an educated guess about who the drummer and pianist might be:
She was pregnant at the time, per some of the "info." text about that special, over on YouTube.
I'd like to know who the drummer is myself - he might be the drummer who was on this special http://trama.uol.com.br/portalv2/internacionalv2/album.jsp?id=3101
which you can watch on YouTube. My guess is that the pianist on the clip you posted is Elis' husband, César Camargo Mariano.
(I'd have posted this in a comment on your blog, except that you don't have comments enabled....)
Tchau,
Spinning
