In 2002 he joins the jazz-blues band Basin Street Café; the climax being the performance in the 10th anniversary of Cazorla's International Blues Festival, where they present Takeaway Gumbo, recorded in April 2004. Elis contributes to this record with four original compositions. One of them is used for the soundtrack of the Basque film Txakurkalea (Dog Street), written and directed by David Civico.
In 2006 Elis takes part in the formation of the jazz quintet Bemsha Bounds. After numerous gigs in the jazz club scene in the Basque Country, they record the album Room Full of Swing ; an album that is presented live in Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazzaharrean 2007 Jazz Festival.

‘Ripples’ is the title of his latest adventure. In this self-produced work, he shows us, once again, a great capacity to integrate his musical experience. A daring, fresh, uninhibited as well as mature record; where the interrelation of the quartet is outstanding. Mikel Sasia with his defiant electric guitar, Rik Bernabe with the murmur of his bass, rich in tonalities and Aritza de Castro, silky with the brushes and wise with the sticks.
