Swept Away is a studio album by jazz musicians Marc Johnson (double bass) and Eliane Elias (piano) with Joey Baron on drums and Joe Lovano on tenor saxophone. The album was released on September 7, 2012 by ECM Records.
Both The Guardian and AllMusic gave the album four stars. In The Guardian, critic John Fordham sees the influence of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett and praises the album's intimacy. At AllMusic, Rick Anderson calls it "ECM jazz" after ECM Records and the melancholy and spaciousness which are characteristic of many albums in the label's catalogue.
All tracks except for "Shenandoah" were composed by Eliane Elias (1–3, 5, 7, 8, 10) and Marc Johnson (4, 6, 8–10).
