Jobim At 100
Panorama Brasil’s Jobim Orchestral Series
‘Arranged for orchestra by Panorama Brasil’s musical director Alastair Kerr and Matt Boden, the huge range of pieces selected had the effect of transforming the enormous concert hall into an intimate jazz club. Kerr made full use of Orchestra Victoria’s depth and range to extract the broadest reserves of emotion and sensuality from the strings and flute, as supported by Matt Boden on piano…The sashaying, lively energy pouring from the stage carried the most wonderful quality of glamour and vibrance, as though the sound itself were radiating the ruby sunlight of a Brazilian beach bar. In particular Kerr on drums and Boden’s pulsing, propulsive piano combined to give the pieces a fantastic sense of vigour and character.’

‘The backbone of this show is Panorama Brasil, the amazing outfit put together by percussionist Alastair Kerr...a dream combo to deliver the sounds of Jobim.’
