Jobim At 100
‘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.’
Beat Magazine
‘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.’
Tracey Korsten, Glam Adelaide
In 2026/27 Panorama Brasil presents the Jobim At 100 project, celebrating 100 years of the lauded Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim.
2024 marked the premiere of Panorama Brasil’s orchestral project showcasing the work of Jobim. In collaboration with Orchestra Victoria, the ensemble played Melbourne International Jazz Festival at iconic concert venue Hamer Hall. ‘Rhapsody In Blue’ featured Grammy award-winning pianist from Japan Makoto Ozone, performing Gershwin and Corea material, while Panorama Brasil brought Antonio Carlos Jobim’s masterpieces to life with full orchestral arrangements by Alastair Kerr & Matt Boden.
‘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.’ (Beat Magazine)
