‘The band launched straight into the heady syncopations of the maracatu from Recife, transporting us immediately into the alternative reality of a wild, intensely colourful carnival, about as far removed from Adelaide in winter as you can get.’
Stephen Wittington, Adelaide Advertiser
‘Drummer/percussionist and Brazilian music aficionado, Alastair Kerr, and world-class Brazilian/jazz style guitarist, Doug de Vries, are the musical directors of Jobim. With their beautiful band Panorama Brasil, these wonderful musicians deliciously opened the evening before inviting Brazilian chanteuse Alda Rezende to the stage.'
Nikki Fort, The Clothesline
‘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
‘A joyous performance by Panorama Brasil, who obviously love Brazilian music and are carrying the torch in Melbourne…I especially enjoyed the warm and sensational vocals of Jacqueline Gawler and her impeccable Portuguese accent.’
Chong Lim AM, Australian Producer / Musical Director
‘...a tasty selection of these timeless tunes performed by some of the best musicians we, and the world, have in this genre.'
Nikki Fort, The Clothesline
