With this project, MNBB wishes to celebrate and mark the 100th anniversary of Antônio Carlos Jobim’s birth, and to highlight his fantastic music so that it reaches more and new listeners of all ages. Through our collaboration with, amongst others, Petra Ahlmark, who has spent many years independently studying the Brazilian musical styles of bossa nova, samba and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), we see opportunities to bring these fantastic compositions and arrangements to a big band audience in Denmark and Sweden.
