Winter Jazz: DR Big Band and Joyce Moreno

Bossa nova meets big band when Brazilian vocal legend Joyce Moreno returns to DR Big Band for a shared tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim, marking what would have been his 100th anniversary.

Jobim introduced the world to bossa nova in the 1960s, and his music still holds up as a classic. DR Big Band has worked with many Latin masters over the years and clearly loves Jobim's songs. For this evening, the orchestra is joined by American big band arranger Michael Abene, who has written new arrangements of Jobim's songbook especially for the band and Moreno.

Moreno is counted among the finest living artists combining bossa nova, samba and jazz. The concert is the first of four in the Winter Jazz series at Taastrup Teater & Musikhus, which runs into February 2027.
