Marianne Trudel Plays Antônio Carlos Jobim — Brazilian Jazz at the NAC

Hey Note Lovers, it's Carolyn here. Come join us for Marianne Trudel Plays Antônio Carlos Jobim — Brazilian Jazz at the NAC! tickets

Join us for an intimate evening of Brazilian jazz as acclaimed Canadian pianist Marianne Trudel and her trio revisit the music of Antônio Carlos Jobim, one of the creators of bossa nova.
The program combines beloved pieces such as One Note Samba and Água de Beber with some lesser-known Jobim gems and Brazilian-inspired original compositions. Expect warm melodies, sophisticated harmonies, gentle bossa nova rhythms and expressive improvisation.
Trudel will be joined by Étienne Lafrance on double bass and Sacha Daoud on drums and percussion. This project received the Prix Opus for Jazz Concert of the Year.
This should be an accessible and engaging concert for both experienced jazz listeners and anyone who simply enjoys beautiful piano music and Brazilian rhythms.
