Our Take

Step aside, drum machines and auto-tuned vocals, because AZYMUTH is here to remind us of the groovy, authentic sound of the 70s with their Demos (1973-75) Volumes 1.

This collection of demos is like finding a hidden gem in your grandma's attic - raw, unpolished, and oozing with charm. From the funky basslines to the jazzy keyboard solos, AZYMUTH's music transports you back to a time where disco balls reigned supreme and bell-bottoms were all the rage.

Tracks like "Manha" and "Partido Alto" showcase the band's undeniable chemistry and knack for blending traditional Brazilian rhythms with futuristic electronic sounds. It's like taking a trip to Rio de Janeiro without ever leaving your living room.

Sure, the production quality may not be top-notch, but that's part of the album's charm. You can almost hear the band members jamming in a smoky basement, experimenting with new sounds and pushing the boundaries of what was considered "normal" in the music industry at the time.

So, if you're looking for a musical time capsule that will transport you back to the golden age of Brazilian jazz-funk, look no further than AZYMUTH's Demos (1973-75) Volumes 1. Trust me, your ears will thank you.

About the artist

Azymuth

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Azymuth is a funky jazz trio that has been making waves in the music scene since the 1970s. Comprised of keyboardist Jose Roberto Bertrami, bassist Alex Malheiros, and drummer Ivan Conti, these guys are the epitome of cool. Known for their unique blend of samba, jazz, and funk, Azymuth’s music is a wild ride through groovy rhythms and infectious melodies that will have you tapping your feet and shaking your hips in no time. With their killer sense of rhythm and mind-blowing instrumental virtuosity, it’s no wonder they’ve been hailed as Brazil’s answer to the legendary fusion bands of the 70s. But don’t be fooled by their laid-back vibe – these guys are serious musicians who take their craft very seriously. Bertrami’s intricate keyboard solos, Malheiros’ funky bass lines, and Conti’s tight drumming all come together to create a sound that is truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re a jazz aficionado or just looking for some good music to dance to, Azymuth has something for everyone. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a caipirinha, and get ready to groove to the infectious beats of this Brazilian trio. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
