Description
Celebrating twenty-five years of Far Out Recordings, we are overjoyed to present two albums of previously unheard Azymuth tracks recorded between 1973-75. The albums will be released on two separately sold vinyl LPs (Volume 1 and Volume 2), CD and digitally.
Since their debut in 1975, Azymuth have risen to rank alongside the world's greatest jazz, funk and fusion artists. As young men in Rio de Janeiro, they stood out for both their exceptional talent as musicians, and their wild rock 'n' roll antics in the predominantly middle-class worlds of bossa nova and jazz. Before they became Azymuth, Jose Roberto Bertrami (keyboards), Ivan 'Mamão' Conti (drums), Alex Malheiros (bass) and Ariovaldo Contesini (percussion) played backing band to just about every major artist in Brazil. Bertrami was also contracted as an arranger and songwriter at some of the biggest labels of the era: Polydor, Philips, Som Livre, and EMI being just a few. Azymuth's name can be found on record sleeves by the likes of Jorge Ben, Elis Regina, Marcos Valle, Ana Mazzotti and countless others.
These previously unheard recordings took place between 1973-75 at Bertrami's home studio in the Laranjeiras district of Rio de Janeiro. At the time of recording, there was nothing in Brazil, less the world that sounded anything like them, so perhaps it's unsurprising that when Bertrami presented his demos to the record companies he had been working for, he was turned away, and told in effect that the music was 'wrong'.
On every track the frenetic energy in the studio is palpable, giving the recordings a beautifully personal feel and a sense of the phenomenally creative vision Bertrami, Malheiros and Conti were realising at the time. Fifty years on, Azymuth's earliest recorded music retains an ineffable, futuristic quality, standing amongst their most captivating and moving work.
