Typifying the consummate craftsmanship of the three members' performances, each with such distinct personality and together so perfectly balanced, their perfectionist attitude to sound is maintained across the production on the album, beautifully colouring the expressionist fusion of samba rhythm, jazz progression, funk attitude and psychedelic electronics. The album hosts a wonderful mix of tempos and styles, from Alex Malheiros' earth-shaking slap-bass on 'Dear Limmertz', which was to become a hit on London's underground disco and jazz-dance club scenes alike, to the late maestro Jose Roberto Bertrami's genial melodic Rhodes excursions on the vocoder laden, samba-jazz masterpiece 'Un Amigo', while Ivan 'Mamao' Conti's signature swing on 'Maracana' exemplifies the root of Azymuth's 'samba doido' (crazy samba) philosophy.","brand":"Far Out","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41942704062673,"sku":"5060211503146","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/2866\/0689\/products\/azymuth-outurbo-blue-color-vinyl-lp-5065007965511-far-out-recordings-good-taste-records-270533.jpg?v=1710525604"},{"product_id":"azymuth-love-at-copacabana-palace-deluxe-blue-green-color-vinyl-lp","title":"Azymuth - Love at Copacabana Palace (Deluxe Blue \u0026 Green Color) Vinyl LP","description":"Azymuth is a Brazilian jazz-funk group formed in 1973.
