Azymuth in the 70'sChecking the credits on Jazzanova's 'Of All The Things' (which I discussed a couple of days ago), I found out Brazilian jazzfunk-band Azymuth contributed to the very sunny 'Gafiera' (ft. Pedro Martins). To me, this is proof these guys impressed music lovers around the world and still get a lot of props from contemporary musicians inspired by their stuff. Their best known song and greatest hit most probably is the up-tempo partyfunk song 'Jazz Carnival', but the Azymuth-joint that first caught my attention was the fantastic 'Dear Limmertz'. The bass-slapping immediately manages to hit your spine while the rhodes and vocoder create a spacy atmosphere suited for a promising night out. My personal hero Madlib, who is known to be a huge fan of Brazilian music , started a project with Azymuth-drummer Ivan 'Mamao' Conti, releasing the album 'Sujinho' last year. Check out a video of the Jackson Conti-duo jamming here. Enjoy!
