Azymuth – Águia Não Come Mosca 1977 (Atlantic)

Label : Atlantic 

Value :

An incredible little record -- and the set where it really all comes together for this legendary funky jazz group! Azymuth were already great on their debut, although maybe a little experimental at times -- but here, they really find the soulful groove that later got them big fame on the US scene -- effortlessly blending their tight jazz skills with a dose of samba soul, and turning out some wonderfully groovy music in the process! There's clearly an influence here from the best years of Earth Wind & Fire -- but also more of the edge that you'd expect from the young trio -- as the amazing Jose Roberto Bertrami blows us away with his wickedly sharp keyboard solos, as Alexandre Malheiros and Mamao create these beautiful rhythms that go way past anything you might have expected from a trio.

Azimuth is a horrible, inconsequential Happy Jazz group, without proposing anything to the jazz world, just a commercial product, while in their time musical experiments were already being carried out in Brazil, such as: Egberto Gismonti, Hermeto Pascoal, Flora Purim and Airto Moreira. All of them were giving dignity to the roots of their country with jazz. Nothing more to say about this easy listening music, something like use it and throw it away.
