Azymuth

Farout Recordings just announced in their newsletter what will make Brazilian music lovers clap their hands:
Azymuth are busy recording their sixth artist album for Far Out Recordings at their Copacabana studio in Rio De Janeiro. Early indications (via Skype!) suggest they are striking similarities with the material produced in their jazz/funk era of the 1970s. Stripped down, raw and very live. With Dave Brinkworth at the production helm, we are expecting an awesome album unlike anything Azymuth have produced. Exciting stuff indeed. Yes yes yes!!!!!
