An album released in 1982 by Azymuth, one of the greatest groups in the Brazilian jazz-funk/fusion scene, consisting of Jose Roberto Bertrami, Alex Malheiros, and Ivan Conti. Created at the peak of their powers, ten years after their formation, this record captures the trio’s astounding chemistry at its finest. When it comes to Azymuth, the spotlight inevitably falls on Jose Roberto Bertrami’s rolling electric piano, and here you can fully enjoy his quintessential playing. Every track is excellent, but the standout recommendation is B4, dedicated to Milton Nascimento, where a meltingly mellow feeling merges with a light Brazilian groove, flooding the listener with an indescribable sense of euphoria. It’s a track that ranks among Azymuth’s greatest masterpieces. This is the original U.S. pressing.
A3: Through the Window
A4: Remembering Milton
