Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Far Out Recordings proudly presents two albums of previously unheard Azymuth demo recordings from 1973-75

Since their debut album release in 1975, Azymuth have risen to rank alongside the world’s greatest jazz, funk and fusion artists. As young men in Rio de Janeiro, they stood out for both their exceptional talent as musicians, and their wild rock ‘n’ roll antics in the predominantly middle-class worlds of bossa nova and jazz. Their signature ‘Samba Doido’ (crazy samba) sound ruptured the tried and tested musical structures of the day, resulting in what can only be described as an electric, psychedelic, samba jazz-funk hybrid.
But before they became Azymuth, Jose Roberto Bertrami (keyboards), Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti (drums), Alex Malheiros (bass) and Ariovaldo Contesini (percussion) played backing band to just about every major artist in Brazil.

Bertrami was also contracted as an arranger and songwriter at some the biggest labels of the era: Polydor, Philips, Som Livre, and EMI being just a few. Azymuth’s name can be found on record sleeves by the likes of Jorge Ben, Elis Regina, Marcos Valle, Ana Mazzotti and countless others. But at the dawn of the seventies, fascinated by developments in improvisational music - from jazz in the US, to progressive rock in the UK and of course samba, bossa and tropicália on home turf - the energetic young group were inspired and ready to move forward.Any spare moment in which they weren’t in sessions and writing music for other artists, they would be carving out their own sound.

These previously unheard recordings took place between 1973-75 at Bertrami’s home studio in the Laranjeiras district of Rio de Janeiro. At the time of recording, there was nothing in Brazil, less the world that sounded anything like them, so perhaps it’s unsurprising that when Bertrami presented his demos to the record companies he had been working for, he was turned away, and told in effect that the music was ‘wrong’.

One of the demos ‘Manhã’ would be picked up by Som Livre and Azymuth released their seminal debut album in 1975. Throughout the late seventies and eighties, the group released a series of now classic albums for Milestone Records, before taking an indefinite hiatus to pursue their individual careers.
When English producers Joe Davis and Roc Hunter arrived in Brazil in 1994 to record the first Azymuth album in over a decade, Bertrami dug out the demos which had sat virtually untouched for over twenty years. Joe recalls how he was “blown away by the freedom and intensity of the music, as well as the genius of the ideas musically.” Beginning a long and fruitful relationship, ‘Prefacio’ would be the first track Azymuth recorded for Far Out Recordings and was released on the Carnival album (1996).

Along with ‘Manhã’ and ‘Prefacio’, only a handful of these demos were ever professionally recorded and released, making this the first opportunity to hear many of these early Azymuth compositions in their raw, original form.

On every track the frenetic energy in the studio is palpable, giving the recordings a beautifully personal feel and a sense of the phenomenally creative vision Bertrami, Malheiros and Conti were realising at the time. Fifty years on, Azymuth’s earliest recorded music retains an ineffable, futuristic quality, standing amongst their most captivating and moving work.

Listen to one of the new tracks by The Bas Lexter Ensample - New album - Tres Greatful Amigos out now on www.Deja-Tunes.com. 

Die nächste Platte bitte! The Bas Lexter Ensample ist zurück. ‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ ist das 3te Album des in Hannover ansässigen Multi-instrumentalisten, DJs und Produ-zenten Ricci Puncha, welcher der Mann hinter diesem Projekt ist. Was sonst könnten wir sagen? Diese Platte bereitet einem einfach gute Laune. Wieder Mal bietet Bas Lexter uns seine großartige Spieltart zwischen 50iger bis hin zu 70iger Themen an, die in gewohnter Manier mit modernen, swingenden Beats, jazzigen Meldodien und Einflüssen, sowie mit vielen knisternden Soul Samples garniert sind.

‘DJ Cuzcos Revenge’ eröffnet das Album mit einem atmosphärischen Feeling, das einen an den Eröffnungstitel eines alten Alfred Hitchcock Streifens denken lässt, der auf einen 90iger DJ mit echten ‘Scratchskills’ trifft. Bas öffnet uns von der ersten Minute an die Türen in sein musikalisches Universum. Der zweite Titel ‘Sweetback Fresh Out Da Jack’ ist eine ‘dicke’ ‘Rare Groove’ Nummer mit wunderbaren Bläser- und Strecherlinien unterlegt und einem Oldschool MC, der seine Rhymes über eine Menge positiver Energie fließen lässt. Man würde am liebesten nach Jamaika fliegen nachdem man die ‘heiße Sommernacht’ Reggae Nummer ‘Lonley Feeling (Rocking Night)’ gehört hat. Der Track ist schlicht und ergreifend eine Perle von einem Underground Reggae Titel. Ebenso wie ‘Blessings’, welches eine Remix Adaption von Aaron Bingle’s ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ ist, hier in einer ‘rootsigen’, energetischen und leichtfüssigen Retro-interpretation. Was mehr braucht man mehr um ein Bas Lexter Album zu machen? Jazzy Swings? Diese werden mit ‘Dickie’s Freestyle Mambo’ und dem percussionlastigen Titel Voo-doo King serviert. Auf der Uptempo Seite haben wir authentische Breakbeats mit dem B-Boy Track ‘Blendsfield’. Bas wäre nicht Bas, würde er uns nicht für einen Moment in die Gefilde der ‘Latin’ Musik entführen. Mit ‘No Te Meta’, ‘Me La Llevo’ und der Easy Listening Nummer ‘Bá!’ kommt er unseren Freunden auf der Süd-Amerikanischen Seite des Globus entgegen. Er spielt seine melancholischen Gitarren- und Pianolinien über wunderbar rhythmische und treibende Latinobeats. Auf der Soulseite haben wir tiefe und langsame Soultracks wie ‘Wassup’ und ‘The 4th Take’, die einen an die guten alten ‘Marvin Gaye’ Zeiten erinnern. Mit ‘Jane C’, ‘Last Time Last Chance’ und ‘Follow You’ beendet Bas sein Album in einer traditionellen Manier mit etwas Downbeat ‘Freshness’. Titel die sich von der ersten Minute anhören, als ob man sie schon immer kennen würde und als ob sie schon immer da gewesen wären.

‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ ist wie ein Statement bezüglich der nun insgesamt drei erschienen Bas Lexter Alben. Sie sind allesamt ‘Amigos’, es gibt` drei oder ‘Tres’ von ihnen und wir sind dankbar – ‘Greatful’ bei Deja-Tunes, dass wir mit dieser tollen Musik arbeiten dürfen.

                                                                                                                                                  

Next record please! The Bas Lexter Ensample is back. ‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ is the 3rd album of the Hanover based multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer Ricci Puncha, who is the guy behind the project. What can we say? This record will make you having an uplifting time. Again Bas Lexter provides the finest mixture between 50ies to 70ies music styles, combined with his modern swinging beats, jazzy influenced melodies and many sizzling, soulful samples.

‘DJ Cuzcos Revenge’ introduces the record with an atmospherically feeling, reminding in the opener of an old Alfred Hitchcock movie, meeting up with skillful early-90ies Dj cuts. Bas opens up the doors into his universe of music from the first minute on. The second title ‘Sweetback Fresh Out Da Jack’ is a heavy ‘Rare Groove’ track with amazing string- and hornworks and an Oldschool MC who is flowing with his rhymes over a lot of positiv energy. The ‘hot-summer-night’ Reggae tune ‘Lonley Feeling (Rocking Night)’ simply is a pearl of an underground Reggae music title that makes you want to buy a ticket and fly to Jamaica and get deeper into their Reggae music culture. Just like ‘Blessings’ which is a remix adaptation from Aaron Bingle’s ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ – in a rootsy, easy sounding and energizing retro-interpretation. What more does it take to make a Bas Lexter album? Jazzy swings? They are being served with ‘Dickie’s Freestyle Mambo’ and the percussion weighted track Voo-doo King. On the uptempo side we have some authentic Breakbeats coming with the B-Boy track ‘Blendsfield’. Bas would not be Bas if he would not lead us into the fields of Latin music for a moment. With ‘No Te Meta’, ‘Me La Llevo’ and the Easy Listening tittle ‘Bá!’ he is satisfying our friends on the South-American side of the globe. Sweet, melancholic guitars and piano melodies are running over his swinging and powerful latino rhythms. On the ‘souldside’ we have the deep and slow soultracks ‘Wassup’ and ‘The 4th Take’, reminding a bit in the good old ‘Marvin Gaye’ times. With ‘Jane C’, ‘Last Time Last Chance’ and ‘Follow You’, Bas is finishing the album in a traditional manner with some downbeat freshness, sounding like these perfect tracks you would know since ever and which have always been there.

‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ is like a statement regarding the 3 albums Bas has done so far. They are all ‘Amigos’, it`s three or ‘Tres’ of them and we are ‘Greatful’ at Deja-Tunes to being able to work with this great music.
