For his part, Malcolm Strachan has chosen for us some of his favorites and main influences tune including some great Trumpet and Sax players like Freddie Hubbard, Eddie Harris, Stanley Turrentine and the Master Dizzy Gillespie.

Azymuth tribute Mix / Kaleidoskop Radio Show/ Jazzanova

This mix was made on April 8th, 2020 in isolation during the COVID-19 outbreak. I had been missing the experience of record shopping, so I decided to look through records I already had on my shelves, and find some good soul songs I had either ignored or glossed over. Hope you enjoy!

Stay-At-Home Soul

Copenhagen based party starter Dj Universe presents a mix of 100% Azymuth: 

"In February 2015 my friends Sean and Anthon booked Azymuth for a show in Copenhagen and somehow I ended up juggling the roles of being the designated driver, camera man and warm up DJ for the concert. I will never forget those days. The group turned the depressing Danish winter into summer at the snap of a finger just with their presence and the concert itself had one of the most diverse audiences I’ve ever experienced in Copenhagen, all coming together under the warm Azymuth groove. 

Narrowing down 40 years of great music down to a 1h 47m mix was a tough process and I know there are some obvious ones missing, nevertheless I tried my best to grasp and represent the versatile soundscape the group has left behind. The mix spans over 4 decades and about 75 BPM, from the shade of the palm tree to the floor in the club, and I hope it can provide just a little of the magic that I felt witnessing the group play live."
