Samba Fusion - Si,Si,Si...!!!.......2006-12-31

Latin rhythms combined with jazz improvisation has provided the world with some of the most engaging and passionate music that has ever existed; and this bonus release version of the 'Outubro' album by Brazilian fusion group Azymuth is an outstanding example of all the facets of what makes this kind of music cross-culturally appealing and extremely enjoyable to listen to - and dance to. It may seem odd to some listeners that jazz - flavored music could be characterized as "danceable" - but; in fact - the samba rhythms; like Cuban salsa and the Spanish cumbias are indeed meant for celebration. And in the music of stellar Brazilian musicians such as Jose Roberto Bertrami, Alex Malheiros and Ivan Conti you will find a lot to dance to and listen to! My brother and I first discovered this band when we began delving into other types of music during the latter half of the 1970's and early 1980's when so-called jazz fusion music was just beginning to gain notoriety and popular acceptance. We enjoyed having and knowing about fresh things that not everyone was immediately open to. And we have our mom to thank for thoroughly supporting our musical interests from the time when we were still youngsters. Her love for good music probably is what moved both of us toward eventually becoming involved in music-related careers(I went into entertainment electronics, staging, live music production and recording studio engineering after a brief stint of playing drums and singing; while he veered towards deejaying; music programming and broadcasting - working in dance clubs and the radio industry). We were always reading the liner notes and album cover information to learn more about the artists who made the music we enjoyed so much; and these guys have continually ranked among our many favorite 'discoveries'. The original release of the 'Outubro' album, on vinyl; was monumental for both of us(he kept our original copy and I repurchased it again on wax after I moved out to the West Coast - before I found the compact disc version)and now the cycle is complete with this re-release of the special Black Sun CD(with bonus 'live' tracks)once again being available(there were only limited copies when it was first issued back in 1983/84). I grabbed a CD copy without hesitation when it was still over 25 dollars per unit and now I've ordered it for him as well. If you can get your hands on the CD version; you will have something truly special! I have heard other deejays who program Azymuth's songs into their music sets and it's always a 'hit' with the crowds! Other reviewers have already commented on the specifics of the songs of this album and their appeal - there is nothing more to add other than just giving the affirmative 'nod' of agreement - this simply is great music by great artists!!

Awesome Brazilian Rhythms and Brazilian Funky Jazz !!!!!.......2002-04-13

The Editorial Review has actually said it all about this fantastic group and album; I'm just adding my tiny contribution to an immense project. This is one of Azymuth's first albums back in 79-80 and still sounds as fresh, imaginative and skilfull as any contemporary album in the same category. The best cuts are: Dear Limmertz, Un Amigo (A Friend), Partido Alto (High Game), and Fly Over the Horizon. If you like Brazilian rhythmic music and Funky Jazz, this is without a doubt a perfect album for you.!!!

Excellent Fusion.......2000-01-31

I bought this album when it was originally released in 1980, and still sounds fresh 20 years later. Mixing traditional Brazilian samba with jazz fusion, Outubro(October for those who don't speak Portugeuse) is one of Azymuth's best albums. The extremely funky "Dear Limmertz" is worth the price of admission alone. Plus this CD reissue contains previously unreleased live tracks to make this already great album even better.
