「Azymuth – Águia Não Come Mosca」は、ブラジルのジャズファンクを極めた名盤だ。アジムスの卓越した演奏技術と、斬新なサウンドが詰まっており、エネルギッシュなリズムとメロディが絶妙に融合する。エレクトリックピアノの軽快なタッチ、ファンキーなベースライン、そしてパーカッションの緻密なアレンジが、全体の音楽に豊かな表情を与えている。特にタイトル曲「Águia Não Come Mosca」は、その独特なグルーヴとダイナミックな展開で、聴く者を魅了すること間違いなし。都会の夜のドライブやリラックスしたひとときにぴったりのアルバムだ。ブラジリアン・フュージョンの魅力を存分に味わえる一枚。

Golden-era, 1977, Brazilian jazz-funk-fusion album from the legendary, Azymuth.

Lush Rhodes, soaring synths and fusion guitars from Malheiros and Bertrami combine with the inimitable drum grooves from Ivan “Mamao” Conti that create the signature Azymuth sound.

The album moves from mellow soulful moods, into screaming disco-jazz-fusion, samba funk, synth boogie and ends with a tough 160bpm Batucada workout.

This is actually the first Azymuth album that we have released on Mr Bongo, which came as a surprise to us too.
