From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Azymuth is a three-piece electric funk jazz group from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Formed in the late 1960s, the members are Jose Roberto Bertrami (keyboards), Alex Malheiros (bass, guitars), and Ivan Conti (drums, percussion). They had a major hit with "Jazz Carnival" around 1980 or 1981 and released a string of albums on the Milestone label in the 1980s. From the early 1990's to date, they released albums on the London-based Far Out Recordings label, whilst remaining based in Brazil, and continue to tour in Europe.
