Limited blue colored vinyl LP pressing. Following on from their seminal Light As A Feather LP, Outubro (October) was originally released in 1980 and began Azymuth's run of prolific output for Milestone Records throughout the decade. Typifying the consummate craftsmanship of the three members' performances - each with such distinct personality and together so perfectly balanced - their perfectionist attitude to sound is maintained across the production on the album, beautifully colouring the expressionist fusion of samba rhythm, jazz progression, funk attitude and psychedelic electronics. The album hosts a wonderful mix of tempos and styles, from Alex Malheiros' earth-shaking slap-bass on 'Dear Limmertz', which was to become a hit on London's underground disco and jazz-dance club scenes alike, to the late maestro Jose Roberto Bertrami's genial melodic Rhodes excursions on the vocoder laden, samba-jazz masterpiece 'Un Amigo', while Ivan 'Mamao' Conti's signature swing on 'Maracana' exemplifies the root of Azymuth's 'samba doido' (crazy samba) philosophy.

"Outubro" is a landmark LP by the legendary Brazilian jazz-funk trio Azymuth, released on Far Out Recordings. Originally recorded in 1980, this album showcases the band's signature blend of samba, funk, and jazz fusion?an innovative sound that has influenced generations of musicians worldwide. "Outubro" features lush arrangements and infectious grooves across tracks like "Dear Limmertz," "Un Amigo," and the title track itself. The record captures both the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro's music scene and Azymuth?s unique ability to fuse traditional Brazilian rhythms with contemporary electronic textures. Far Out Recordings is renowned for its dedication to bringing classic and modern Brazilian music to global audiences, curating high-quality reissues as well as new projects from iconic artists. Azymuth are pioneers in their field: formed in the early 1970s by José Roberto Bertrami (keyboards), Alex Malheiros (bass), and Ivan Conti (drums). Their groundbreaking albums have earned them international acclaim; hits like ?Jazz Carnival? became club anthems around the world. Over decades, they?ve collaborated with legends such as Marcos Valle and Airto Moreira while maintaining a distinctive sound rooted in Brazil?s musical heritage.
