José Roberto 'Ze' Bertrami (February 21, 1946 in Tatuí; July 7, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian musician (piano , keyboard), composer, arranger and bandleader in the field of bossa nova, fusion and smooth jazz.
Bertrami, who was best known as the leader of the band Azymuth, had classical piano training and was influenced by the jazz pianist Bill Evans. At the beginning of his career he played keyboards in Luiz Eça's band Tamba 4, who became an important mentor for him. In 1965 he released his first solo album and then worked with Flora Purim and Robertinho Silva before meeting the drummer #IvanConti, with whom he formed the band Azymuth in 1972; the third member was bassist #AlexMalheiros. The band recorded a number of successful albums for Milestone Records, such as Light As a Feather and Telecommunications; their biggest hit was the song Jazz Carnival. Bertrami left the group in 1988, but began working with them sporadically in the early 1990s. In the following years he worked as a composer and arranger for, amongst others, Brazilian rock bands such as R&B and Pop, with Chico Buarque, Toninho Horta, Eddie Palmieri, Marcos Valle, Jorge Ben Jor, Sarah Vaughan, Elis Regina, Mark Murphy, Joe Pass, Erasmo Carlos, Milton Nascimento, Airto and Flora Purim.
