Azymuth – Flame
🔥 Brazilian Jazz Countdown: 'Flame' by Azymuth – A Rare Japanese Gem 🔥
As we continue our countdown toward the much-anticipated early morning with Hermeto Pascoal—Tuesday at 7:00 AM sharp—today we’re turning up the heat with a true vinyl treasure: 'Flame' by Azymuth, showcased here in its stunning Japanese pressing, complete with obi strip and insert.
Released in 1984, Flame captures Azymuth at their jazz-funk peak—sophisticated, soulful, and sonically rich. But what makes this album glow even brighter is the presence of two Brazilian legends who bring extra layers of brilliance.
✨ Flora Purim appears on the track 'The Textile Factory' (Fábrica De Tecidos), co-written with bassist Alex Malheiros. Her voice floats effortlessly over the rhythmic architecture, transforming the track into something otherworldly and hypnotic.
🎺 On the title track 'Flame', Marcio Montarroyos steps in on trumpet and absolutely shines. His phrasing, tone, and lyrical touch elevate the composition into a truly cinematic experience. And speaking of Marcio—if you know his powerful collaboration on the album 'Marcio Montarroyos / Stone Alliance', you already understand the depth he brings. That self-titled record, which I also happen to own in a Japanese edition, is a serious jazz-fusion heavyweight—raw, spiritual, and electric.
So whether you’re discovering Flame for the first time or returning to it with fresh ears, let it guide you further into the soul of Brazilian fusion. More treasures to come as we keep the groove going right up to Hermeto’s sunrise set.
🌞 See you tomorrow for the next chapter in the countdown.
