The unique Azymuth sound was now born: a mix of electronic music, samba, funk, and jazz that they defined as MPB-jazz (MPB stands for Musica Popular Brasileira). Over the decades Azymuth released extremely successful albums (selling millions of copies) on labels such as Polydor, Som Livre and Atlantic. Hitting the charts on multiple occasions, Azymuth played at the Monterrey and Montreux jazz festivals and at venues around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band has worked with legendary musicians from Joe Henderson to Stevie Wonder and they’ve also been remixed\/sampled by artists such as Flying Lotus, will.i.am, MF DOOM and Peanut Butter Wolf. Their unique brand of fusion-music has influenced three generations of musicians, DJs, and producers. Music journalists across the spectrum from mainstream to underground, celebrated these raw yet wildly imaginative and musically accomplished tracks that were a revelation of jazz, funk, and disco, with some even stating that the roots of EDM were on display in their early recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the album we are presenting you (Brazil by Music - Fly Cruzeiro), the listener is getting yet another fantastic early Valle\/Azymuth collaboration. Released in 1972, this rare album was pressed and gifted to customers of the ‘Cruzeiro’ airline company. This promotional record came as no surprise because the connection between Cruzeiro Airlines and Valle was very tight (Valle’s father was the manager and his brother was a co-pilot there).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext to the Valle\/Azymuth material present, other songs include some of the all-time best Brazilian standards originally written by renowned artists such as Jorge Ben \u0026amp; Antonio Carlos Jobim. Take a flight with us through this fantastic album and into some of the best Jazz, Funk \u0026amp; Bossa Nova the Brazilian musical landscape has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTidal Waves Music now proudly presents the first ever vinyl reissue of ‘Fly Cruzeiro’ since its release in 1972 (only 500 copies were pressed upon its original release in 1972). This official reissue is now available as a deluxe 180g TANGERINE COLORED vinyl edition (limited to 500 copies) packaged in a gatefold jacket and also comes with an insert containing rare pictures and liner notes courtesy of Marcos Valle himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJingle Cruzeiro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEsta Fazendo Um Ano - Aquarela Do Brasil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZazueira - Mas Que Nada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTristeza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaís Do Futebol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAté Pensei\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZanzibar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNão Tem Solução - Marina - Rosas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamba De Verão\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrenda Minha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsa Branca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4jfq5943CKv3OUPG5Ri9J5?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Marcos Valle \u0026 Azymuth","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Orange","offer_id":42387640516799,"sku":"TWM44-OR","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/TWMDIG44A.jpg?v=1686991261"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-marcos-valle-azymuth.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
