Azymuth – Marca Passo LP – Far Out
Review
Tonal treasures and “three-man orchestra” Azymuth mark fifty years of service to the progosphere with Marca Passo, largely a conduit through which to reflect on the of loss of their founding drummer Ivan “Mamao” Conti in 2023. Now with only bassist Alex Malheiros as the last surviving original member, and joined by longtime keyboardist Kiko Continentino and new drummer Renato Massa, the new record deepens Azymuth’s signature blend of samba, jazz-funk and 70s MPB studio textures. A rework of ‘Last Summer In Rio’ is an especial great, as it brings in Incognito’s Bluey as a nod to Bertrami, while ‘Samba Pro Mamao’ honours Conti.
