Azymuth is a Brazilian jazz-funk trio formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1973 by bassist Alex Malheiros, keyboardist José Roberto Bertrami and drummer Ivan “Mamão” Conti. They coined their signature blend of samba, jazz and funk “samba doido” (literally “crazy samba”). Internationally acclaimed, their 1979 track “Jazz Carnival” achieved major recognition in the UK, and over decades they have influenced generations of jazz, funk and electronic artists.
