That's a tough one. Unfortunately, I don't really have a favorite, but there are several albums that I could listen to on repeat. For the sake of the raffle I don't want to be part of, I'm going with the latest 2017 release from Azymuth, titled "Fênix".
Azymuth is a Brazilian jazz-funk trio from Rio de Janeiro. They've been around since the mid-1970s and their one of those bands that just gets better with time. Although the samba influence is subtle on this album compared to their previous work, you can still hear a bit of it on every track, which adds to the groove of the songs.
Actually, I have one issue with this album or any Azymuth album for that matter. Every time I listen for samples to chop, I stop making music. Instead, I just sit back and can't help but to listen and enjoy good music --the smooth jazzy keys and synths, the funky bass, the fly electric guitar, the seamless blending of the drums and percussions, sprinkled with complementary backing vocals. This album manages to transport me to another dimension.
Man, just listen to it!!
Damnit! Now I have to listen to the whole album again.
Those are the best ones man! The ones that make you forget any ideas you may have had except utter enjoyment. I'm going to peep that one in the morning when I can set aside the whole hour for it :)
So @Scuzzy, you're the winner, if you want the record. If you decline the prize, I'll pick a runner up.
Awesome! Thank you.
I, @scuzzy, decline this generous gift.
