Combining funk, soul and jazz with Samba, Azymuth are responsible for creating a sound and genre of their own that they named 'Samba Doido (Crazy Samba)'. They have produced over 20 albums in three decades together including a UK No. Top 20 hit ('Jazz Carnival').
'Pure' features the best of Azymuth's music for Far Out Recordings from 1995-2006. All newly re-mastered, 'Pure' features 11 tracks from their first four albums for the label - all currently unavailable - plus an exclusive new track "Morning", and a bonus CD of deleted remixes, plus another new exclusive track.
Azymuth have recorded six studio albums for Far Out Recordings and the majority of the tracks on 'Pure' come from the first four: 'Carnival' (1996), 'Woodland Warrior' (1998), 'Pieces of Ipanema' (1999) and 'Before we Forget' (2000).
'Pure' is an essential purchase for all Azymuth fans, as well as a great introduction for newcomers and those who will be familiar with the band from their releases on Far Out. The Bonus Remix CD is sure to appeal to those into more electronic and 'remix' culture.
"Fans will rejoice anew at evergreen tracks like 'Tudo Que Podia Ser', 'O Lance', 'Quern Com Quern' and 'Carnical"
