Far from this being a quick cash-in, ‘Demos (1973-75) Volumes 1 & 2’ is a quality expansion of Azymuth’s sparse early discography.

Victor Assis Brasil left behind several quality works to explore but his Jobim tribute ‘Toca Antonio Carlos Jobim’ now reissued is a fine place to start on that journey.

Like the mythical phoenix bird that rises from the ashes, Azymuth has rebounded from a devastating blow. On ‘Fênix’, José Roberto Bertrami’s spirit lives on strong.
