Azymuth in concert
Concert highlights from Azymuth live at We Out Here festival plus a tribute to trumpeter, saxophonist and organist Joey DeFrancesco
Julian Joseph presents concert highlights from Brazilian jazz-funk legends Azymuth live at We Out Here festival. A key part of the golden age of jazz, soul and funk in the late 1970s and 80s, they have performed with everyone from Jorge Ben Jor to Milton Nascimento and Marcos Valle. They continue to build their legacy as one of Brazil’s most charismatic and well-loved jazz groups.
Also in the programme we pay homage to four-time Grammy nominee, master organist, trumpeter and saxophonist Joey DeFrancesco who sadly died on 25 August 2022. DeFrancesco was widely celebrated for his electric live performances and for helping to revive the popularity of the hammond organ in the late 1980s. He was beloved by many jazz enthusiasts and worked with greats such as Miles Davis, Roy Ayers, John McLaughlin and Jimmy Cobb to name a few. As well as working as a formidable sideman, he released thirty albums under his own name, most recently his 2021 album ‘More Music’. Julian celebrates Joey’s life as we listen back to an interview he recorded for J to Z in 2019 sharing his musical inspirations.
