MARCOS VALLE & AZYMUTH (“Brazil by Music”) - FLY CRUZEIRO [used]

This is the 2020 public release version of the legendary promotional LP that was distributed in 1972 by the Brazilian airline Cruzeiro in a limited run of 500 copies to its customers.

The track was produced by Marcos Valle, who was at the height of his career at the time, and the extraordinary trio Azymuth, who were about to make their debut. While maintaining the easy-listening feel typical of airline novelty music, the track boldly incorporates cutting-edge grooves, creating an image of cool, futuristic air travel.
The floating ensemble heard on this album is connected to the sound production of Marcos's masterpiece "Previsão Do Tempo" (Weather Forecast), released the following year in 1973, and miraculously synchronizes the image strategy of airlines in the jet-set era with the aggressive sound image that cutting-edge musicians presented to the world.
This is a valuable record that connects the missing link of Brazilian rare groove.
