Album Notes & Community Reviews

Yielding the massive international club hit "Jazz Carnival", 'Light as a Feather' masterfully refines the trio's signature "samba doido" style. The album's fluid integration of driving Brazilian percussion and warm electric keyboards established Azymuth as a premier force in global jazz-funk.
