NEW
ALBUM FROM AZUL "MOTION:PICTURES" OUT NOW
"MOTION:PICTURES"
is the follow-up album to AZUL's eponymously titled debut release.
The line-up has been augmented by saxophonist Guto Lucena, and guitarist
John Parricelli who join founder members Walmir Gil, (trumpet &
flugelhorn), Charlie Wood (Hammond B3 & pianos), Webster Santos
(guitar) and Chris Wells (drums & percussion) on an eclectic
selection of tracks that draw on their collective wealth of experience
in jazz, blues and World music fields. These tracks were conceived
with film applications in mind, hence the title, and this approach
is reflected in their diversity, from the understated cool sound
of the muted trumpet and tenor sax in "Storybook" to the
funk influenced "Indigo", via the Brazilian rhythms of
"What Lies Ahead". "MOTION:PICTURES" is now
available direct from the Moophonix store
