Backgrounder: Os Tatuis, 1965

Jose Roberto Bertrami played keyboards for Azymuth, a much heralded Brazilian trio that formed in 1972. The band mixed samba, bossa nova, jazz, folk and rock. He also composed and arranged for Elis Regina, Mark Murphy, Joe Pass, Sarah Vaughan, Milton Nascimento, Airto, Flora Purim among others.

In 1965, Bertrami led a group on his first recording at age 19. The album was Os Tatuis, and the sextet featured Bertrami (piano), Vasconcelos (tenor saxophone), Ivo Mendes (trumpet), Aresky Aratto (organ), Cláudio Henrique Bertrami (bass) and Elizeu de Campos (drums).
