As one of Brazil's most influential bassists and one third of Azymuth, Alex Malheiros has pioneered a one of a kind fusion of space-funk, samba and jazz since the early seventies. His playing can be heard on the records of Jorge Ben, Milton Nascimento, Roberto Carlos, Marcos Valle and Mark Murphy (to name a few), and he’s performed and toured with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Chick Corea. For the Far out takeover, Alex Malheiros has selected some of his favourite music from Brazil, including legendary artists from the 60s and 70s, bossa and samba jazz groups, and some of his friends and collaborators from over the years.
