Jazzbo, song interpreter, auteur, bandleader. Two curios culled from Bob Azzam & His Orchestra’s 1968 New Sounds LP. Working in multiple genres, in multiple languages and in multiple styles, Azzam was nothing if not a truly capable chameleon. Below, his essential take on the Stones “The Last Time,” and the latin jazz leaning “Berimbau.”

I really enjoyed hearing “The Last Time” on Stuart Maconie’s Freakier Zone on BBC Radio 6 Music. Off to check out Bob Azzam now!
