The passionate and dramatic Brazilian singer is involved here in encounters with leading musicians from her native land and the United States. They include Hermeto Pascoal, a primal force in Brazilian music; Purim's husband Airto Moreira, a one-man percussion army; Joe Henderson, in 1976 as now a tenor saxophonist of stunning originality; pianist McCoy Tyner and bassist Ron Carter, mainstays of modern jazz. The repertoire reflects the best of both worlds, with memorable performances of Chick Corea's "Windows" and Henderson's "Black Narcissus", now established classics.
This was one of Flora Purim's finest all-around jazz recordings, and it is luckily available on CD. Purim is featured in a variety of challenging and stimulating settings: on two numbers ("Above the Rainbow" and "Tomara") with pianist McCoy Tyner; teamed up with tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson on Chick Corea's "Windows" and "Black Narcissus"; and utilizing such players as bass trombonist Raul DeSouza, keyboardists Hermeto Pascoal and George Duke, and singer Urszula Dudziak (who is heard on "Encounter") plus Flora's husband, percussionist Airto. The music is primarily group originals and finds Flora Purim in peak form. Highly recommended.

Flora Purim
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Mar 06, 1942 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Genre: Latin
Styles: Fusion, Latin Jazz, Brazilian Jazz, Vocal Jazz
Influenced by both traditional Brazilian singers and the improvisations of American jazz divas like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, Flora Purim was one of the most adventurous singers of the 1970s. After meeting and marrying her husband, percussionist Airto Moreira, in their native Brazil, Purim moved with him to the U.S. in the late '60s. Though she worked with Stan Getz and pianist Duke Pearson before the decade ended, it wasn't until joining Chick Corea, Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, and Moreira in the original Return to Forever in 1972 that she became well known in the States. Purim showed considerable promise on Forever classics like "500 Miles High" and "Light As a Feather" and lived up to it when she went solo with 1973's Butterfly Dreams. Ranging from superb to passably decent, Purim's Milestone dates of the mid- to late '70s kept her quite visible in the jazz world. Purim's work grew erratic and uneven in the 1980s, and she wasn't recording as often (though she did provide one album for Virgin and three with Moreira for Concord's Crossover label). Purim didn't record very often in the early to mid-'90s either, but she continued to be highly regarded in Brazilian jazz circles.
