AMG about the artist
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. ù Alex Henderson
AMG about the album:
Though her recordings for Chick Corea's Return to Forever provide a
better introduction to her vocal talents, Stories to Tell is an
excellent outing by Flora Purim and friends. Assisted by a cast of
jazz/fusion all-stars led by husband Airto Moreira, Purim shows off
the wide range of her abilities: from wordless vocal soaring to songs
with lyrics in English and Portuguese, from uptempo percussion-driven
workouts to beautiful ballads. In addition to Airto, the assembled
cast includes bassists Miroslav Vitous and Ron Carter, keyboard
wunderkind George Duke, guitarists Earl Klugh and Oscar Castro Neves,
and trombonist Raul de Souza. Also, Carlos Santana turns in one of
his patented sizzling guitar solos on "Silver Sword." With material
from Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vitous, Milton Nascimento, McCoy Tyner,
and Purim herself, this is an album worth savoring. ù Jim Newsom
