AMG about Airto:
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 Flora:
The most high-profile percussionist of the 1970s and still among the
most famous, Airto Moreira (often simply known by his first name)
helped make percussion an essential part of many modern jazz groups;
his tambourine solos can border on the amazing. Airto originally
studied guitar and piano before becoming a percussionist. He played
locally in Brazil, collected and studied over 120 different
percussion instruments, and in 1968 moved to the U.S. with his wife,
singer Flora Purim. Airto played with Miles Davis during part of
1969-1970, appearing on several records (most notably Live Evil). He
worked with Lee Morgan for a bit in 1971, was an original member of
Weather Report, and in 1972 was part of Chick Corea's initial version
of Return to Forever with Flora Purim; he and Corea also recorded the
classic Captain Marvel with Stan Getz. By 1973, Airto was famous
enough to have his own group, which was signed to CTI and appeared on
Purim's sessions. Since then, he has stayed busy, mostly co-leading
bands with his wife and recording as a leader for many labels,
including Buddah, CTI, Arista, Warner Bros., Caroline, Rykodisc, In &
Out, and B&W. Not all of his music as a leader would be called jazz,
but Airto remains a very impressive player. ù Scott Yanow
