Brazilian singer Flora Purim and her husband, the drummer / percussionist Airto Moreira, dominated magazine jazz polls in the 1970s. This superb live set was recorded for broadcast on WBUR-FM at the first Playboy Jazz Festival, held at the Hollywood Bowl, and also features percussionists Laudir de Oliveira (from Chicago) and Bayanu (from Caldera), Raul de Souza (trombone), Milcho Leviev (keyboards) and Keith Jones (bass). Joyous and infectious, it’s presented here together with background notes and images.
