Flora Purim - Butterfly Dreams (1973) {2007 Milestone} [Keepnews Collection Complete Series]
Jazz / Latin Jazz / Fusion / Vocal Jazz
| Remastered in
24-bit from the original master tapes. Part of our Keepnews Collection,
which spotlights classic albums originally produced by the legendary
Orrin Keepnews. The 1974 release of this album on the Fantasy group's
Milestone label created an instant impact and launched one of the most
exciting and tempestuous vocalists of the decade. Flora Purim and her
husband, the brilliant percussionist Airto Moreira, had been part of
Chick Corea's "Return to Forever" band, and Airto had gained much
attention with Miles Davis, but this record combined their Brazilian
rhythms for the first time with the "fusion" jazz of players like George
Duke and Stanley Clarke. The result was a high-energy music of enormous
appeal. |
