"Live in Berkeley, recorded in 1990 in Berkeley, California is a robust and stimulating performance given by Airto Moreira on drums and percussion; Flora Purim on vocals; bassist, Gary Brown; pianist, keyboardist, Helio Alves and tenor and soprano saxophonist, Widor Santiago... [The performance was captured by] San Francisco radio personality, Bud Spangler - himself, a well known jazz musician, but was tucked away, not to be heard again for over twenty years. The recent rediscovery of this exquisite, majestic evening is now available for us to enjoy in these seven carefully selected tracks by Airto and Flora...
Today, their music is still alive, fresh and filled with love.
For almost five decades, husband and wife duo, Airto Moreira and Flora Purim, have touched the hearts of millions with their love, deep spirituality, brilliant electric vocal ambiance and colorful, highly imaginative rhythmic percussive accents. Originating from an elite class of artists notably Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Stanley Clarke, they helped facilitate the Jazz Fusion movement."
