5.0 out of 5 stars "native Brazilians shine...outstanding '80s latin jazz", July 18, 2001

Would consider Flora Purim a hypnotic vocalist...who like Ella and Sarah have that individual style...her unique approach to a song aluminates in a class by herself...this 2-CD-release is a milestone of adventureous times for Flora and her husband, percussionist Airto Moreria...earthy arrangements by Marcos Silva are haunting and wistful with blends of dreamscape...remember her "Butterfly Dreams", "500 Miles High" and "Encounter" recordings from the '70s...Concord once again offers a must have for the true collector...has classic "Latin jazz" written all over it!

Total Time: Disc One 38:40 on 9 Tracks & Disc Two 42:17 on 10 Tracks ~ Concord CCD2-4973-2 ~ (2001)

This is a repackaging of two classic (and hard to find) earlier "albums" by Flora and Airto: 1986's "The Magicians" and 1989's "The Sun Is Out." Both of these titles are excellent, especially as a "twofer" deal.
