It was my honor to know them personally as their son-in-law. Airto & I had great times. They both reside in Brazil now. I could bore you with stories, but won't. OK, one. They played at our wedding! Great times to be sure.
They were my in-laws & I have many stories. My favorite goes like this. Flora rarely cooked, so Airto & I would go to the market, purchase dinner fixings, take them home & lay them on the kitchen counter. Airto would then begin pulling pots & pans, one at a time, & play them like a drum or tamborine. If it didn't have a good sound, it would be put away & out came another until he found the one with sound. He would use that pot or pan to cook with. It always came out delicious. You can't make this stuff up. Today they are both in Brazil.
Recorded in 1985 at Paul Masson Vineyards in Madera, CA, featuring Flora Purim (vocals) Airto Moreira (drums, percussion), Larry Nass (guitar), Keith Jones (bass), Kei Akagi (keyboards), and Laudir D'Oliveira (percussion).
I grew up with Larry seeing him play guitar and I followed his footsteps. Awesome guitar player. Always puts the right notes in the right place. It was a Awesome listening to him play with these awesome musicians.
Blast from the past. I remember you from the 70's around Oxnard/Ventura. Seeing/hearing you (and Larry) convinced me to get my first ES-335. Great to see your comment on here. RIP Larry Nass 😒
Recorded live at Paul Masson Winery in Saratoga, California. 1985 Airto - drums, percussion, vocals Flora Purim - vocals Kei Akagi - piano, rhodes, oberheim ob-x Larry Nass - guitar Keith Jones - bass Laudir de Oliveira - percussion 0:00 Misturada 5:22 The road is hard, but we're going to make it 12:28 Nothing will be as it was 21:02 Tombo in 7/4
I saw Flora and Airto several times around the Bay Area of CA many times in the mid 70's through the mid 80's. The strangest venue I saw them play was at the Saddle Rack in San Jose, (I'm guessing between and including 1983 and 84). which was a country western club, usually packed with fans of the local country bands. This was during the peak of the whole Urban Cowboy thing that was happening at the time. I remember Flora even joked at it from the stage. Certainly not the "normal" atmosphere you'd associate with them. It was a great show of course and they went over very well. I wish there was a recording of that show somewhere.
I first encountered their Art around 1974...I remember Music performed with Chick Correa... George Duke...and Alphonso Johnson...This Is very Special...Some of the Best to Ever Do It...Sound of my Youth...Duke University Radio...back in the Day...Played this Progressive Jazz Music...Theirs a Mystical Feel for Me...Percussion...Funk and Virtuosity....I feel Blessed watching This...Thank You...
Me encanta, y a tengo 62.8 años y desde que tengo uso de razón siempre los he seguido, la primera vez que vino a Puerto Rico en el Teatro Tapia, inolvidable......
I saw them the first time around 1981 in San Diego, at a fancy hotel there. I saw them again at the Santa Barbara Bowl in 1985. It was before the big remodel, and they still had grass seating. The warm up band was Hiroshima.
Love it ,I’ve been listen to Flora since the late 70s.Thank heaven for TH-cam now I can see artist I know will never come to my area if they do decide to do a few gigs
I saw them around 1976 at "my fathers place" in Roslyn NY of all places. They were great, just great. I felt frustrated though, because it was the WRONG crowd - did not know how to "let go". And so neither could I. But they were still incredible. I would love to see them again.
I met your son at Lawai Dicken’s home in Lawai back in 2006. We were looking at seashell collections. Your son didn’t know I came from Detroit where my friends love your music.
Tive uma experiência parecida. A primeira vez que ouvi Flora e Airto foi em 1998. Por acaso estava dirigindo em São Francisco e sintonizei, sem querer, o rádio em uma estação que tinha um programa de Jazz/Fusion. Fiquei impressionado! Pena o Brasil não os conhecer.
Airto is a driving force. Those guys would get lost in their dreams without Airto gently kicking them on the arse. Unbeliavably good musicians by the way. Not just Flora. The istrumentalists are magis.
Just wanted to add my thanks for uploading this musical jem. I am a lifelong Flora Purim fan but, as you can imagine living in the UK, I have had very little chance to see her and Airto live. But I did have the privilege of catching them at Ronnie Scott's club in the 80's and treasure that memory. I'm also a guitarist and for years have followed and loved all the great sophisticated fusion guys such as Carlton and Ritenour, but must confess to never having heard of Larry Nass until discovering this video. What a beautiful and fiery player, he reminds me of Carlos Rios, another great, and I am so sad to hear of Larry's untimely passing at such a young age. Larry simply burns on this video demonstrating that perfect balance of technical mastery, jazz sophistication, and fiery emotion. Can anyone tell me if he was ever featured on any albums, either solo or as a sideman? Surely he should be regarded up there with the fusion greats based on this evidence! Respect too for the band and Kei in particular, who I had the privilege of seeing with Miles back in the day. Latin music is the rhythm of life - peace all.
Thanks for posting this. I remember having it on VHS back in the '80's. If my memory serves me right it was part of a series called 'Harvest Jazz' from a jazzfest at the Paul Masson Vinyards in California. My guess is around 1982. I see the personnel is given further in the comments. If anyone has anything else from this series it would be interesting to see the Sonny Rollins segment where he tried to jump off the stage, broke his leg, and continued playing!! Happy Jazzing folks.
Just makes me want to dance! It reminds me of that jazz club near Lincoln Park that was in the basement and they regularly played Brazilian jazz. I loved it!
The Harvest Jazz series was broadcast on the A&E network in the early-mid '80's. This episode really blew me away, as I had at the time got into the Light as a Feather album and it was so cool to see Airto and Flora perform. Beautiful and timeless music.
Larry Nass on guitar, Keith Jones on bass, Kai Akage on keyboards, and Laudir D'Oliveira on percussion -- My girl Flora & Airto too look like they have a new lease on life here... and they are on FIRE! Muito bem!
It is so interesting that in the jazz of Airto Moreira and Flora Purim all the sounds of Brazil are collected, Bahia and the Amazon can be traced. I love this creative union. Thanks everyone. Super guitarist!!! Muito bom, obrigada🎧🎤🎸
Jazz fans who lived in the Bay Area in the early 1980's remember this band . The shows they did in small clubs were impossible to over praise . Always about the music , no ego baloney .
Flora and Airto every year back then at the Baltimore Artscape for free. I have since paid hundreds, but most recently saw her in 2005 and 2007, in Wilmington and D.C. respectively, again for free. " Eye, Ear, Toe".....never gets old
Man, coming out of the vamp into the chord changes on the first tune that guitar solo was SMOKIN"!!!! Woot! Great video, I remember seeing this years ago and it's pretty awesome. Great band too.
Great band, never seen footage of Airto on the drum kit, thanks for sharing. Third tune is an English lyrics version of Milton Nascimento's classic 'Nada Será Como Antes', from his seminal 1972 album 'Clube da Esquina'.
Loving the pieces written in 7/8 and also how they slip a brief series of measures of 4, 4, 4 & 3 or simply 8 and 7 into the Samba Flora is singing. love Larry's guitar playing and keen awareness of the time signatures being used.
Thanks, I think I've rediscovered pianist Kei Akagi via this video post. Pretty sure I saw Kei's excellent playing, with Airto, at the now closed venue Concerts by the Sea (Redondo Beach, California). He really made an impression on me that evening.
Fico horrorizado com a mídia calhorda brasileira. Como uma cantora internacionalmente reconhecida como umas das grandes interpretes do Fusion Jazz é absolutamente esquecida pela imprensa cultural brasileira. Somente há uma semana soube da existência de Flora Purim. e mesmo assim de maneira acidental, em uma referencia de uma página de um Site falando do resumo da carreira de Claudya e nele cita cantoras injustiçadas pela imprensa tupiniquim. UM VERDADEIRO ABSURDO. Olhe que amo música e busco sempre coisa nova.
Rogério Lima boa parte da culpa por isso é da justiça norte-americana, que a poribiu de sair dos EUA por mais de 10 anos... O engraçado é q quando é um Zé Ninguém a condenação é deportar, quando é um artista famoso eles proibem a mina de sair do país...
it would be nice to know when this was. huge Airto fan here. i call billy Cobham the worlds greatest trap set drummer. Airto is the worlds greateste percussionist. The greatest Rhythmatist.
Larry Nass played melodic fusion guitar as well as any I've heard/sadly, I read that he passed away at only 47. And that has to be some of the most Techno scatting ever from Flora !!!###
Quantos brasileiros conhecem esta que é das nossas maiores cantoras - e mais únicas - de todos os tempos? Flora Purim... eleita a melhor cantora de jazz dos EUA pela revista de jazz DownBeat, entre 1974 e 1977. Neste video ele entra em cena aos 5 minutos ...e o mundo pára...ou a terra gira ao contrário? A MÚSICA DO AIRTO É PARA DEUS!
Very fascinating! 😍 I was brought here because the latest Jazz Dispensary series has a track by Flora Purim. I've never seen a singer use that dual microphone technique before (What the hell is she doing there? 🤔) But it actually makes a lot of sense! 😮💡 Each microphone could running through different effects processors. This would give Flora Purim amazing control over vocal effects just by movin each microphone closer and further away as she was singing. At one point it seemed like the silver microphone had a lot of reverb and echo... But the black microphone was more "clean" (meaning it had a lot less reverb and or other effects) 🤔 It would take a lot of practice to get it figured out, but her technique is pure genius! 😍👌 I'm super impressed by Flora Purim and the whole band! And I think I'm going to have to track down some of her records 🙏
One of my favorite Flora and Airto performances ever. Remember too...what awesome collaborators they were...Chick (RTF), Weayher Report, George Duke (Brazilian Love Affair. Someone please remind me the name of the opening song! I knew it once, and I’ve performed it with various bands. Just can’t remember the name.
Sounded like David A. I think whom played on the studio albums back then ? Saw Flora and Airto back in the 80's at San Diego State..Sweet voice and Airto was covering all Rhytms what a great concert...Thanks for the post ,great concert !
1983 After being Honorably Discharged from the U.S. Army, eye sojourned to Washington, D.C. to engage creatively my 2 Brothers from another Nubian Mother = James & Paul Sosebee. We 3 recorded played music/verse/beats that have since become lost via Yee old ancient tape players. But later dat Summer, not far from Walter Reed Army Medical Center & Howard University somewhere off Georgia Avenue, James Lee & Me Elbert Tavon witnessed Flora Purim & Airto Moreira LIVE in a concert at an outdoor amphitheater = Wow & Yeow *** Fast Forward to Friday Night November 14, 2014, Eye was at a Drum Circle at the South Suburban Dance Studio with BeAtz Master/Choreopgrapher Ruben Zapata *** Our hands/ears/hearts along with Ruben's cousin, next door neighbor, founder/owner of the Dance Studio, and several participants = We United with BeAtZ like these. After Da Rhythm/Beatz Fellowship Ruben drove me/mydrums/percussive toyz to the Howard Street Red Line L Transit Center in Skokie IL and in route Ruben's very smart phone became a World Beat DJ and played a samba from Airto's lp/cd FINGERS & THE MUSIC/BEATZ became compass of the drive to my connection to the Red Line L *** Have to Thank Chicago & Ruben for The Magic of Da BeAtZ *** But Most of All Thanks Airto & Flora for Your Incredible LIFE SONG OF LOVE ***
Yeah, Flora looks pretty happy - this was shortly after her release from prison for a narcotics (cocaine) possession in 1974. She spend 1.5 years at the FCI in L.A. But she did concerts on the inside (!) and one was even radio broadcast.
+7777Scion hello ! not really important but just to say that this is a bit later, a concert in 1982, live on Harvest jazz a festival in Canada.. The faces of the musicians , the instruments etc lead me to question the time ... anyway a great performance :)
7777Scion i saw many great Jazz bands this is one band i wish i would of seen Floras voice just incredible the band is so tight and solid been following Jazz since the 70s i saw return to forever in the eary 80s in philly super show $12.00 loved Flora when she sang with chick and return to forever on different albums!
I had the pleasure to play with them in 1982 with my suitcase of crazy percussion. It was a happening. Love these folks.
It must have been amazing
I wish I'd have had the honor to be there .
Nice. I was just thinking how much I wish I were there - maybe sitting on a blanket or a lawn chair - enjoying the fresh air, warmth and great music.
Honra...de ser brasileiro e ouvir Flora&Airton...!!!❤❤❤❤
Maravilha..Parabéns🎉🎉🎉
It was my honor to know them personally as their son-in-law. Airto & I had great times. They both reside in Brazil now. I could bore you with stories, but won't. OK, one. They played at our wedding! Great times to be sure.
Tóp...🎉
Does she offer mentorship
They were my in-laws & I have many stories. My favorite goes like this.
Flora rarely cooked, so Airto & I would go to the market, purchase dinner fixings, take them home & lay them on the kitchen counter. Airto would then begin pulling pots & pans, one at a time, & play them like a drum or tamborine. If it didn't have a good sound, it would be put away & out came another until he found the one with sound. He would use that pot or pan to cook with. It always came out delicious. You can't make this stuff up. Today they are both in Brazil.
Great story. Did he keep the ones whose sound he didn't like, or throw them away?
It's artistry !
Recorded in 1985 at Paul Masson Vineyards in Madera, CA, featuring Flora Purim (vocals) Airto Moreira (drums, percussion), Larry Nass (guitar), Keith Jones (bass), Kei Akagi (keyboards), and Laudir D'Oliveira (percussion).
Kei wore « short » hair back then !!! Fantastic gig, by the way !
This gig was in '81😂❤
@@robertcarli5803 Thanks
Thanks for listing the artists, year, and location!!!
I grew up with Larry seeing him play guitar and I followed his footsteps. Awesome guitar player. Always puts the right notes in the right place. It was a Awesome listening to him play with these awesome musicians.

Obrigado!!
Thank you @radio.m.i.x for showing respect to the musicians while even the poster of this video didn't do it. Respect for you my friend ♥
Thank you!

Airto's grooves are sublime.
Great band! Larry Nass on guitar, Keith Jones on bass, Kai Akage on keyboards, and Laudir D'Oliveira on percussion! YES!!! :-)
wow
do not forget Airto and Flora Purim! I remember watching this on Australian TV long ago and fell in love with Flora on this performance.
it's an 'ok' band - the great bands were the ones Airto/Flora used on their Seventies albums
AND...... her husband Airto on drums!
Thanks for the line up. Amazing stuff!
I first encountered their Art around 1974...I remember Music performed with Chick Correa...

One the greatest jazz fusion guitarists the United States ever produced. It's a fucking shame that he died so young at age 47.
@Grace Reyna, one of greatest? I wouldn’t go that far...
Flora has been an influence on my Latin Music understanding and playing since I was 17 in 1974. This is great RIP Larry Nass....
absolute life changing is how to describe when first discovering music of other worlds such as this
Welcome.
The two best musicians at their craft.....Flora, voice.....Airto, drums.
What a gift....thanks for publishing.
A Flora é de outro planeta cantora incomparável!
Miss her❤️
Flora and Airto are such amazing talents. Is it any wonder they get gifted musicians around them?!
Larry Nass awesome guitar player was leader of R&B Bombers and will never forget him giving newcomers like myself a break forever a Montalvo legend.
Me encanta, y a tengo 62.8 años y desde que tengo uso de razón siempre los he seguido, la primera vez que vino a Puerto Rico en el Teatro Tapia, inolvidable......
I remember this showing on UK TV, on a Sunday night, at midnight as part of the Harvest Jazz Festival. Hugely inspiring!
I saw them the first time around 1981 in San Diego, at a fancy hotel there. I saw them again at the Santa Barbara Bowl in 1985. It was before the big remodel, and they still had grass seating. The warm up band was Hiroshima.
Oh yes, Hiroshima. Used to see them at a tiny club near school, when I attended USC, '74 to '77.
Came home from the pub one night and found this concert on tv late night, amazing band.
Always for me favorite Airto Moreira and his wife Flora Purim , Brasil !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** i',m happy if you love it my favorite , thanks Thanasis ....
Love it ,I’ve been listen to Flora since the late 70s.Thank heaven for TH-cam now I can see artist I know will never come to my area if they do decide to do a few gigs

Airto, Flora e o grande Laudir de Oliveira, ex-membro do Chicago. Sensacional!

It is a pity!
Seen 'em live 3 times, been a fan since 1973!!!
Was just messin' around and I remember how much I love Flora Purim. I hit search and !!!
The Fender E Piano makes me feel somewhere, somehow...incredible
Being able to uplift is very special talent and floras band absolutely nailed it. Magnificent
Airto is a driving force. Those guys would get lost in their dreams without Airto gently kicking them on the arse. Unbeliavably good musicians by the way. Not just Flora. The istrumentalists are magis.

Linda, maravilhosa. Senhora de todas as canções.
Show maravilhoso do eterno Mestre Airto Moreira e da eterna Diva Flora Purim!!!
It is so interesting that in the jazz of Airto Moreira and Flora Purim all the sounds of Brazil are collected, Bahia and the Amazon can be traced. I love this creative union. Thanks everyone. Super guitarist!!! Muito bom, obrigada🎧🎤🎸
Airto is the best..
Orgulho de ter dois brasileiros como esses divulgando MUSICA de boa qualidade no mundo!!!!!!! Amo Flora Purim.......
I have been following flora since the early 70s incredible voice !
Great performance! Amazing solos over brazilian swinging rhythms and harmonies...
Airto Moreira forever...

I saw Flora and Airto in Milan in the mid80s. They were fantastic!!! I love you Flora❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tive a felicidade de ver os dois num show numa Virada Cultural em Sampa. O show foi inesquecível. Foi bem no Vale do Anhagabaú.
Jazz fans who lived in the Bay Area in the early 1980's remember this band . The shows they did in small clubs were impossible to over praise . Always about the music , no ego baloney .
graaaande Airto...maravilhosa Flora...
Along with Hermeto Pascoal, Airto is one of the greatest music magicians from Brazil.
I 1st found Airto in my parents record collection. I was literally jumping around my bedroom memorising riffs and magic
Amazing! Love them! Flora e Airto: vcs são demais! Queridosss! 💎💕💎🙏🏻🙏🏻
Flora and Airto every year back then at the Baltimore Artscape for free. I have since paid hundreds, but most recently saw her in 2005 and 2007, in Wilmington and D.C. respectively, again for free.
" Eye, Ear, Toe".....never gets old
Man, coming out of the vamp into the chord changes on the first tune that guitar solo was SMOKIN"!!!! Woot! Great video, I remember seeing this years ago and it's pretty awesome. Great band too.
Airto é foda!!!! Brasileiro incrível, músico fantástico!!!
I came across this by chance and watched from start to finish. Terrific stuff! Thank you for sharing this with us xx
Great music! Thanks for share it!
I saw them live - amazing, of course...
Oh my God! C'est magnifique,Flora is Great!! and The band Just Rock!!
Great band, never seen footage of Airto on the drum kit, thanks for sharing. Third tune is an English lyrics version of Milton Nascimento's classic 'Nada Será Como Antes', from his seminal 1972 album 'Clube da Esquina'.
Just amazing!!!
Maravilhosa ... Flora Purim fez a mais internacional das carreiras.
saw them live at Ronnie Scotts on her birthday..she sang like and angel that night. Unforgettable!
I saw them perform live in San Francisco in 1985. Consummate performers. I love their music. Thank you You Tube.
Loving the pieces written in 7/8 and also how they slip a brief series of measures of 4, 4, 4 & 3 or simply 8 and 7 into the Samba Flora is singing. love Larry's guitar playing and keen awareness of the time signatures being used.

sólo un poco de tiempo para escuchar toda esta hermosa música.
Wowww, Sambaaaaa, love this, thanks for sharing, I'm dancing yeahhh
Airto! Que maravilha!! Obrigado - X:)
Very tight ..A "Splendid" Virility!!!
Larry Ness a true great.. is new to me,also.
FANTÁSTICO! INACREDITÁVEL!
WOOW that 2 mic trick is insane !! how to be your own mixing engineer !!
Que coisa beleza, eu estava procurando isso por alguns meses, adoro a música deles. Muitíssimo obrigado!
Fico horrorizado com a mídia calhorda brasileira. Como uma cantora internacionalmente reconhecida como umas das grandes interpretes do Fusion Jazz é absolutamente esquecida pela imprensa cultural brasileira.
Somente há uma semana soube da existência de Flora Purim. e mesmo assim de maneira acidental, em uma referencia de uma página de um Site falando do resumo da carreira de Claudya e nele cita cantoras injustiçadas pela imprensa tupiniquim.

Rogério Lima Conozco a Flora y Airto hace unos 40 años.Soy Colombiano
Rogério Lima Flora era muito popular na Itália nos anos 80, um grande artista ... Eu tenho seu LP...
Rogério Lima boa parte da culpa por isso é da justiça norte-americana, que a poribiu de sair dos EUA por mais de 10 anos... O engraçado é q quando é um Zé Ninguém a condenação é deportar, quando é um artista famoso eles proibem a mina de sair do país...
Rogério Lima culpe a si mesmo, meu caro.
Disse tudo!
it would be nice to know when this was. huge Airto fan here. i call billy Cobham the worlds greatest trap set drummer. Airto is the worlds greateste percussionist. The greatest Rhythmatist.
👍!!
Recalling a Pearl Street visit in the mid 70s in Boulder, Colorado. It doesn't get any better than an Airto y Flora combo....
Larry Nass played melodic fusion guitar as well as any I've heard/sadly, I read that he passed away at only 47. And that has to be some of the most Techno scatting ever from Flora !!!###
What a lost talent, on this showing he was up there with Carlton, Ford, Ritenour, Rios, etc.
They are so awesome live!
Quantos brasileiros conhecem esta que é das nossas maiores cantoras - e mais únicas - de todos os tempos?
Flora Purim... eleita a melhor cantora de jazz dos EUA pela revista de jazz DownBeat, entre 1974 e 1977.
Neste video ele entra em cena aos 5 minutos ...e o mundo pára...ou a terra gira ao contrário?
A MÚSICA DO AIRTO É PARA DEUS!
Vim conhecer estes artistas maravilhosos hoje 1 de outubro de 2020 por sugestão do TH-cam, antes disto, nunca tinha ouvido nem falar.
Fantastic! What a great band!
Very fascinating! 😍

Wow! More of this, please!
Já tava foda até que me arrepiei toda nesses 20 minutos em diante quando metem o sambão fritação aaaaffff coisa maravilhosa essa apresentação 😱😲😍🖤
One of my favorite Flora and Airto performances ever. Remember too...what awesome collaborators they were...Chick (RTF), Weayher Report, George Duke (Brazilian Love Affair.
Someone please remind me the name of the opening song! I knew it once, and I’ve performed it with various bands. Just can’t remember the name.
The road is hard, but we are going to make it
Rogerio Lima: nunca se arrependa por não ter lido o JORNAL do dia !!!
I miss a live moment like this !!
Pura excelencia brasileira
Larry Nass guitar R.I.P.
Wow! Thank you so much. I love Flora and the entire band.
Sounded like David A. I think whom played on the studio albums back then ? Saw Flora and Airto back in the 80's at San Diego State..Sweet voice and Airto was covering all Rhytms what a great concert...Thanks for the post ,great concert !

But later dat Summer, not far from Walter Reed Army Medical Center & Howard University somewhere off Georgia Avenue, James Lee & Me Elbert Tavon witnessed Flora Purim & Airto Moreira LIVE in a concert at an outdoor amphitheater = Wow & Yeow *** Fast Forward to Friday Night November 14, 2014, Eye was at a Drum Circle at the South Suburban Dance Studio with BeAtz Master/Choreopgrapher Ruben Zapata *** Our hands/ears/hearts along with Ruben's cousin, next door neighbor, founder/owner of the Dance Studio, and several participants = We United with BeAtZ like these. After Da Rhythm/Beatz Fellowship Ruben drove me/mydrums/percussive toyz to the Howard Street Red Line L Transit Center in Skokie IL and in route Ruben's very smart phone became a World Beat DJ and played a samba from Airto's lp/cd FINGERS & THE MUSIC/BEATZ became compass of the drive to my connection to the Red Line L *** Have to Thank Chicago & Ruben for The Magic of Da BeAtZ *** But Most of All Thanks Airto & Flora for Your Incredible LIFE SONG OF LOVE ***
Aside from Flora's great ear and vocal talent, she is also a percussionist in her own right, perfectly holding down her parts on the agogo bells.
Whoever uploaded this-take a bow.
Yeah, Flora looks pretty happy - this was shortly after her release from prison for a narcotics (cocaine) possession in 1974. She spend 1.5 years at the FCI in L.A. But she did concerts on the inside (!) and one was even radio broadcast.
