Performer Notes

Personnel: Flora Purim (vocals), Raul De Souza (trombone), George Duke (piano, keyboards), Earl Klugh (acoustic guitar), Carlos Santana (electric guitar), Miroslav Vitous, Ron Carter (bass), Airto Moreira (drums, percussion), King Errisson (percussion).
Recorded in May and July, 1974. Originally released on Milestone (9058).
Though her recordings for Chick Corea's Return to Forever provide a better introduction to her vocal talents, Stories to Tell is an excellent outing by Flora Purim and friends. Assisted by a cast of jazz/fusion all-stars led by husband Airto Moreira, Purim shows off the wide range of her abilities: from wordless vocal soaring to songs with lyrics in English and Portuguese, from uptempo percussion-driven workouts to beautiful ballads. In addition to Airto, the assembled cast includes bassists Miroslav Vitous and Ron Carter, keyboard wunderkind George Duke, guitarists Earl Klugh and Oscar Castro-Neves, and trombonist Raul de Souza. Also, Carlos Santana turns in one of his patented sizzling guitar solos on "Silver Sword." With material from Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vitous, Milton Nascimento, McCoy Tyner, and Purim herself, this is an album worth savoring. ~ Jim Newsom
