CD

✈
A wonderful live date from the team of Flora Purim and Airto Moreira – recorded at a time when Flora was working more in an R&B style on records, but done in a soaring, jazzy vibe that's like the duo's best work from earlier in the 70s! Tracks are long, and this beautiful blend of Brazilian rhythms and jazz – as Flora's voice soars out over the top of grooves that blend together keyboards from Milcho Leviev, trombone from Raul De Souza, and loads of percussion from Airto and a few other musicians! Purim's voice has this crackle at times – almost more of an edge than on polished studio efforts – and the music here is the sort that she and Airto brought to a generation, and still continue to influence all these many years later. Titles include "Tombo In 7/4", "Sometime Ago", "Open Your Eyes You Can Fly", "500 Miles High", "From The Lonely Afternoon", and a long solo from Airto!  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
