With Killer Bees, Airto Moreira returns to his jazz roots to explore some freeform playing ideas with old friends (and fellow free-jazz icons) Chick Corea, Mark Egan, Herbie Hancock and Stanley Clarke.

"Peppered with subtle overdubs by vocalist Flora Purim, saxophonist Gary Meek, and guitarist Hiram Bullock, Killer Bees is a set of nine tracks characterized by the sense of spontaneity and adventurousness... if you enjoy listening to evolving and amorphous forms full of mercurially virtuosic content, then Killer Bees will make you yearn for more projects that recreate Moreira's free-jazz jams of yore".  John Vallier / AMG
