Live in Berkeley, recorded in 1990 in Berkeley, California is a robust and stimulating performance given by Airto Moreira on drums and percussion; Flora Purim on vocals; bassist, Gary Brown; pianist, keyboardist, Helio Alves and tenor and soprano saxophonist, Widor Santiago. The recording was originally made in 1990 in Berkeley, California by San Francisco radio personality, Bud Spangler – himself, a well known jazz musician. Interestingly enough, the recording was then tucked away, not to be heard again for over twenty years. The recent rediscovery of this exquisite, majestic evening is now available for us to enjoy for eternity in these seven carefully selected tracks by Airto and Flora, working closely with mixing engineer, Lynne Earls. Today, their music is still alive, fresh and filled with love.
