If You Will [Clear Vinyl] (LP)
Flora Purim
Amoeba Review
Brazilian jazz legend Flora Purim has released her first new album in 15 years and it’s a vibrant set of jazz-fusion that will lift your spirits. If You Will includes new songs and reworked favorites, and Purim is joined on vocals by her daughter Diana Purim on the breezy title track, among others. “This Is me” offers busy percussion, a toe-tapping groove, and an effervescent chorus. “A Flor Da Vida” is a smooth, exhilarating track that feels like opening the window to greet the sun. This is a fresh-sounding, lovely new album from the 80-year-old star.
