Airto

Airto Moreira's seminal fusion album Natural Feelings was the drummer-percussionist's first musical statement as a bandleader and was released between gigs with Miles Davis (on Bitches Brew) and Weather Report (appearing on their first album).  Natural Feelings marries two musical cultures and idioms: the New York jazz world and his Brazilian roots.  Among the luminaries who contribute to the proceedings are Ron Carter on bass, famed multi-instrumentalist Sivuca on guitar, versatile vocalist Flora Purim (who is married to Airto), and keyboardist Hermeto Pascoal.  The jazz-funk-world music blend is as fresh as it was when it was first released.  This 180-gram black vinyl retains the original Hieronymus Bosch album art and is strictly limited to 500 copies.
