国籍：巴西 职业：歌手、音乐家 生日：1942年3月6日 简介：Influenced by both traditional Brazilian singers and the improvisations of American jazz divas like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, Flora Purim was one of the most adventurous singers of the 1970s. After meeting and marrying her husband, percussionist Airto Moreira, in their native Brazil, Purim moved with him to the U.S. in the late 60s. Though she worked with Stan Getz and pianist Duke Pearson before the decade ended, it wasnt until joining Chick Corea, Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, and Moreira in the original Return to Forever in 1972 that she became well known in the States. Purim showed considerable promise on Forever classics like 500 Miles High and Light As a Feather and lived up to it when she went solo with 1973s Butterfly Dreams. Ranging from superb to passably decent, Purims Milestone dates of the mid- to late 70s kept her quite visible in the jazz world. Purims work grew erratic and uneven in the 1980s, and she wasnt recording as often (though she did provide one album for Virgin and three with Moreira for Concords Crossover label). Purim didnt record very often in the early to mid-90s either, but she continued to be highly regarded in Brazilian jazz circles. 从艺历程：普里姆是巴西爵士歌手，20世纪60年代初开始职业生涯，录制了波萨诺瓦风格的歌曲。她后来成为新四重奏乐队主唱，并将爵士乐与抗议歌曲结合，反抗巴西专制政府。1967年，普里姆和丈夫艾尔托·莫雷拉移居纽约，沉浸于电爵士乐，并与多位知名音乐家合作。她发行了多张个人专辑，广受好评，并被选为五大爵士歌手之一。普里姆还与Dizzy Gillespie的联合国管弦乐团和Mickey Hart合作巡演，发行了自己的专辑，并参与了多个项目，如组建“Fourth World”乐队和慈善专辑的制作。她的声音跨越六个八度，演唱风格受到多位音乐家的影响。近几十年来，她一直将Miles Davis和Gil Evans的《Miles Ahead》以及Jeff Beck的《Blow by Blow》放在床边陪伴自己。
