Tom Schnabel's Rhythm Planet

Flora Purim and Airto Moreira

Flora Purim and Airto Moreira, helped re-ignite America's love of Brazilian music with their inspired Brazilian jazz music way back in the 70's. Their work with Chick Corea and others is still fondly remembered and embraced today, and is being rediscovered and remixed on dance floors around the world. Together with Tom they'll talk about and showcase Flora's new cd PERPETUAL EMOTION, a strong new jazz album and her best in years. Flora Purim and Airto are Tom's guests at 1 p.m.
