Notes:

"Peasant Dance", "Lydian Riff" and "I Don't Have To Do ..." recorded at Electric Lady Studios, February, 1974.
Stanley's Tune, Musikana, Virgin Land and Hot Sand recorded at Wally Heider Recording, February, 1974.

An all-star cast accompanies Brazilian percussion master Airto Moreira on this percolating collection of jazz fusion pieces. Produced by drummer extraordinaire Billy Cobham, the album locks into a steamy groove on Stanley Clarke's "Stanley's Tune" and never lets up. The Middle Eastern flavor of some of the melodies, Moreira and wife Flora Purim's unique vocalizations, and the use of unusual instrumentation on several cuts help make this recording a unique highlight of the electric fusion era. Standout soloists include Eddie Daniels on clarinet and guitarists David Amaro and Gabriel DeLorme, while bassist Clarke provides his usual stellar performance. ~ Jim Newsom.
