	Moreira draws on spiritism as muse By CHARLES LEVIN SENTINEL MUSIC CORRESPONDENT On Airto Moreira’s latest CD, “Life ...
		Moreira, among the elite players who are instantly recognizable by a first name (Airto, which sounds like "eye, ear, toe"), first resisted the new music.
		Moreira turned pro at 13 and moved to Sao Paulo three years later, engaging nightclub and television audiences with his adroit skills as a vocalist, percussionist and drummer.
		Moreira said his ability to tap into such energy derives from his belief in "spiritism," a centuries-old faith codified in the late 19th century.

	Airto Moreira : The Best of Airto - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Without a doubt, Airto put a new face on Brazilian music in the wake of the bossa nova movement, bringing back the frantic complexity of the samba translated into his own frenzied yet controlled electronic/multi-percussion idiom.
		Here we truly have some of the best of his early work in the U.S. as a leader for the CTI label, where Airto proves that he couldn't be suppressed even by the guiding hand of Creed Taylor.
		Finally, we hear the two Airto tracks from the old jerry-built Deodato/Airto In Concert LP in vastly superior sound, with Airto and Flora Purim whipping up the crowd at New York's Felt Forum with a primal display of wild native vocals and pushing rhythm.

		Moreira is very pleased with the result, because "it's done in a way that you don't know what is electronic and what's played," slyly adding, "a lot of young people are sampling and looping my sounds, so I thought I'd give them something new to think about."
		Now 59, Moreira was born in the southern Brazilian town of Itaipolis, and began drumming while still a toddler.
		The idea of crossing boundaries, geographical and musical, is hardly new to Moreira; he's always been a musical polyglot, a trait which, according to McGowan, might have reached a high point on "his collaborations with Mickey Hart and Zakir Hussein on the Planet Drum albums.

	Latin Jazz Club - Airto Moreira
		Moreira continues to rattle the human senses with the next track "Come As you Are" featuring percussionists Amèn Santos and Pablo Silva.
		Airto's musical experience continues moving forward with the upbeat contemporary rumba feel tune titled "Wake Up Now" with bassist Gary Brown and guitarist Jose Neto maintaining a steady groove behind a mountain of percussion instruments and vocals.
		Moreira then incorporates some Pop and Funk elements sounding like a hip-hop groove on "Ginga Sem Fronteira." Voice inflections add to the full force of Moreira's massive percussive machine on the final track "The Last One" where perhaps the final battle of the drum warlords is waged between Moreira and Silva.

		Through the latter, Moreira met and played with such stars as Cannonball Adderley, Lee Morgan, Paul Desmond and Joe Zawinul, the last-named recommending the percussionist to Miles Davis in 1970, resulting in his appearing on Bitches Brew, Live/Evil and On the Corner, among other recordings.
		Moreira and Purim’s first venture together as leaders, however, was Fingers, formed in 1974, and since then they have carved out a special niche for themselves with their unique mixture of jazz, Brazilian music and fusion, frequently under the rubric Fourth World, a band featuring Club favourite, guitarist José Neto, and saxophonist Gary Meek.

		The 1970s were banner years for Airto Moreira [+]--not only because of his association with Chick Corea [+]'s Return to Forever [+] and his work on wife Flora Purim [+]'s Milestone dates, but also, because of the generally superb work he did under Creed Taylor [+]'s supervision at CTI from 1972-74.
		Produced by Taylor and recorded at Rudy Van Gelder [+]'s famous New Jersey studio, this LP demonstrates just how exciting and creative 1970s fusion could be.
		When Moreira and his colleagues blend jazz with Brazilian music, rock and funk on such cuts as "Wind Chant," "Tombo in 7/4" and "Romance of Death," the results are consistently enriching.
