Seeds on the Ground

by Airto Moreira

Seeds on the Ground cover art

A meeting of Brazilian musical titans, Airto Moreira's 'Seeds on the Ground' features Hermeto Pascoal, Flora Purim, and Sivuca, creating a potent blend of jazz, psychedelia, and Brazilian folk traditions. Ron Carter, the sole American contributor, provides bass lines that anchor the album's often ecstatic explorations, as heard on tracks like "Uri (Wind)". This album marks a transitional period for Airto, bridging his time with Weather Report and his future work with Return to Forever, prefiguring the latter with Purim's distinctive vocals.
