Flora Purim

𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙖 𝙋𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙢’𝙨 “500 𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝” captures her at a radiant creative peak — a soaring fusion of Brazilian phrasing, jazz freedom and cosmic, electric intensity shaped in close orbit with Airto and the Return to Forever universe.

The album centres Purim’s unmistakable voice in spacious yet rhythmically alive settings: electric keys shimmering against lithe percussion, flute and synth textures drifting between acoustic warmth and astral lift-off. Her reading of the title track becomes a full-flight ritual — weightless, expressive and deeply melodic — while the surrounding material glides between contemplative passages and ecstatic movement.

A touchstone of 70s jazz fusion, “500 Miles High” remains a luminous testament to Purim’s ability to fuse virtuosity with spirit, crafting songs that feel both intimate and skybound.
