Purim met and married percussionist Airto Moreira in Brazil in the late 1960s and then moved with him to the United States, where she worked with Stan Getz and pianist Duke Pearson before joining Chick Corea, Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, and Moreira in the original Return to Forever band in 1972.
In his book, The 101 Best Jazz Albums, Len Lyons recommends the Flora Purim and Airto Moreira album, 500 Miles High/At Montreux (Milestone), which is available on CD from Amazon.com.
