Flora Purim is a Brazilian jazz singer known primarily for her work in the jazz fusion style. She became prominent for her part in Return To Forever with Chick Corea & Stanley Clarke. She has recorded & performed with numerous artists, including George Duke, Dizzy Gillespie, Gil Evans, Stan Getz, Santana, Mickey Hart, Jaco Pastorius, and her husband Airto Moreira. The Complete Warner Recordings contains the 3 albums she did for that label, Everyday Everynight, Nothing Will Be As It Was... Tomorrow & Carry On plus two rare bonus tracks, Tango Blues & Sad Song.

Find Letter X, the eponymous release from the Brooklyn-based band led by drummer/composer Kate Gentile, features saxophonist Jeremy Viner, pianist Matt Mitchell, and bassist Kim Cass. Gentile's 2021 release Snark Horse - co-led with Mitchell - was a gargantuan six-volume set that Downbeat called "Monumental... Creating an abstract galaxy from scratch, they sound like they know every black hole and supercluster in the place." The similarly-ambitious new work - across three densely-packed CDs housed in a custom-designed package - bursts with inventive details and dramatic arcs. Each disc contains a distinct thematic identity while simultaneously contributing to a larger narrative trajectory. Meticulously-constructed and highly intentional, Find Letter X is a wide-ranging exploration of diverse sonics and contrasting forms: a vibrant feedback loop of virtuosic improvisational and compositional ingenuity entirely unified by Gentile's singular musical aesthetic.
