Seeds On The Ground (1971) est le deuxième album solo du jazzman brésilien Airto Moreira, juste avant sa participation au Return To Forever de Chick Corea. On baigne typiquement dans l'atmosphère Jazz fin des années 60 / début 70 : Jazz Fusion, Free Jazz, Jazz teinté de rythmes exotiques. Le plus est apporté par les racines brésiliennes d'Arto Moreira via la Samba et les musiques Folkloriques Brésiliennes style Forro. Airto Moreira est accompagné par sa compagne, Flora Purim, au chant, et les excellents musiciens Hermeto Pascoal aux claviers e Ron Carter à la contrebasse. On note la présence de Sivuca. Mes plages préférées correspondent aux temps de l'album où le Jazz Fusion rencontre avec magie la Samba ("Juntos (We Love)"). Cet album "solo" et "débridé" d'Airto Moreira est souvent présenté comme une "récréation entre deux périodes, celle "Weather Report" et celle "Return to Forever". Seeds On The Ground est un très intéressant album de Jazz Fusion créatif et aventureux fortement teinté de musique latine sauce brésilienne, donc à découvrir.

Seeds On The Ground (1971) is the second solo album by Brazilian jazzman Airto Moreira, released just before his participation in Chick Corea's Return To Forever. It's steeped in the typical jazz atmosphere of the late 60s/early 70s: jazz fusion, free jazz, and jazz tinged with exotic rhythms. The added dimension comes from Airto Moreira's Brazilian roots, influenced by samba and Brazilian folk music like forró. Airto Moreira is accompanied by his partner, Flora Purim, on vocals, and the excellent musicians Hermeto Pascoal on keyboards and Ron Carter on double bass. Sivuca also makes an appearance. My favorite tracks are those on the album where jazz fusion magically meets samba ("Juntos (We Love)"). This unbridled solo album by Airto Moreira is often described as a "break between two periods," the "Weather Report" era and the "Return to Forever" era. Seeds On The Ground is a very interesting, creative, and adventurous jazz fusion album heavily influenced by Brazilian Latin music, and well worth discovering.
