Airto Moreira – Fingers (CTI, 1973)

Airto (perc, vo, d); David Amaro (g); Hugo Fattoruso (kybd, vo); Ringo Thielmann (b, vo); Jorge Fattoruso (d, vo); Flora Purim (vo, perc) 

Recorded on April 9, 17 and 18, 1973

Airto's Free (CTI, 1972) is probably a more "culturally significant" record. 

And Airto's first two LPs for Buddah Records are probably "better" LPs.  (They're collected on a 2-LP set/single CD as The Essential Airto.)  

But Fingers is my FAVORITE.  This is Airto's band.  The music is totally distinctive, a heady mix of jazz, MBP, and rock.

Listen to everything Airto made as drummer, percussionist, and producer. All of it. He's an unacknowledged giant.
