4 out of 5 stars Jazz fusion vocalist at her peak.......2006-05-14

I checked out the actual LP of this record because I'd heard Purim's vocals on one of my all-time favorite fusion discs, Chick Corea's "Return to Forever." "500 Miles High" is a Corea track from his Return to Forever line-up's "Light as a Feather" double-album, which also features Airto and Purim.

So, call this Brazil via Corea, and throw in Brazilian soft pop croomer Milton Nascimento on one track, "Cravo e Canela" (Cinnamon and Cloves)." I remember Nascimento from the CD that introduced me to Tropicalia and Brazilian music in general, the David Byrne-compiled "Brazil Classics: Vol. 1."

Purim is a bit of an acquired taste. I think she sounds a bit screechy in that early 70s kitschy sort of way, but she employs it well on this album, able to scat jive with the driving Latin rhythm, her voice a complement to the groove, especially on the roasting last track, "Jive Talk."

I love live albums, especially live fusion, and even more if it's Brazilian and from the early 70s. Purim's "500 Miles High" fits the bill. It also benefits from a highly percussive sound and the use of berimbaus, a uniquely Brazilian instrument (it looks like a bow and arrow) used in the Afro-Brazilian martial art, capoeira.

4 out of 5 stars Ron Carter is Far From Dead!.......2005-06-23

I saw him @ Catalina's in H'wood. It was magnificent. Purim soars on this live recording. The Fender Rhodes is a wonderful compliment to her unique vocals.

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful and exotic musical Performance........2004-01-16

Flora Purim, with the aid of husband Aierto, and players like the late Ron Carter on Bass, produced an album that had one foot in the world of Jazz, and the other in Brazil. At times contimplative as in the opening, "O Cantador", Ms. Purim quickly switches gears, she moans and scats Flora style into a set that includes Her most famous collaboration with Chick Corea, "500 Miles High", as well as other mood songs like "Bahia(The Wind)", a meditation that contains such beautiful lyrics that you almost forget yourself and you are transformed to some breezy evening in Brazil. As an earlier reviewer noted, I had the album when I was 17, growing up in New York, and cannot name a more ingaging,intimate yet wild, exotic fruit of an album to get aquainted with what Flora Purim is really about.

5 out of 5 stars THE 'FIRST LADY OF BRAZIL' SOARS WITH THIS CLASSIC SET!!!.......2001-08-07

Brazil's national treasure Flora Purim has never sounded more beautiful than in this incredible concert CD!!! With her flashback from her 'Return to Forever' days, she delivers the goods on the dizzyingly beautiful song '500 Miles High'!!! The effects that Flora produces with that voice are astonishing. It transcends that of other live performers by miles - (500 miles, to be exact!!!) FINALLY - this is available on CD!!! It's a rare classic!!!!!! Fly high with Flora Purim by adding this amazing classic to your collection!!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars First time to hear a voice go so far beyond "just singing.".......1999-04-29

This collection offers a fascinating extrapolation of Flora Purim from her "Return to Forever" days. I was simultaneously thrilled, curious, and convinced. I've since heard other voice artists, but none have compared to the original. Her range, expression, and inventiveness are truly aparadigmatic--then and still.

    4 out of 5 stars Good, but not great compilation.......2006-08-02

    "500 Miles" has a generous 24 tracks, but it's missing the hits "Karla With A K" and "Nervous Night", both of which can be found on the domestic collection, "Hooterization". Also, their fourth album "Out Of Body" is only represented by one song! It would've been nice if they had included "Twenty-Five Hours A Day" and "Boys Will Be Boys".

    This collection has been digitally remastered.

    4 out of 5 stars Too Many Best Hits Collections.......2005-06-26

    That's right! There's Too Many "Best Hits Collections" of these guys. Though this one would be my personal favorite if pressed to say so. At last count there were more collections of Hooter songs than original albums issued. That's just plain WAKED. I suggest buying "zig zag", "Nervous Night" and "One Way Home" via the used venue here on amazon. This way you own ALL of the great music & YOU decide what their best hits are for yourself, don't let some record industry suit do it for you.

              This is a fantastic album I got it on sale and what a buy I was a fan of Gene Vincent mainly from his 50's recordings but this is a compilation of his last two albums before he died. The great thing here is that the listener can here the tremendous talent of Gene as he steers towards a more country sound but he still has that rockabilly spark igniting these songs. The album captures feelings of loneliness, rebellion and the need for spiritual love and knowingness. Gene is at his best here, even better than his 50's songs in my opinion. The music is superp the lyrics brilliant and hurting everthing is awesome. This is the kind of album you put on when you're travelin' a lonely highway in search of God or to challenge the devil, at least that's how I view it. If you love the rebel in black that belongs to the night and travels alone then this is your album. So keep on rockin'!

              First I have to say the Supersuckers ROCK!!! and if you don't have their CD'S well you better run out and get all of them.This particular CD on the other hand holds it's ground due to the fact that you can put different styles of music together and still make a worthy album. Order this album and you won't regret it..
