NOTE: there are 2 track 7's in this folder because these
2 sets run just over 80 minutes unedited, so I also included
an edited announcer track. If you use the edited track 7
instead of the unedited one, this will all fit on 1 80 min.
CD and all you miss is a little announcer babble. For those
of you who want all of the announcer wrap up, skip the edited
one instead. Whichever you choose, just remember to only use
one of them or you will get some repetition. Either way you
will not lose any continuity of the concert recording.

comments:
2 short sets here from Flora, it is all that was broadcast
during the Playboy Jazz Fest coverage here in 79. Unlike my
78 Newport Jazz Fest Flora recording, this one has no static,
it is clean quality. The announcer introduction fades in but
all the music is complete. Flora introduces the last unnamed
track but it's in an unfamiliar language and I couldn't understand
what she said. This is one of 4 Flora torrents I have to share
with you, and it is the best recording quality. Too bad it's
only 2 songs and Airto's tambourine solo, so I've added the
short 73 set to fill out a CD. The quality of that is also
clean FM quality, maybe not perfect but very enjoyable.
The 73 show is the earliest post RTF Purim I have heard yet,
and a must hear if you are or want to be Florafied. This gives
a nice perspective of where FP's music has been in the early
and late 70's.
No dolby, EQ or noise reduction was used for this recording.
Do not sell this recording.
Trade freely and losslessly.
Keep Flora pure.
