Stone Flower is the sixth studio album by Antônio Carlos Jobim.
Stone Flower Review by Thom Jurek
...Take, for instance, the title track with its stuttered, near imperceptible percussion laid under a Jobim piano melody of such simplicity, it's harmonically deceptive. It isn't until Lookofsky enters for his solo that you realize just how sophisticated and dense both rhythm and the chromatic lyricism are. The album closes with a reprise of "Brazil," restating a theme that has, surprisingly been touched upon in every track since the original inception, making most of the disc a suite that is a lush, sense-altering mediation, not only on Jobim's music and the portraits it paints, but ON the sounds employed by Taylor to achieve this effect. Stone Flower is simply brilliant, a velvety, late-night snapshot of Jobim at his peak.

Seeds on the Ground by Airto, released on Buddha in 1971
insheepsclothinghifi.com wrote
"Brazilian drummer & percussionist Airto Moreira’s second solo LP Seeds On The Ground – The Natural Sounds Of Airto is a “world music” masterpiece that blends a variety of influences from jazz fusion, psychedelic rock, bossa nova, latin jazz, to Brazilian folk. The album features a heavyweight supporting cast of Brazilian all-stars including wife Flora Purim, Hermeto Pascoal, Sivuca, Dom Um Romao, along with American bassist Ron Carter. Airto was already a legend in the jazz fusion scene after stints with Miles Davis, Weather Report, and Return to Forever, but Seeds On The Ground is perhaps his master work.."

Natural Feelings by Airto 1970
"This album, originally released in 1970 on the thinly-distributed Skye label, marks Airto's debut as a bandleader and captures the percussionist right at the time he recorded Bitches Brew with Miles Davis, and right before he joined Weather Report for their first album. Indeed, the line-up on this album reflects the fact that Airto had one foot in the NYC jazz scene and one foot in his native Brazil, as bassist Ron Carter joins Airto's countrymen Sivuca and Hermeto Pascoal, along with Airto's wife Flora Purim. The music is a fascinating blend of jazz-funk and Brazilian tropes, housed inside the original wild, Hieronymus Bosch album art!" Soul Jazz Records
