Speak no evil is a 2003 album by the Brazilian singer Flora Purim. The name of the album is a tribute to a 1965 album and song by Wayne Shorter, which was recorded in this CD.
The album presents a fusion of jazz, samba and other latin rhythms. It counts on contribution of some famous artists, such as Airto Moreira, Flora's husband, and Oscar Castro Neves. It also counts on the participation of Diana Booker, her daughter[2].
Speak no evil was very acclaimed by the critics as the return of Flora Purim to jazz music[2] [3].
