Encanto

by: Sergio Mendes

"Timeless", released in 2006, was a welcome return for Sergio Mendes. I hadn't really followed him much since his album a full ten years before that one titled "Oceano". He used an approach similar to the Oceano and "Brasileiro" albums of the 90's. That is, utilize the talents of some of the budding new talents of the time and put out a nice quality album.

I think the key to enjoying this and "Timeless" is to take them as they are. A melding of different musical styles and cultures. It's not like his old music from circa' the 70's.

Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66

by: Sergio Mendes

September 26, 2006
This supposedly remastered CD sounds bright & thin with no body or bass. It's so awful that I had to take it off my stereo within seconds of playing it. I even tried to improve the sound by using a treatment available on the market to improve the sound, but that didn't even work since this CD sounds so bad. Releasing this terrible sounding CD is a disgrace. The A&M label should be ashamed of themselves!

Excellent 1992 collection of Brazilian drummers, singers, and songwriters then mixed and sweetened in L.A. by Sergio Mendez and some top drawer West Coast jazz musicians.

It's a product that anybody that like to hear a good brazilian musician should buy and, the important thing, it's a rare CD.
Buy it and enjoy it a lot.

Equinox

by: Sergio Mendes

May 21, 2002
This is my all-time favorite Brazil '66 album. Sexy, sensual, exudes a feeling of warm weather and warm emotions. Captivating rhythms, poetic, evocative lyrics, with lovely, intricate vocal and musical arrangements. A joy from beginning to end and a must-have for romantic evenings.

The Best of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '65

by: Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66

August 24, 1993
While it would be nice to have Brasil '65 in CD format, this album is close enough to satisfy me. The only difference I detected was a minor change in phrasing in the song "So Nice."
