Mendes, Sergio & Brasil 66 - Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66

NEW VINYL LP ON AUDIO CLARITY 2018

180 GRAM VINYL.

After bouncing around Philips, Atlantic, and Capitol playing Brazilian jazz or searching for an ideal blend of Brazilian and American pop, Sergio Mendes struck gold on his first try at A&M (then not much more than the home of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and the Baja Marimba Band). He came up with a marvelously sleek, sexy formula: dual American female voices singing in English and Portuguese over a nifty three-man bossa nova rhythm/vocal section and Mendes' distinctly jazz-oriented piano, performing tight, infectious arrangements of carefully chosen tunes from Brazil, the U.S., and the U.K. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9rgio_Mendes
