Free Music Notes for Best Of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65
Free Music Review: This is what I think of when I think of Bossa Nova
Hit: 5 Stars
Sergio Mendes has lived something of a double life as a musician. On the one hand you have the lush pop of Brasil '66, on the other you have the straight up Bossa Nova as found here. Wanda de Sa sings on about half the tracks - I'll go one step further than the previous reviewer and say she's a better singer than Astrud Gilberto - who has one of the coolest deep, breathy voices I've ever heard. The components used here are pretty basic: piano, drums, bass, guitar (courtesy of famous guitarist Rosinha da Valenca) and a little flute and sax in places, plus the vocals of de Sa. Some of the songs are sung in Portuguese, some in English, but both come off very well. This is a great CD to just relax to, have a romantic dinner, etc... (but it's only 30 minutes long, so have a back-up ready!) I highly recommend this one.By the way, it is possible to get more Brasil 65' - even including Wanda de Sa! There's a Japanese release called "Live at the Matador" which is more of the same as here, but live, and also really good, with an outstanding version of Wanda de Sa singing "O Morro."
