1966, I was nine years old and upon hearing Sergio Mendes I knew I somehow how to get my hands on this "album".CD, still am mesmerized by it.Learned about this group while in college in the 60s and saw them perform in person.This one bring me back to those days where my parents, aunts and uncles were playing it on LP.Great thing about it is I inherted their taste for great music.Published 10 months ago by V.See all 2 discussions...See all 2 discussions...Be the first person to add an article about this item at Amapedia.What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing Items Like This?Music You Should Hear: Artists' PicksWant to know what Norah Jones, Sting, and Il Divo are listening to?Find out in Music You Should Hear, where these and other artists tell you about the music they love.For more about music, check out our blog, Amazon Earworm, and our monthly newsletters, Amazon Delivers.Using your checking account at Amazon.If you need help or have a question for Customer Service, contact us.Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?Is there any other feedback you would like to provide?Please note that we are unable to respond directly to all feedback submitted via this form, but we'll ask you to sign in so we can contact you if needed.Visit our Help department.You have no recently viewed items or searches.Look to the right column to find helpful suggestions for your shopping session.Videos, music and pictures of the nominees.Sign in to get personalized recommendations.Hours() * 3600 + newCurrentTime.Minutes() * 60 + newCurrentTime.Hours() * 3600 + currentTime.Minutes() * 60 + currentTime.This item is not eligible for Amazon Prime, but over a million other items are.Join Amazon Prime today.See all 8 customer reviews...Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?Send Sergio ringtones to your cell phone now!Add a iframe that allows us to ping the server when this element becomes visible
a9AdsViewNamespace.Why not be the first to suggest a search for which it should appear?See all 358 customer reviews...The easiest way to shoot video reviews.There is a great fusion of sounds, here, since Herb Alpert joined forces with Brasil 66 producer and mastermind Sergio Mendes.My only qualm is that this beautiful, melodious journey through music comes to an end way too quickly.Was this review helpful to you?Herb Alpert's fingerprints all over it (and not always in a good way).It was sped up and jazzed up a bit (Herb) then it was INTERSPICED WITH THE DATING GAME THEME SONG (incidentally by Herb Alpert and featured on his hit album _Whipped Cream_).In the late 1960's perhaps not, but now it sounds really dated, campy and cheesy.All in all, pleasant, but had Herb's fingerprints on most of the tracks.Summary:
Recording quality and mastering is absolutely first rate!If you have a good to great stereo system you will appreciate the skill in the recording and remastering that was done.Meaning his style and Samba don't quite go together in my opinon, after listening to this one).Equinox_ is a good pick.This is a milestone for Bossa Nova and for what was going to be known as Brazilian Jazz; no serious Bossa Nova collection would be a real one without this jewel by Maestro Sergio Mendes.To my opinion, "Samba de Uma Nota So", "Tim Dom Dom", "Agua de Beber" and "Berimbau" versions in this album, are the best among all the other available versions ever.If you don't believe it, get this CD and verify it.Was this review helpful to you?The second half is a little thinner, more latin than you might like.Now, 37 years later, I still listen to this CD every week.Published on December 4, 2003 by Michael B.See all 8 customer reviews...What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing Items Like This?My favourite Bossa Nova!!!Off Your StairMaster and Nautilus Purchase
