iTunes!Get this video and more at MySpace.Watch Sergio Mendes' "That Heat" video featuring Will.Listen to Sergio's new album Timeless.Sergio Mendes is the most internationally successful Brazilian artist of all time.It was those Sergio classics that won the heart and mind of evolving musical legend will.One of the most successful rap acts of this decade, the bands 2005 album, Monkey Business, is the urban pop crossover phenomenon of the year.Starbucks Hear Music album, Timeless, Mendes first new release in eight years.For Will (who claims Mendes Slow Hot Wind, reworked on Timeless as That Heat, is the first song he ever sampled while still an East L.Sergio Mendes has been a dream come true.He came to my house with a lot of old vinyl that I recorded many years ago, remembers Sergio.He knows every Brazilian riff.We talked and I said, You know what?It turned into a wonderful marriage of rhythms, Sergio continues, because its all African rhythms and haunting melodies.Its all about the same beats that we inherited from Africa.Its two urban cultures clashing and fusing together beautifully, because they all share a lot of the same qualities.Putting together the project, Will and Sergio, of course, brought in the Black Eyed Peas.Tip, John Legend, Jill Scott, Stevie Wonder, and members of The Roots and Jurassic 5.The involvement of Wonder (Mendes wrote Portuguese lyrics to one of Wonders songs many years ago) was fortuitous.Perfect timing, says Will.Wonder, Im working on the new Sergio Mendes project.So I was like, wed love, love to have you play harmonica or sing on one of the songs.He said, Let me hear what you guys got cooking up.And, then he came by two days later...And it was magic, interjects Sergio.You see, over the last decade, despite his absence from the recording studio, Sergio Mendes has recently become hip all over again.DJs have been sampling his classic tracks in clubs.But perhaps a little history is in order.Sergio Mendes has been recording since 1961, and he was playing the legendary NYC jazz club, Birdland, with his band by 1962.Records in 1966, he immediately became the biggest Brazilian artist of the decadewhich is really saying something when you consider that it was also the decade of the bossa nova and the huge hit, Girl From Ipanema, both phenomenons.Lain Hall (who later married Herb Alpert)reached the top of the Billboard singles charts with smashes like The Look of Love (which immediately became a perennial standard upon release), covers of Scarborough Fair, and The Fool on the Hill, and, probably their signature song, Mas Que Nada.Award for his album Brasileiro.Youd almost have to be a hermit to have never heard the track...So its only fitting that a new version of the song should be the song Sergio and Will agreed upon to kickoff Timeless.It was very challenging, and I had a lot of fun with it.Brazilian musicians, offering the same type of classic melody here (and elsewhere throughout the entire album) that made the pianist famous decades ago.Its good for young peopleand also for musiciansto hear Sergio Mendes, notes Will.Because a lot of young music today, its like theres no melody.When you get to the Sergio Mendes level, its like you can create these simple, haunting melodies that just, boom, make you melt.Because hes not only melodic, but Will has wonderful rhythmic instincts and ideas as well.And the way he organized the beats with the organic Brazilian instruments, and integrated the Protools beats with it all, was just fascinating because Ive never done it before.The other thing I found fascinating was his structuring of the song.Will would get to the meat of the song, the essence of the song, getting rid of things that were unnecessary.Justin Timberlake to like Brazilian music as much as I do, explains Will.Arie song (which, incidentally, happened to be the albums title track).From that point on, he was like.You gotta put me on that Sergio Mendes project.Arie track is just crazy!And he ended up writing a song for Sergio and me.So it just happened like, Woosh!The young with the legendary.Latin and African polyrhythms merged with American urban music.More than 20 years after his last phenomenal hit, Sergio Mendes has returned with an album that promises to be just as phenomenal but even more revolutionary than his past smash accomplishments.And, then here comes Sergio Mendes saying, Hey, have you heard Brazilian music?And he brought it to America.Ive worked with James Brown, and hes the one who brought funk to America.And now Ive worked with Sergio Mendes, and hes also responsible for bringing a whole genre of music to the United States.Fire if Sergio Mendes hadnt brought samba and bossa nova to America.But the only reason that you can call Timeless a Brazilian record is because of Sergio Mendes blood.He comes from Brazil so therefore its a Brazilian record, he adds.And most of the melodies are Brazilian, says Sergio.The melodies are of Brazilian descent, agrees Will.But this album is a universal album.And its a romantic thing.But, overall, yes, this is very universal.Ola Maestro,Feliz 2008, que seja repleto de coisas boas e muita
