Customer Reviews:

Mendes Magic.......2006-11-17

Essentially, Mendes captures the best of the oddly complex, yet deceptively simple, emotions of the 60's with his Latin tones and international rhythms. "Scarborough Fair", for example, never sounded better--with all due respect to the original duo, of course. "The Look of Love" is another track that touches chords of heart and song that could be woven into the sound track of any movie and complement romantic images of the trash and truth of a New York City street scene (anyone of a million already out there or being dreamed up as this is being written), or create an uneasy current of sweet underscoring as the ironic sadness of a jungle war scene swayed to Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" in "Good Morning, Viet Nam!"

Unfortunately, the Broadway and Beatles bits, and some of the other basic stuff Sergio does, can stay trapped in the dust-covered sound systems of those ancient, smokey-smelling elevators, no?

No matter. Mendes can still draw magic from the emotional memory. May still do so for many more years to come. Enjoy then and now, and everything between, with a little of this "Essential Mendes" magic.

no more rap versions..........PLEASE!.......2006-08-28

You heard the Mas Que Nada rap version?.........and thought: Hey I recognise that sound, but then: It used to sound smoother and without the rap crap?! Well, good! Welcome to the original recording of mas que nada, and many more top songs from Sergio and his gang. This album will last a life time without boring you, and it is as smooth as the brazilian coffee!

The Essential Sergio Mendes.......2005-10-07

This great music. It is wonderful to have the old music re-issued on such a pristine format. What a fabulous way to bring out music from the 60's

Heavenly!.......2005-06-19

If you like Bossa Nova and Sergio Mendes, DONT'T HESITATE to get this CD! It is very comprehensive with all the most beautiful songs in one package. The recording is excellent - clear, warm and dynamic. Forget about all the other albums - trust me. Enjoy!
