5.0 out of 5 stars Bossa Jazz representative, March 10, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bossa Nova York: Serie Elenco (Audio CD)
Sergio Mendes started his musical career in the early 60's being influenced by two major musical genres: Bossa Nova that just had started in Brazil, and by Jazz. During his early recordings (including this one), Sergio was avid to promote and mix both styles of music with a lot of success, and this Bossa Nova York from 1967 is a perfect example.

Here Sergio and his trio, partner (as he's ever done), with North American musicians to ensure the perfect mix of his Bossa Jazz; check the list of musicians playing here:
- Sergio Mendes / Pianos (Trio)
- Chico Batera / Drums (Trio)
- Tiao Neto / Bass guitar (Trio)
guests:
- Antonio Carlos Jobim / Acoustic Guitar
- Hubert Laws / Flutes
- Phil Woods / Alto Saxophone
- Art Farmer / Flugelhorn

This set as you can see pays homage to several of the Bossa Nova standards with Jazz twists making a delicious Bossa Jazz combo.

P.S. This kind of recordings become more precious as the years go by, because of their historical and influential value (41 years at this point) since Sergio Mendes continues to be an important name in the musical worlds with his newest 2008 release: (Encanto = Morning in Rio).
