5.0 out of 5 stars One of the last lost Treasures among Brazilian Jazz, June 17, 2008

This review is from: Brasil '86 (Vinyl)

I'm so glad I finally got to review this amazing CD by Master Sergio Mendes.

This CD originally released in 1986 will go on to history as a very rare release; you name the format; CD, Album, Cassette, this recording did not hit the markets massively, so now is as hard to get it, almost as it was back then.

Three special features make this CD very special;

1. The great collaboration Dori Caymmi brought to the recording (compositional-wise and performance-wise)

2. Three super hits in almost all Jazz radio stations from 1986 to mid 90's by three different vocalists in this same album:

- "Daylight" / Performed by Siedah Garrett

- "Your Smile" / Performed by Gracinha Leporace

- "No Place to Hide" / Performed by Lani Hall

and...

3. A great pop hit from the 80's that you can only find in this album: "Take This Love".

And finally I'd like to point out as customery, all the great musicians in this historical recording:

- Sergio Mendes / Piano, Keyboards, Sinclavier, Compositions, Arrangements, Production

- Jeff Porcaro / Drums

- Paulinho Da Costa / Percussions

- Gracinha Leporace / Vocals

- Siedah Garrett / Vocals

- Lani Hall / Vocals

- Joe Pizzulo / Vocals

- Dori Caymmi / Vocals, Guitars

- Peter Wolf / Keyboards, Sinclavier, Compositions, Production

- Michael McDonald / Additional Vocals

- Dann Huff / Guitars

- Ernie Watts / Saxophone

- Alphonso Johnson / Bass

- Nathan East / Bass

- Phil Perry / Additional Vocals

- etc. etc.

If you can find it, purchase it at once since it's almost impossible to find; own a piece of history.
