5.0 out of 5 stars
Japan, how is it you allways get the coolest stuff?,
By Ryan Duffy (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Person at El Matador (Audio CD)
How is it that Japan would end up with a 1966 recording of a South American artist, live in San Fransisco? I guess there really isn't a good answer to that question, except to just shrug, and import the darn thing. The pure essence of Sergio Mendes and Brasil 65 is captured beautifully on this collection of tracks recorded in the famed "El Matador." From the random china clang, to the spare truck driving by outside, every subtle nuance has been preserved... oh along with some pretty amazing musical moments. In Person at El Matador shines with gorgeous Brazillian/Jazz arangements by Sergio, and exotic vocals by Wanda De Sah... A perfect addition to any cocktail music list, even if the import price eats into your bar tab a bit!
5.0 out of 5 stars
A great jazz album,

This review is from: In Person At El Matador (MP3 Download)
I grew up listening to Sergio Mendes, but the easy listening pop of Whipped Cream and Brasil '66. I still enjoy that music, but this is so much better. I've only recently discovered the earlier jazz recordings of Mendes. This is a great jazz album, and Sergio Mendes is a great player. The piano is powerful, complex and subtle at the same time. The rhythms are sophisticated as well. The "Greatest Hits of Brasil '65" is also worth checking out as is the "Swinger from Rio." Great Stuff!
