5.0 out of 5 stars Stillness revisted, November 2, 2002

This review is from: Stillness (Audio CD)

I first heard this album over 25 years ago. I owned it
at least three times, but I kept giving it away because
I thought it was so special. Alas, I couldn't find it
any longer, and made do with a poor taped copy until
I finally lost it as well. Hearing this again in CD
format, without the scratches, is truly a delight. All
the songs are as good as I remember, and listening to
it brings me back to a simpler time, when anything
was possible. Now I'm motivated to pick up several
other CD's by them. Where to begin...

4.0 out of 5 stars Stillness-Lani Hall's farewell to the group, December 10, 2002

Stillness marks the last cd under the Brazil '66 title. It also marks the end of Lani Hall's association with the group. She goes out by singing exquisitely, especially on a lovely cover of
Sometimes In Winter. Gracinha Leporace contributes a fine vocal performance on Lost In Paradise, and Mendes himself takes a rare solo on Cancao Do Nosso Amor. Let's hope that the folks at A&M will re-release all of Lani Hall's solo albums in the near future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well For What It's Worth..., August 19, 2004

This review is from: Stillness (Audio CD)

Somebody as to give this album the honor it deserves.On
'Stillness' Sergio Mendes's Brazil 66 weave a lovely,melodic
musical tapastry that's very sunny and stripped down.A deeply
funky version of Buffolo Springfield's hit "For What It's Worth" is easily the highlight of this disk but the title cut is very genuine and quiet and makes a wonderful musical point.
If one is inclined towards liking that kind of music most of
the rest of this album is cut in a similar vein by likening
1960's folk-rock with Brazillian pop-in my opinion a wonderful
conbination of styles.A bouncy,jazzy version of Joni Michell's
"Chelsea Morning"will get anyone moving and I can't say
anything bad about this album!Really,can you?
