1.0 out of 5 stars Trapped in the Sixties, February 14, 2003

By	gw (Lansing, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This is just a terrible album. I purchased the original vinyl and didn't like it (except for "Comin' Home Baby). Because it's bundled with the "Pele" and "In Person at El Matador," I ended up with the CD. I gave it a listen, but I still hate it. Mushy 60s-style string-pop-funk arrangements just overwhelm Sergio's crisp piano styling. Go with "Swinger from Rio" and "Beat of Brazil" to hear Sergio at his best. Even the badly recorded "Mas Que Nada" is a better example of his combo playing.
