5.0 out of 5 stars A SUPER BOSSA CLASSIC ALBUM, September 26, 2006

By	Papetti "papetti" (Mexico City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (Audio CD)

This is a milestone for Bossa Nova and for what was going to be known as Brazilian Jazz; no serious Bossa Nova collection would be a real one without this jewel by Maestro Sergio Mendes.
I've had the album for a while and I'm so glad to see the CD already out.
To my opinion, "Samba de Uma Nota So", "Tim Dom Dom", "Agua de Beber" and "Berimbau" versions in this album, are the best, among all the other available versions ever. If you don't believe it, get this CD and verify it.
One of the best Sergio Mendes albums and by far..............

5.0 out of 5 stars simply,the best!, April 11, 2004

By	"harpyrec2" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (Audio CD)

this album introduced me to both sergio mendes and his wonderfull band..including his two girl singers who were on a par with anything the supremes did!
this album contains both vocal versions of 'spanish flea" and "day tripper' as well as some of the best samba music of all time.
rich and full production..herb alpert knew what he was onto when he gave this album kudos back nearly 40 years ago..and the album maintains its greatness all through the decades.buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exhiliration, elation, and fixation!!, January 19, 2006

By	Mark Hoskins "jazz doctor" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (Audio CD)

I remember hearing this music as a mere 6 year old and it has stuck with me for the last 37 years! I can't really express to you what this music means to me personally. I have become a true Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 junkie in the last 10 years. I actually had to go and find this album, along with Equinox, and Crystal Illusions, and have them converted to cd in order to savor what I knew was going to be a true delight! My love affair with Lani Hall's haunting and gorgeous voice goes on endlessly. I have actually brought my students( I teach high school band), particularly my jazz ensemble members, into the Brazilian Jazz fold by playing many of the cuts available on sheet music. It's still delightful today and will be for many years to come. It's a MUST HAVE!!
