Sergio Mendes - Quiet Nights (1963)
2007-09-12 08:04:00 This is a special repost of one of the greatest accomplishes of Loronix. It is also a tribute to our friend Caetano Rodrigues, a great friend of mine that I could only have the chance to meet through our community. For those who does not know who is Caetano Rodrigues, he is just the greatest Bossa Nova LP collector in Brazil, blessing Loronix on an on-going basis with albums from his personal collection.I said before and I want to say it again, Caetano's contribution to our community is such like a once in a lifetime opportunity and this post is to make people understand - specially the new Loronixers - why Caetano is so important to Loronix by making his whole collection available to us to the love he has to the music from Brazil and the great sympath to our website.This is Sergio Mendes - Quiet Nights (1968), for Philips, one of the rarest Bossa Nova albums, never made available in CD. As I said, Quiet Night is being reposted to homage Caetano and also to address major improvemen...

Sergio Mendes - Arara (1989)
2007-07-31 07:43:00 I have this album on my waiting list for more than a year. By the way, this is one of the most requested posts at Loronix. However, every time I decide to make it, I look at this really disappointing cover and change my mind. There is nothing wrong with Sergio Mendes, the concept, etc. What really disturbs me is the way this beautiful macaw had his wings clipped. I agree with wing clipping since the day zecalouro flew away home and this procedure, when made by a specialized vet, cannot be identified with eye observation. Anyway, I thought I would not mention this thing.This is Sergio Mendes - Arara (1989), for Polygram, a pretty recent Sergio Mendes album and surprisingly out of print for years. It is amazing how Sergio Mendes fans at Loronix cries for this album. Arara lines-up a constellation of musicians with an important participation of Dori Caymmi. That's it, finally made available, personnel listing is available bellow, as well tracks. Tracks include:PersonnelSergio Mendes(k...

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 - Love Music (1973)
2007-06-08 07:14:00 I had no option except showing Loronixers the album included on our last challenge. Sergio Mendes is really popular among Loronixers, several answers were posted as soon as the challenge was made available. Thanks everybody and thanks Beto Kessel, The Ambassador, the first to wrote the right answer. This album also ends my Sergio Mendes "graduation", and to summarize my findings I just want to say he is a really professional musician, in control of every aspect of his career with no fear of making changes when needed. Let's now see why people got so thrilled by the challenge.This is Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 - Love Music (1973), for Bell. This is perhaps the first Sergio Mendes album with no Brazilian songs I see. I don't know if it is the only exception, but it seems to me that we have an effort to make Love Music a blockbuster, all songs are very popular, you will probably have the feeling that you heard everything before. This is certainly a transitional album to the further ...

Sergio Mendes - Sergio Mendes' Favorite Things (1967)
2007-05-17 06:26:00 I think my Sergio Mendes education is over with the release of this brand new contribution from Caetano Rodrigues, or at least "phase one" education has gone to a term. A couple of days before I understood my worries about Sergio Mendes, blame it on the Arara album with a Macaw at the cover with the wings clipped on a way I never saw before. Who knows later I show you this album, widely unknown Sergio Mendes LP.This is Sergio Mendes - Sergio Mendes' Favorite Things (1967), for Atlantic. I decided to do not make any kind of research about Favorite Things and based on I heard this is another "transitional" Sergio Mendes album from the Bossa Nova oriented years to the late more "commercial" Sergio Mendes. The Favorite Things title suggests a compilation; anyway, Caetano should bring more clarification tomorrow when I reach him by phone, although I'm sure I will wake up with several comments waiting for approval. Tracks include:01 - My Favorite Things(R. Rodgers / O. Hammerstein II)02...

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Look Around (1968)
2007-05-05 13:32:00 I think this album adds several things to my education on Sergio Mendes. Caetano sent it to Loronixers in the last package, thanks Caetano for it. The last Sergio Mendes at Loronix was The Swinger from Rio, recorded in 1968 was all instrumental and based upon Bossa Nova standards with Antonio Carlos Jobim participation and several songs by Jobim. Look Around was recorded three years later in 1968 and what we see here is a major change of direction, this album is pop and in the same time beautiful and very well done. It seems to me that Sergio Mendes is a very talented musician and also a competent businessman that quickly understood the market to conquer mass audiences without loosing the quality of his music.This is Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Look Around (1968), for A&M. I think everything needed was said at the first paragraph, stay with AMG review by Richard Ginell, personnel and track list. Tracks include:AMG ReviewSergio Mendes took a deep breath, expanded his sound to i...

Sergio Mendes - The Swinger from Rio (1965) featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim
2007-04-29 06:11:00 Everybody knows that I'm not the best person in town to talk about a Sergio Mendes album, Caetano is my right choice and we have been talking about this one for more than a month. This is an early 1964 Sergio Mendes LP. I know the first Sergio Mendes album is Dance Moderno, which is available at Loronix, Find It should give you the answer. Before Dance Moderno, there was released two albums, this one and the one that I like most, Voce Ainda Nao Ouviu Nada with Sergio Mendes & Bossa Rio. I don't know what is the second one, but I'm sure this is my second favorite. Let's see why.This is Sergio Mendes - The Swinger from Rio (1964), for Atlantic, later released in Brazil as Bossa Nova York, for Elenco. The Brazilian issue explains where Swinger from Rio was recorded, in the US, featuring Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim among other five stars artists, such as: Tiao Neto, Phil Woods and others. Antonio Carlos Jobim plays violao throughout the album and the US Jazz guest on various songs....

Sergio Mendes - The Great Arrival (1966)
2007-03-21 05:52:00 I always admit that I'm not the best parrot in town to give advice or even talk about Sergio Mendes, his trajectory from Niteroi until the proper recognition, as a renowned international artist is truly amazing. Unfortunately, I do not have basic Mendes skills, as the great experts at Loronix, such as Caetano Rodrigues, The Emperor, The Admiral, Mr. G. Frank-Oliver, bossanovadreamer, and many others, the list is huge. I fail on simple issues and cannot identify, for instance, the differences between the "Brasil" formations, such like Brasil '65, '66, etc.By the way, Sergio Mendes leads the ranking of the most downloaded LP at Loronix with the impossible to find and never released on CD album Quiet Nights, one of the first contributions of Caetano Rodrigues, such like this one that I'm sure will be received with enthusiasm.This is Sergio Mendes - The Great Arrival (1966), for Atlantic, featuring arrangements by Clare Fischer, Bob Florence and Dick Hazard. I will let with you fri...

Cannonball's Bossa Nova - Cannonball Adderley with Sergio Mendes Bossa Rio
2007-01-29 05:21:04 This is a 1962 album of Cannonball Adderley, which is a pretty good and new surprise for zecalouro, in collaboration with an early Sergio Mendes Bossa Rio Group. Recorded in New York by Riverside, the label just close the business after release and this amazing record was never properly recognized as an essential Bossa Nova piece.Stay with this GREAT album, Cannonball Bossa Nova with Sergio Mendes Bossa Rio Sextet, here.Hope uEnjoy!

Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65 - The Best of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65 @ 2
2007-01-27 17:17:01 Some people say: if there is a record to show for a novice how Bossa Nova should be, this The Best of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '65 is the album.Wanda Sa takes part on half of the tracks - popular Bossa Nova tunes - and gives the album a cool atmosphere just like Astrud Gilberto way of singing.Brasil '65 is a Trio, so you will find Guitar, Bass and Drums with a groovy very close to Samba.I will let you with this Album, first here at Loronix.Hope uEnjoy!

Sergio Mendes & Bossa Rio - Voce Ainda Nao Ouviu Nada! (1963) @ 320Kbps
2007-01-27 17:17:01 From the back cover: In the early 60's, Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, was the birthplace of SambaJazz; this album by Sergio Mendes & Bossa Rio is the original icon piece of the movement in one of its most inspired moments. Antonio Carlos Jobim foresaw that Voce Ainda nao Ouviu Nada! (You haven't Heard Anything Yet) would be a milestone in modern popular music: "I'm not a prophet but I truly believe this album, the result of so much work and love, will open new paths in our musical panorama". It DidVoce Ainda nao Ouviu Nada! is here!Hope uEnjoy!

Sergio Mendes - Horizonte Aberto (1979)
2007-01-26 23:15:02 Hello, Good Night! I'm happy to get back to business as usual to say thanks once again with the tremendous feedback to Loronix 48 Hours of Tom Jobim. I could check several conversations on Forums, Orkut, discussion lists, etc. about our tribute and they were all positive.Let's see what happens with this release. I have been reading several comments about this LP as a hard to find and a sought after LP Sergio Mendes fans item. It was awesome when I found it earlier this week on a near mint state for R$ 1.00 (one real) at a vynil shop in Copacabana. I found also o good Elizeth Cardoso for the same price and with a short negotiation I could take both for the same price of one.This is Sergio Mendes - Horizonte Aberto (1979), for Som Livre. I have to admit that I made just a single hearing when I was extracting the music and teaching zeca some new tricks. I think that Sergio Mendes and all people who claimed for it will be amazed. Horizonte Aberto has the participation of several renow...

2006-12-27 22:22:01 The great close. A important LP for the career of one of the most celebrated Brazilian artist worldwide, Sergio Mendes. This live recording was the first Sergio Mendes album released in the United States and features some of the best musicians by that time under Sergio Mendes Brasil '65. I don't know why, this is one of Caetano contributions that I left to the end.This is Sergio Mendes & Brasil '65 - In Person at El Matador (1966), for Atlantic USA, recorded 2 years after Sergio Mendes arrival in the United States and featuring Sergio Mendes (piano), Tiao Neto (bass), Paulinho Magalhaes and Chico Batera (drums), Rosinha de Valença (acoustic guitar) and Wanda Sa (vocal).
