Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66
"Look Around"
Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66, 1968

     This week on the Hi-Fi, a shot of lounge with a samba chaser. From Brazil way, we bring you piano player and group leader Sergio Mendes. Mendes and Brasil '66 took over where Getz and Gilberto left off (which is not surprising since Mendes worked with Getz/Gilberto featured artist Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1964). Joao Gilberto gave us "The Girl From Ipanema," Mendes and company bring us their own sultry version of Burt Bacharach's "The Look of Love." This album also do a half-way decent rendition of the Lennon/McCartney masterpiece "With A Little Help From My Friends." This album was produced by Mr. Tijuana Brass himself, Herb Alpert, who lends that hip south-of-the-border flair to these swinging tunes. "Look Around" is just one of the nearly 50 recording that Mendes has done over his long career. So, if you want that rockin' bossa nova, baby, then go no further than Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66.
