Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (1996) more music like this

by Sergio Mendes

After bouncing around Philips, Atlantic, and Capitol playing Brazilian jazz or searching for an ideal blend of Brazilian and American pop, Sergio Mendes struck gold on his first try at A&M (then not much more than the home of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and the Baja Marimba Band). He came up with a marvelously sleek, sexy formula: dual ...

In addition to a classic version of "O ...

by Stan Getz

The Art of Duo (2004) more music like this

by Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto

Art of Duo was issued only in Japan. It is simply a two-fer of Stan Getz's early bossa recordings; the first with Joćo Gilberto entitled simply, Getz/Gilberto. The second disc in the package is Jazz Samba with Charlie Byrd. Together they create an inarguable historical document, and they feature fantastically remastered sound. The problem is, that ...
