The Late Brazilian jazz pianist and band leader Sergio Mendes, who passed away this month, was best known for fronting the Bossa Nova group Brazil 66 who had there first big hit with the Brazilian song Mais Que Nada sung in Portuguese it more or less translates as "Much of Nothing." It was great to see and hear all the tributes to Sergio Mendes and his music. But I was flummoxed that there was never any mention of his truly breakthrough group Brasil 65. Yes before Brasil 66 there was Brasil 65 and for me they were the most exciting and authentic musicians doing Brazilian jazz at that time.
This is a special episode of Return To Vinyls. Remembering Sergio Mendes. Before his breakout recordings with Brazil 66 there was Brazil 65 and it is every bit as good.
This episode is dedicated to James Green, audio artist and friend who also was a fan of Sergio Mendes. We saw Brasil 66 in concert together. My experiences with Jim have been a constant flow throughout much of this series of podcasts. Rest in peace brother.
