 Excellent musical blend of jazz, samba and rock. November 20, 1999

This CD provides a wonderful snapshot of a truly unique kind of music. Sergio Mendes captured the strange mood of a genuinely bizarre era in which musical experimentation flourished and no combination of sound was considered too outlandish. Mendes and his talented group managed to combine elements of jazz, rock, pop and samba, creating what can only be described as an exotic listening experience. It's a shame that all of their various albums aren't available on CD. Whenever I hear their music, I'm back in the '60s, when everything seemed possible and there were no limits on the creative mind.

A REFLECTION ON A LESS COMPLICATED TIME. KICK BACK AND RELAX. THIS CD SENDS YOU ON A MINI VACATION AND LETS YOU PLAY IN THE SURF & SAND. YOU CAN DAYDREAM WHILE LISTENING TO "SO MANY STARS" AND REVITALIZE YOURSELF WITH "MASIS QUE NADA". DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, AND GET THIS ONE, YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

I have just returned from visiting my childhood with this CD! Oh, what memories. Sergio Mendes music is one of a kind. Always fell good after listening to it. Buy it.....you won't be sorry

I first heard this album when I was a little kid during the 60s. I loved it then and it still sounds great today. The vocals are as smooth as satin and the music makes you want to sing along and dance. It's sort of addictive to listen to and it makes me want to buy more of their collections, since I remember so many more songs that weren't on this CD. In fact, the only flaw I could find with this samba/pop collection is that it wasn't longer!!

I used to hear this LP coming from my older sister's room when I was growing up, and for years, never thought their sound was with the times. What did I know, just a kid! But, many years later, (at the age of 40) I bought this CD, and have hardly stopped playing it since. Every song is so clear, the arrangements so innovative, the vocals often blend into one voice....the music is magic. If you're even just a little curious about Latin jazz/pop/vocal, get this CD. It will surely turn you on to Brazillian/Latin beats & smooth vocals, all with a lovely optimistic kick. There is nothing like this compilation, musically; it's like sunlight coming out of the speakers. Every song is a favorite.
