Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 by Sergio Mendes (CD, Sep-2006, Verve USA)

As I turn fifty this year this disk was a great find. I remember the Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 sounds emanating from the classic console stereo that my parents had as well as from their friends poolside parties. The remastered disk still sounds classic to me and the music evokes a fresh sound of the sixties with the advent of the latin elements fused with contemporary sounds of the day such as the Beatles.
I am even making a copy for my mother who turned 75 this June. Still good after all these years.
