Our Take

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66's latest album, Herb Alpert Presentin, is a delightful blend of groovy rhythms and smooth vocals that transport you straight to the beaches of Brazil. The album kicks off with the infectious track "Mas Que Nada," which sets the tone for what's to come - a fun and laid-back journey through the sounds of bossa nova and samba.

Mendes' masterful piano playing and the sultry vocals of the Brasil '66 ensemble create a lush, tropical soundscape that is impossible not to bob your head to. The standout track, "The Look of Love," showcases Mendes' talents as a composer and arranger, with its lush strings and catchy melody.

But it's not all sunshine and samba on Herb Alpert Presentin. The album also delves into more introspective and melancholic territory on tracks like "Batacuda" and "Chove Chuva," adding depth and nuance to an already rich musical tapestry.

Overall, Mendes & Brasil '66 deliver a fantastic album that is sure to delight fans of bossa nova and Latin jazz. Herb Alpert Presentin is a perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a summer barbecue with friends. So grab a caipirinha, kick back, and let Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 take you on a musical journey to the sunny shores of Brazil.
