Excellent .......2007-07-04

I found what I was looking for at Amazon.com. I had been hunting it for a while. I ordered it and it came quickly. It was exactly as stated and I am now happy. thanks

Like a small box of expensive and delicious candies!.......2007-06-12

The sound is the best I've heard on this album, with rhyhmic percussions that make you want to move. Consider Day Tripper, the Beatles tune, where it's lead guitar lines are transferred to a latin-tinged mambo type rhythmic pattern. Many of their favorite songs are here: Mais Que Nada, The Joker, One Note Samba etc. There is much more presence heard on this album than ever before, with clean and spacious highs and lows. The only negative comment I have is that at only a bit over 25 minutes long with only 10 short cuts, this is like tasting a small box of expensive, classy and delicious Brazilian candies. Give me more! more! Why didn't they add some outakes? But......those 25 minutes are pure ecstasy.

Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66.......2007-05-13

I found this particular CD to be excellent to listen to. It reminds me very much of the mid 60's, the artist's singing is of high quality and the samba music sounds are great.

I recommend this cd to all people who love brasilian music.

Bossa nova brilliance!.......2007-03-02

From the frenetic opening song 'Mais Que Nada,' to the comforting 'Berimbau,' this record is a surefire winner. If you're new to Mendes and his five million incarnations of 'Brasil (insert year here),' then this album just might be the perfect starter, as 'Mais' is no doubt his best-known hit single. Of course, you could always check out the NEW version of that song on his new 'Timeless' album with Black-Eyed Peas, but if you're not crazy about the funky urban reinvention (as am I), then by all means check this original one out. It'll melt all your worries away within seconds!

Great sound & performance; but so-so packaging.......2007-01-22

I would submit this review for any and all of the recent A&M and Verve releases from the Brasil '66, beginning with Segio Mendes's debut disc (here) with the band. Unlike his contemporaries from the post-Bossa Nova wave in American jazz circles, Sergio Mendes carved a whole new genre, stylizing Brasilian sounds with jazz, and accesible popular tunes of the period. These works were greatly accentuated by the amazing vocal talents of Lani Hall, which breath new life in this pristine re-mastering. On another level, however, the running lengths of these discs are bothersome. At just over 30 minutes, it is hard to imagine why any record label could justify not issuing two-for-ones. At a retail cost of 5 or 6 bucks, there would be no room for complaint. But at $9 to $12, it seems unlikely these discs will be in print for very long.

Bossa-Beautiful!.......2007-07-25

This is one of my favorite discs from the Capital Record's "Ultra Lounge" series.

Absolutely amazing.

My best loved cut is Rubin Mitchell's version of "Mas Que Nada."
Just try to sit still!

Flying down to Rio? No need to--that bossa nova beat is in orbit around my earlobes..........2007-06-17

Bossa nova music was introduced to the world primarily by Antonio Carlos Jobim; and we are forever in debt to him for his gift to us. Bossa nova music exudes elegance, sophistication and a soothing rhythm that could bleach all neuroses right out of your system! This CD proves it.

The CD track set opens with "So Danço Samba (Jazz 'N' Samba)." Wanda De Sah sings the Portuguese lyrics to perfection and the musical arrangements makes great use of the horns, piano and percussion. The overall effect stuns me with its beauty; and I was left yearning for more once the number ended.

I wasn't disappointed. "Meditation (Meditacáo)" is something you may well recognize when you hear it even though you might not recognize this tune by name alone. Laurindo Almeida and The Bossa Nova All Stars perform this number with a smooth as silk approach that leaves you believing you're in a heaven on Earth. Terrific! Billy May & His Orchestra perform a wonderful rendition of the very romantic tune entitled "The Look Of Love;" May's arrangement uses great use of the horns as his arrangements always did; and the percussion plays without a superfluous note to enhance the beauty of "The Look Of Love."

"One Note Samba/Recado Bossa Nova" fuses together these two melodies on one track for a great effect; the romantic and sophisticated approach to this blend reflects good judgment as it oozes elegance, too. "Recado Bossa Nova" picks up the tempo and it makes good sense to make "Recado Bossa Nova" an extension of "One Note Samba" instead of the other way around.

"Misirlou" makes great use of both the guitar and the percussion; and Si Zentner's rendition of "Desafinado" uses the horns beautifully, especially with the solo horn at the beginning of this number. "Baia" has a sensual, romantic flavor to it as well.

"The Girl From Ipanema/Manha De Carnival" uses a person's whistling instead of vocals--very creative! "Más Que Nada" has an early 1960s rock flavor to it that surprises you; it works very well.

The CD ends strong with a bonus track of the great Julie London performing the classic "Fly Me To The Moon." Julie never misses a beat and the musical arrangement complements her vocals to perfection.

The liner notes include the song credits; and R. J. Smith contributes an informative, thoughtful essay about bossa nova. Bob Norberg at Capitol Recording Studios did a great job of digitally remastering these numbers, too.

I highly recommend this CD for fans of lounge music; and people who enjoy that bossa nova beat from the 1960s will love every minute of this great album!

Enjoy!

LOVE IT!.......2007-05-13

Love this kind of music - can't get enough - have most all of the CDs. Excellent New Jersey-based company with excellent foresight and retro-understanding for the best party and jazz combos. Excellent choice for any kind of day or evening, party or relaxation time.

Real class.......2007-02-23

A real classy entry in the Ultra-Lounge series. Smooth, relaxing sounds with the added bonus of Julie London's wonderfully swinging, pizzicato-laden "Fly Me To The Moon".

I love the Ultra-Lounge series........2006-12-10

The sound quality of the Ultra-Lounge series is excellent, even though the songs were recorded mostly in the 50's and 60's. Capitol Records packs each CD with carefully chosen tracks consistent with the theme of the particular volume in the series. Many of the selections that appear here aren't available elsewhere, either because the original album on which the song appeared is out of print, or because the song was issued as a single and never collected in an album. A few 'previously unreleased' tracks also appear here. This series is a wonderful introduction to the music of a by-gone era, and each album includes detailed notes on each track (artist, writers, date recorded, how released, etc.). I heartily recommend it to anyone who has an interest in this type of music.

Great.......2007-01-01

For anyone who remembers this group, this is a great CD. Timeless in my opinion.

A great cd to listen to while puffin' a sweet cigar..........2006-08-16

This cd with the acception of With a Little Help From My Friends and the even more watered down Like A Lover, is a classic. The Frog is by far the album's highlight and is sophistocated bossa nove(Brazilian jazz), tje rest of the album is more or less superior bossa nova, some more on the jazz side, some on the pop(Friends and Lover) side. The album has a nice flow and the songs sung in Portuguese are usually the highlights, however The Look of Love is a lounge classic. This is a great cd for smokin' big ole' cigars to. I recently enjoyed a Phillies Blunt Banana flavored cigar to this, it went perfectly.

Beautful music.......2006-08-08

I first heard this music in the '60's when it came out. I loved it then, and I love it now. I am so happy to have this music back in my life.

Look Around Is Great!!.......2005-10-25

Wow...this CD is great! What a treat to listen again to tunes that I heard as a kid in the late '60's and into the 70's. I can remember older siblings playing the original vinyl Lp of this album. And Lani Hall...one of the best-quality(and sexiest) female voices I've ever heard! Her rendition of So Many Stars on this CD is without equal. They don't make albums like this one anymore...what a shame. I would recommend this CD to anybody that enjoys brasilian-flavored music with just a touch of jazz/pop thrown in for good measure. You wouldn't regret the purchase.

Bachelor Pad Music at its best.......2005-07-09

Very nice album of "Bachelor pad music" a la Stereolab. Very enjoyable though as usual with SM the second half is not as good as the first. Excellent arrangements, more fleshed out than the combo from the debut album, with strings used to lush out the very melodic music.

The beginning of a 40-year-love affair with Mendes's sound.......2007-06-10

Besides being the first Sergio Mendes album in my collection, "Fool on the Hill" is probably the SECOND album that I ever bought with my hard-earned 1960's allowance.

That said, the release remains one of my favorite of both my childhood and adult years. With two hit covers (the title cut and "Scarborough Fair), along with scorchers like "Laia Ladaia (Reza"and "Upa, Neguinho," the album is just as exciting today as it was four decades ago. Though the latter tracks are sung in Spanish, that fact is not a deterrent to appreciating and enjoying them and others.

However, the best track is the ballad "When Summer Turns to Snow." This is an evocative tune and offers Mendes one of the few times he has taken the lead vocals...and he does a darn good job at it, too!

another gem from the Brasil 66 collection...........2007-06-02

If you are looking for a great example of latin/fusion from the mid to late 1960s, I highly reccomend FOOL ON THE HILL, by Brasil 66. Brazilian bandleader Sergio Mendes led this band, made up of both American and Brazilian singers. This included Lani Hall, one of the most well-loved singers of samba and pop music (made famous through the popularity of this group). The result of this fusion of Brazilian and 1960s style lounge music? It's beautifully balanced with East meets West sensiblity. If you haven't heard their take on The Beatles' "Fool on the Hill," then you don't know what you're missing. What's more, "Scarborough Fair" (a traditional song made famous by Simon & Garfunkel) is just beautiful here, with swaying rhythms (reminiscent of Rio De Janeiro on a hazy, lazy afternoon). There are some other songs, in Portuguese, but the group is really great in both languages!

Sergio Mendez aficionados.......2007-04-05

Fool on the Hill by Sergio Mendes/Brazil 66, is a delectable collection of the groups finest offerings. The arrangements, vocals and sheer artistry of the group define one of the top Brazilian artists of our time. Simply a pleasure !

Sergio Mendes is a genius.......2006-09-05

It's nice for Sergio Mendes to have all this attention again because of the revamped Mas Que Nada, but I think there will be little room for discussion when you compare it to the brilliant original, which isn't polluted by obnoxious rapping. His whole Brazil '66-discography is amazing: this is timeless, sweet, slightly exotic music that's upbeat with a hint of melancholy. So the same goes for this great record, which leans on two very good covers, but the originals are what's special here. The perfect blend between 60's pop and bossanova, sweet but not sappy, cheerful but not annoying, and always this sweet, glowing, after-summer vibe. He's the man.

Smooth as Silk.......2006-05-16

I recently decided I have been buying too much new music on CDs, and not listening to my large collection of great music on LPs. One of the first LPs on my platter (for the first time in years) was this great outting by Brazil 66. I couldn't believe how exciting, timeless, and classy (and even sexy) this music is. The singing and the instrumentation blend perfectly. Some of the rhythms get complex, yet they come off as smooth as silk in the hands of these great musicians. If you still don't know this music, this would be a great starting place. It is definitely one of their best. Also, though tame by today's standards, the cover of the LP once unfolded (and I presume the CD) is interesting--to say the least. I might also add that the range of sound in the music of Brazil 66 really shows off a good stereo system.

Great american pop and latin mix.......2007-02-09

During the late 60's as america looked for an escape from the the news of war and violence they turned toward latin music.Artist like sergio mendes and herb alpert came out with music that mixed latin music with american pop.This album came out in 1969 when the interest in latin music started to wane and was not as popular as earlier albums by Brazil 66.My favorite songs are Wichita lineman with it's great vocal arrangment and YE-ME-LE.Both of these songs were performed on the tv show music scene and are available on dvd.

A high energry treat from beginning to end.......2007-01-17

"Ye-Me-Le" was almost a return to the original group sound heard on "Herb Alpert Presents" and "Equinox" and, in my opinion, is a much better album than its 2 predecessors, "Fool on the Hill" and "Crystal Illusion".

The album starts out with a bang with a cover of Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" that puts the original to shame. Mendes follows this with a mind blowing cover of "Norwegian Wood". Very seldom does a cover of a Beatles song come even close to the original, but this one does. "Moanin'" and "Masquerade" are great high energy songs combining a touch of R&B with the bossa nova. The title song sounds like a Brazilian street carnival with the band approaching from a distance and then suddenly exploding right in front of you. This song is guaranteed to make anyone smile. The album finishes with a great cover of "What The World Needs Now".

This is indeed a group album with all members participating and orchestrations kept to a tolerable level. Mendes and company sound like they really enjoyed recording these songs and they are a treat to listen to.

The Original and the Best.......2007-01-04

Ye-Me-Le is the best album put out by Sergio Mendez and Brasil '66. Lani Hall and Karen Philipp on vocals really brought the Beatles song "Norwegian Wood" to life and they are terrific with the Jim Webb classic "Wichita Lineman". If you like Latin American rhythms this CD is for you.

Customer Reviews:

One of my favorite all time albums.......2007-04-06

I have always enjoyed this recording. The orchestrations by Dave Grusin are fantastic and shows why he was in demand for movie and television scores. The song selection is very eclectic from easy tempo to fast tempo, from soft to dramatic. The selections "Dock Of The Bay" and "Pretty World" got the most airplay as singles but one could sometimes hear "Crystal Illusions" in it's entirety on AM radio. "Viola" is a beautiful tune with a romantic flair. It contains a lot of basic percussion and guitar and Grusin's arrangement fits it beautifully. "Dois Dias" harkens back to "Roda" from "Look Around" with it's fast tempo. "You Stepped Out Of A Dream" might have been a good choice for a single with it's uptempo beat but it languished as an album cut. "Song Of No Regrets" and the title cut both have a very dramatic flair to them and, along with "Salt Sea" and "Empty Faces," have lyrics by Lani Hall. Lani was writing lyrics starting with the album "Look Around." Lani continued writing lyrics for some of the Brazillian writers but more appeared on this album that any of the other Brasil'66 recordings.Even though "Dock Of The Bay" and "Pretty World" got a tremendous amount of airplay in 1969, both failed to chart into the Top 40. The latter is my favorite selection from the album. It combines the key elements of all the member's instrumentation and Grusin's backing arrangements. I still have the LP record of this and now that it is on CD, my Brasil '66 collection,with the exception of "Stillness" is complete. This is a good solid purchase.

Come on Sergio, Where is the rest of the group?.......2007-01-17

First of all, this album consists of excellent songs with beautiful arrangements. Unfortunately, it is not what is is purported to be. This is supposed to be an album by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. For the most part, it is not. What it is instead is an album of solos by Lani Hall with orchestra backings. There are only 2 songs on the whole album that sound like Brasil '66. They are "Dock of the Bay" and "Pretty World", which were previously released as singles. With the possible exception of "You Stepped Out of a Dream", I cannot hear Karen Phillip on any of the other songs. If she or any of the other group members were included in these recordings, they are hopelessly buried under all the orchestrations. I am not saying that Lani Hall wasn't a good singer, but I do think she was pretty much a glory hog. I remember hearing her being interviewed on the radio sometime in the mid-70's. The interviewer asked her what it was like blending her sound with the rest of the group. She replied in no uncertain terms that she was the "Lead Singer" and she didn't blend with the group, the group blended with her.

This album reminds me of a lot of mid to late 60's albums where people thought they were getting recordings by their favorite groups when they were really getting the lead singer with studio musicians.

If you are looking for a Lani Hall solo album, this will do nicely. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a real Brasil '66 album, pass this by and go for "Herb Alpert Presents", "Equinox" or "Pais Tropical".

Customer Reviews:

Mendes Magic.......2006-11-17

Essentially, Mendes captures the best of the oddly complex, yet deceptively simple, emotions of the 60's with his Latin tones and international rhythms. "Scarborough Fair", for example, never sounded better--with all due respect to the original duo, of course. "The Look of Love" is another track that touches chords of heart and song that could be woven into the sound track of any movie and complement romantic images of the trash and truth of a New York City street scene (anyone of a million already out there or being dreamed up as this is being written), or create an uneasy current of sweet underscoring as the ironic sadness of a jungle war scene swayed to Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" in "Good Morning, Viet Nam!"

Unfortunately, the Broadway and Beatles bits, and some of the other basic stuff Sergio does, can stay trapped in the dust-covered sound systems of those ancient, smokey-smelling elevators, no?

No matter. Mendes can still draw magic from the emotional memory. May still do so for many more years to come. Enjoy then and now, and everything between, with a little of this "Essential Mendes" magic.

no more rap versions..........PLEASE!.......2006-08-28

You heard the Mas Que Nada rap version?.........and thought: Hey I recognise that sound, but then: It used to sound smoother and without the rap crap?! Well, good! Welcome to the original recording of mas que nada, and many more top songs from Sergio and his gang. This album will last a life time without boring you, and it is as smooth as the brazilian coffee!

The Essential Sergio Mendes.......2005-10-07

This great music. It is wonderful to have the old music re-issued on such a pristine format. What a fabulous way to bring out music from the 60's

Heavenly!.......2005-06-19

If you like Bossa Nova and Sergio Mendes, DONT'T HESITATE to get this CD! It is very comprehensive with all the most beautiful songs in one package. The recording is excellent - clear, warm and dynamic. Forget about all the other albums - trust me. Enjoy!
