Three discs into her acclaimed solo career, it's a no-brainer that the Brazilian pop charms of Bebel Gilberto will conjure a slew of beach-inspired adjectives. "Refreshing," "wind-swept" and "sun-kissed" spring to mind. Momento continues Gilberto's trend of crafting sultry scenes of afternoon delight via tunes that both adhere to traditions and sound ultra-modern. But she also mixes things up a bit in the process. Gilberto's sensual delivery--featured here in English and in Portuguese--hovers in and around each song, more an extension of the rhythms than the showpiece. Make no mistake, though: Gilberto's vocal work is a thing of beauty. She again blends bossa nova, samba, pop and electronica flourishes, but no one genre overpowers any other. Liliting guitars give way to pulsing percussion and horns, which crash against loops and samples. Gilberto coos amid the catchy club flavor of "Bring Back the Love," and the moonlit "Close to You" recalls Sade. The daughter of Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto even tackles Cole Porter's "Night and Day," recasting it as a hushed moment of bossa loveliness. And the title track is a collage of sonic secrets and memories. Perfect for a patio brunch--or an evening under the stars. --Joey Guerra

Backdrop for Romance .......2007-08-01
Music can transport, intoxicate, induce dreams and inspire delicious fantasies, ripe for enacting. Bebel Gilberto achieves this and more with the release of her third effort, "Momento".
The sensual, slow burn of her vocals and rythym allow the listener to get carried away to another place, a place where time stands still, begging one to abandon all earthly cares in favor of romantic splendor. "Momento", the opening track and CD title, peaks into Gilberto's world, with a poetic recount of pieces of her personal puzzle. "Bring Back the Love" includes a hushed moan in the background, with a steady beat and almost chant like command....
"Close to You" is about as sensual as anything you are apt to hear these days. It absolutely implores the listener to drop the material concerns to beckon one's lover..... sexy and sensual indeed.
Gilbeto's take on the standard " Night and Day" breathes new life into a romantic classic. She whispers through the urgency of this song with an understated passion, leading one to believe that the object of affection will receive the boil over of her desire. Such delivery is what illustrates a mood, making for true "mood" music.
The remaining tunes are at turns festive, contemplative and always engaging. Give way to the temptation; Bebel Gilberto offers a sublime summer album that is guarenteed to satisfy.
Bebel Gilberto does it again!.......2007-07-30
Along with Ceu she is one of my favorite Brazilian singers and have to say, bought this one more hoping for the best. After her previous releases I thought to myself "Well it cant get better than this" and while maybe I can't say she has improved this is still up there with the rest of her releases.
Soft vocals over an almost African rhythm that just blend together so well. Yeh this is quality lounge music, this is music for the summer, long lazy days having a drink with friends, just being alone after a hard day or a long drive.
Probably the only thing I dislike on this CD are when she sings in English. Give me that Portuguese any day!
Sweet Sounds.......2007-07-28
The music of Bebel Gilberto is capable of helping us feel happy and even curious. I grew particularly fond of the tunes Momento, Azul, Os Novos Yorkinos, and Cadê Você? for the energy, harmony, poetry, and of course, Gilberto's beautiful voice. Unlike the Girl from Ipenema, Joao Gilberto's 'insensitive' beauty, this album introduces us to a woman willing to share her life stories with the help of guitars, drums, and violins. Like that Girl, she remains unapproachable. We can only admire her from afar. This sad remoteness could be helped by learning the incredible Brazilian Portugese language, at least well enough to know whether she is talking about love, life, or the pursuit of happiness. I know she is not talking about love lost. Ah, that is what is unique about her music. It is always about adding to love, never losing it.
Delightful............2007-07-22
This is a thoroughly joyous album. Joao's kid is, once again, in fine form. [Bebel is not Astrud's child]. This is pure sensory experience, sexual without being sexually explicit [after all, this is Latin jazz, not rap]. Happy intermixture of Portugese and English, and I think Bebel's English is pretty good.
Most of these tracks won't be familiar to an American audience, though Bebel does a fine job with Cole Porter's "Night And Day". Bebel is no Ella, but then Ella was not Bebel, either. We really don't need "familiar" with albums that are about feeling. There are several singers of this genre around currently; Bebel is certainly as good as the best. Grab this album for the joy of it.
The Whole Exceeds the Sum of its Parts.......2007-07-20
When I first listened to this, my immediate impression was that this was a 3-star album, meaning I wasn't going to review it. But I have to admit, after having listened to it edge to edge a few times, that the c.d. has grown on me. It has an hypnotic effect. It is one whose whole exceeds the sum of its parts.
This is a Brazilian pop-jazz-bossa c.d. Bebel Gilberto, daughter of the immortal Joao and Astrud, sings with a very breathy tone--not as breathy as Gabriela Anders, but not as solid as Maria Rita or Flora Purim, either. The c.d. is heavy on acoustic guitar and percussion. She sings in English and Portuguese--and on some tracks, in both languages.
There is no one track that truly stands out. But after awhile, you notice the effective coloration of strings, the cello, the bass trombone, the alto flutes and the tenor sax. It all sneaks up on you quite subtly.
This is a perfect c.d. to download into your I-pod, and cool with on the beach while sunbathing, drinking wine coolers, and watching "the girls from Ipanema" as they pass by. RC

Guitarist Charlie Byrd was invited to travel and play in Brazil during a cultural goodwill tour sponsored by the Kennedy administration in 1961. He was completely enamoured by the music, and when he returned, he headed straight for the recording studio to make the now classic Jazz Samba. Collaborating with Stan Getz on tenor sax and backed by a band that included Gene Byrd (bass, guitar), Keter Betts (bass), and Buddy Deppenschmidt and Bill Reichenbach (drums), Byrd forged a new and brilliant sound. American record companies were to churn out hundreds of watered bossa-pop albums that have since given the style its lounge-addled image, but this album stands as a tribute to the vitality and adaptability of jazz. --Louis Gibson

Swirling, beautiful bossa nova-jazz.......2007-07-30
Jazz is all about being evocative- the greatest examples of the genre have always been the ones that take the listener to another place, that have expressed emotions and ideas with uncanny accuracy. In essence, the best jazz recordings feel like they're coming from somewhere inside you, born out of your dreams and private thoughts and inner longings. Which, I guess, is why I'm so fond of Jazz Samba. The album's warm, lyrical tone instantly paints a portrait of some sun-splashed and utterly peaeful Brazilian beach, a hidden little paradise by a crystal ocean. But there's more to it than that. Jazz Samba's lush textures and instantly hypnotic imagery are downright theraputic. When you're stressed out, angry, or depressed, this is the ideal record to put on; the hypnotic, shuffling bass line that opens "Desafinado" casts a spell that isn't lifted until Getz's gorgeous, velvety solo at the end of "Bahia." The music radiates so much warmth and joy in the meantime, wiping away just about every single one of your worries and fears. It really is a neat trick. Of course, like any great piece of music, Jazz Samba is much more than music. Getz and Byrd make for a formidable team, bridging the gap between jazz's emotive cool and bossa nova's swinging sensuality with irresisitable finesse. The music is simultaneously dreamy and upbeat, hypnotic and energetic, beautiful and propulsive. Basically, it's a great album, and one that belongs in every jazz collection.
Bossa nova music that dips, swings, boasts fine harmonic structures--and an infectious rhythmic pulse !!!.......2007-06-19
Bossa nova music was created largely by Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto in the late 1950s and early 1960s. When Charlie Byrd and his trio heard it, they wanted to make a bossa nova album of their own. The result is this wonderful CD.
The CD track set opens with an extended version of "Desafinado." The guitar gets plenty of air time in bossa nova music; and Charlie Byrd's guitar solo stuns me with its beauty and sensitivity. "Desafinado" plays with a few key changes to enhance the quality of the number; and the percussion works very well, too.
"Samba Dees Days" picks up the tempo considerably; and this ought to brighten any party you play this at! Stan Getz plays tenor sax to perfection; and Buddy Deppenschmidt along with Bill Reichenbach play the drums very, very well. "Samba Triste" is the only truly mournful sounding samba on this album; the minor keys work very well as Stan's melancholy solo enhances the forlorn flavor to "Samba Triste."
"Samba De Uma Nota Só (One Note Samba)" exudes elegance and style; when you listen to this track the fusion of jazz and samba is very evident. "E Luxo Só" reverts to a faster tempo that really makes you want to get up and dance wherever you are; and "Bahia (Baía)" concludes the album with a silky elegance that is singularly beautiful.
There is one extra number. The bonus track is the 45 rpm issue of "Desafinado." Naturally, the shorter version of this number doesn't provide us with the luxurious meanderings of the full length track. Nevertheless, it interests the listener to hear what the band chose to include--and exclude--when, under time constraints, they had to deliver the number fast yet with all the brightness of the full rendition. You won't be disappointed.
The liner notes include the original liner notes by Dom Cerulli; and there are great black and white photos of the band members playing. John Litweiler contributes an informative essay about the creation of the album as well. The quality of the sound is excellent.
I highly recommend this CD for any fan of bossa nova music; and people who enjoy jazz with a samba twist will cherish this one for ages to come.
Old School.......2007-01-17
This CD was all I expected and more. It was soothing without being muzac, and there was plenty of latin for spice. I was raised with the old school style of jazz and this really fit the bill!
I'd give it 6 stars if I could!!!.......2006-09-16
Stan Getz is in this sax player's opinion the best jazz saxophone player that has ever been recorded. His sense of melody is superb. He hides his amazing technical prowess, makes it sound effortless, and never gets in the way of the melody. Nobody else even came close to his melodic improvisations.
I've worn out a few Jazz Samba LPs and now own it on CD. It's a timeless classic. It has perhaps the definitive version of "One Note Samba" on it. "Desifinado" "Bahia", "O Pato" also shine very brightly. In fact, there are no tracks on this CD that are less than superb.
Stan played a lot of different jazz styles, from Cool School to Post Bop to Bossa Nova. And although he is not from Brasil, Antonio Carlos Jobim wrote a Bossa tune honoring him because his "voice" fit the mood so perfectly. Of all the things Stan did a good job on, Bossa was perhaps his forte. And this album along with "Jazz Samba Encore" are two of his best Bossa albums ever.
I'd give it 6 stars in a 1 to 5 star rating system. It's a "desert island" disk.

As you might expect, Timeless isn't your parents' Sergio Mendes. Take "Mais Que Nada," the opener from that topselling staple of post-60s, post-bossa, near-kitsch Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66: Greatest Hits. Here it's no simple, slinky groove. The Black-Eyed Peas are along for the bumpin' ride. What it amounts to is the same intercultural collision that happened when bossa nova met jazz and pop via Stan Getz's tenor sax, except here the meeting is between the lounge and, presumably, the street. John Legend and India.Arie keep the session on a downtempo, neo Brazilian vibe on "Please Baby Don't" and the title track (respectively). Once those are tunes end, though, it's back to the bump and the beats and the irresistible party vibe of the set. Don't fret, though, as the Peas keep things light enough to trigger innocent headbobs and chilled out dance steps. Just as you might hear Timeless and agree that it ain't your parents' Sergio, your parents can also hear will.i.am's and the Peas's pivotal roles and say that it's not their kids' Black-Eyed Peas, either --Andrew Bartlett
Description
Timeless is the magnificent new album by the legendary Sergio Mendes. Produced by and featuring Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, this album is a wholly original synthesis of music from the man who--40 years ago--brought Brazil 66 and "Mas Que Nada" to the world. Timeless beautifully blends the urban culture of Brazil, samba and bossa nova with the urban culture of America, hip hop and rap, the results of which are truly spectacular.
Putting together the project, Will and Sergio, of course, brought in the Black Eyed Peas. They also recruited some of the biggest urban-pop artists of the last several decades, each a Sergio fan, to contribute to various tracks. Featured artists include Erykah Badu, Justin Timberlake, India.Arie, Q-Tip, John Legend, Jill Scott, Stevie Wonder, and members of the Roots and Jurassic 5.

As good for dancing as it is for drinking martinis!.......2007-07-27
This CD is just what I expected, great "modernization" of Sergio Mendes' ideas, cool and easy-listening rhythms that make this album as good for dancing as it is for drinking martinis at a Sunset Lounge Bar
Street meets the bossa beat---4.5 stars.......2007-07-02
I didn't like Sergio growing up in the day, I was a Motown fan and couldn't get down with bossa nova or latin beats. "Timeless" manages to keep some of the sound of the old Brazil 66 and add some new flavor via Stevie Wonder who was one of my faves back then. Of course, they've brought in John Legend with some new soul. Then, they top that off by bringing in the Black Eyed Peas, who I'd never have thought of, and the concept just works.
Loved it!!.......2007-05-16
This album is a classic! My kids actually introduced me to the album. I'm a Sergio Mendes fan from way back. Buy it!!!
I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-10
I am a 52 y/o old fart but once was a cool college d.j. I am not a big rap/hip-hop fan but it sounds fantastic combined with a latin groove. When I was spinning LP's in the late 70's, we thought Sergio Mendes had "sold-out" to pop. What did we know? His music, whether "roots" or "pop" is absolutely beautiful. I admire the creativity of the artists who have made the Timeless CD worthy of its title.
Fantastico!! Eu amo Brasil!.......2007-05-08
This album is off the hook! I never knew this hidden gem was so good. It is amazing what Will.I.Am and Sergio did. There are so many songs that are my favs such as Mas Que Nada, The Frog, that Samba Song, and etc. There is a great compilation of rap, samba, bossa nova, singing, and etc. Black Eye Peas, Q-Tip, Black Thought (Roots), John Legend, and etc. makes this a wonderful compilation and celeration of the beautiful Brazilian culture.
My wife is Brazilian and we love the album so much we even played some of it at our wedding reception. This album should be selling a lot more and deserve worldwide acclaim. Sergio Mendes "Timeless" is truly the best kept secret...you gotta listen to this!

This eclectic compilation shows the syncopated and seductive evolution of the African-derived Brazilian samba and its offspring, the bossa nova. The CD features a new-wave series of moods and grooves tailor-made for the 21st century. There's angel-voiced Rosa Passos and her silky version of the Ary Barroso/Luiz Peixoto song "E Luxo So." Guitarist-vocalist Márcio Faraco's remake of Noel Rosa's samba-canção "Feitiço da Vila" is just as tasteful. The elegant, classically tinged Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, led by cellist Jacques Morelenbaum, skillfully mixes Ravel-like harmonies with Afro-Brazilian beats on "Eu e o Meu Amor/Lamento No Morro" from the film Black Orpheus. The London-based group Da Lata swings the sacred syncopations of "Cores" in a club-friendly, secular rendition. And the talented Moreno Veloso, son of the great Caetano Veloso, turns in an intimate and atmospheric version of Olodum's "Deusa do Amor" (Goddess of Love). These tracks show that the bossa nova and the samba can still give us new musical surprises. --Eugene Holley Jr.

love it!.......2007-07-14
i use this cd in my pilates classes and inevitably someone ALWAYS asks me what it is. it is great music to listen to while relaxing, exercising, cleaning the house, having a dinner party, you name it. i have many putumayo cds and i rank this in the top 5.
Absolutely wonderful.......2007-05-11
This instantly became one of my all-time favorite CDs. Like other reviewers, it makes me think of summer.... warm breezes, happy afternoon naps in the hammock, a long walk in the moonlight. I usually combine this with a little Brasil '66 and it's perfect, just perfect. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Buy it, without hesitation.
Sweet set of new Brazilian music.......2007-03-06
The level of quality in Putumayo's world music samplers has been steadily rising over the last few years. The label scores another hit with this excellent collection of sleek modern balladeers and Brazilian pop innovators... Included are Da Lata, Rossa Passos, Jussara Silveira, Rita Ribero, and my personal hero, Moreno Veloso (the son of the great Caetano Veloso). There are also several less well known artists on here, but the level of quality is consistently very high. This is a really nice, really listenable album... Highly recommended for anyone who wants to check out some more recent Brazilian material. (This review originally posted in 2002)
This compilation effected my samba selection more than any other.......2007-01-15
I have gone on to buy more of the artists work on this compilation than any other. I heard it at first in a store, wanted it immediately and asked them if I could see the disk and scratched out the names on a paper then typed them into amazon and bought many of them, am still buying them.
Putomayo selections are always satisfying they really seem to have a finger on the pulse of regions, this compilation is no exception
Like instant summertime!.......2006-06-09
I love this album - a great mix of artists. The only track I don't much care for is #3. When I play this CD, I feel an instant sense of warmth and summertime - I don't have a lot of music from this genre, but this is a great CD to start with or expand your collection. The artists included are fantastic.

An awesome album!.......2007-08-06
One of the very best LPs in the bossa nova field, Sergio Mendes made a name for himself and Brasil '66 with their first album for A & M. "Mas Que Nada" is an unqualified classic while "Slow Hot Wind" is as sultry as it gets. On the amusing side is "One Note Samba/Spanish Flea" which somehow has never left my mind, and Lani Hall was the perfect female vocalist for this and several more albums to come. This is a cant miss if you love 60's music, period!
Excellent .......2007-07-04

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!

Customer Reviews:
Great Brazilian Music.......2007-05-20
This CD provides you with some great tunes; danceable, easy to the ears, romantic and very sensual. The songs take me away and place me in the heart of Brazil; the land of high soaring spirits. Would highly recommend it.
One of the best.......2007-05-14
This is probably my favorite album of all time. I purchased it about 8 years ago and listen to it regularly. Can't understand a single lyric from it (a few excepted) but it remains one of the best I own. It is soulful, enchanting, exciting, and mysterious all at once.
If you are in the mood for something different that will grow on you, try this one. You won't regret it. I promise.
For something similar and equally intoxicating, try Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave" or "The Composer of Desafinado, Plays". Both fantastic choices.
Bossa Nova.......2007-03-29
I enjoy Bossa Nova, beautiful music I have enjoyed all the cd's, I have purchased.
Bossa Nova Brasil.......2006-10-29
I play this CD frequently. Love the choices of artists and songs. Shows off the legacy of some of the artists as well. Would recommend it to the many fans of Bossa Nova and Brazilian music in general.
Good Bossa Nova and MPB.......2004-04-13
I picked this up several years ago, and what a great disc this is. It's got some old classics on it and some pretty rare tracks too. At the time I picked it up, this was actually a series. There is another cd titled: "Samba Brasil" that has a similar cover, but is white and green.
The artists on this are fantastic. From Gal Costa do Vinicius De Moraes, you're taken on a real trip through some of the classics in Brazilian music. Perhaps most interesting and stellar of which is the Elis Regina only vocal of Waters of March. It has such an innocent sound! Carlos Lyra's "Influencia Do Jazz" will take you to a beach in the late 60's, and Baden Powell's Consolacao has that rich acoustic sound I've grown up with and love. And check out Joao Gilberto's song here along with Gal Costa's tracks... She's a VERY underrated singer IMO. But this CD isn't without fault. The sound quality can be suspect on some tracks, and a song or two weren't what I would have selected from the musicians here. (You can find "Aguas De Beber" and "Girl from Ipanema" on virtually every compilation.
Still I would have to recommend this. It's not that expensive, and out of most of the Bossa Nova/MPB samplers, this is one of the better ones IMO. For the make of Samba De Bencao, Elis Regina, Baden Powell, Tamba Trio (who did the wildly successful take of "Mas Que Nada" that featured in the 1998 World Cup commercial with Brazilian footballers in an airport) and the others... good tunes. Also check out Nova Bossa Nova - a companion piece to "Red Hot & Rio". There is some overlap, but the other version of Baden Powell's cut on that comp is better than this one IMO. Maybe also check out Bossa Nova Gold, a two disc set of MPB and Bossa Nova.

Sergio Mendez does Brazil.......2007-04-10
I was a fan of Sergio Mendez since his trio days, then Brazil 65, 66, etc.
So, I would say this CD is for his fans or those who want an anthology of Brazilian music.
The CD is essentially a collection of different Brazilian music forms. Personally, I rather missed his usual jazzy, Bossa Nova, or Samba style on the CD.
The Best.......2006-12-27
I came across the CD accidentally and I love it. It is Timeless and shows the bridge between the African and South American continents. Powerful drumming and great ENERGY!!! Highly recommended
If you say Brazilian music drives you crazy, this CD is for you!.......2006-10-25
Sergio Mendes is to Brazilian music, what the Beatles are for modern Rock & Pop music. He is a master in Bossa Nova, Samba, Batucada, and other wonderful Brazilian rhythms. Mendes has wisely followed the advice to catch the All-American taste since he was under Herb Alpert in A&M records. In "Brasileiro" Sergio Mendes gives a fair treatment to all his musical influences, both Brazilian and U.S. The result... You have to listen it! It is captivating!
Magano...need I say more?.......2006-08-14
This release from start to finish simply blows my mind. I love the funky rhythm of "Magano." I've been listening to this tune over and over again in my iPod for two days now. I can't get enough of it. If someone comes across the lyrics to "Magano", PLEASE let me know.
Half and Half.......2006-06-28
The first half is incredible, powerful brazillian drums and singing make this an energized and original and fun beginning. But somewhere around the middle, the sound gets very produced with organs and electronic sounds. It goes from raw to overproduced. still a great cd but not as great as the first 5 tracks.

Brazil'65 DIDN'T HAVE ANY HITS..........2006-11-18
It is fair to say that the material contained on this album is pleasing enough to listen to,and maybe,in Brazil,these sides were local hits(although this is doubtful),but the fact of the matter remains that it was not until Mendes put together Brazil'66 and put out albums on the A & M label that he actually had hit records...To say the these are"greatest hits" is to be deliberately deceptive...These are early sides,recorded when Mendes and his band were local artists..Sure,they sound similiar to his later,hit sides,but,afterall,it was essentially the same band with the same personel...So if you actually remember any of these obscure sides,or if you are a Mendes completist,this is something that you will want to own,HOWEVER,if you are looking for the artist at his peak then fast-forward to BRAZIL'66,and there you will find the real"greatest hits"...
Great no matter what year follows Brasil.......2006-11-15
Very refreshing trip back in time -- still relevant and wonderful to listen to today. The sounds of Sergio and his group are timeless--"sooo nice".
The Best of Brazil.......2006-10-04
What a great CD. I love every cut. Everyone is aware of Brasil '66 but this Brasil '65 should not be overlooked.
Sweet Memories.......2006-09-24
I was 15 when I discovered "Sergio Mendes & Brazil 65". I'd never heard of Sergio Mendes, but there was something about the cover that intrigued me. This was the beginning of a love afair with Brazilian music that has never faded over the years. I played the heck out of this record. I still have it, battered cover and all in my collection. After the dawn of CD's I often looked for it in record stores, but I never found it. What a jewel to discover here! (I only wish it had the original cover.) After 36 years it has lost none of its beauty and power.
Brasil 65.......2006-07-22
This was sweet memories from the past of which I only had a record. Having the CD is so special like the beautiful music it sends. Loved it.

TIMELESS AND BEATIFUL.......2007-06-09
LOOKED FOR IT FOR YEARS AND IT WAS WORTH IT THE WAIT......
If You Can Own Only One Brasil 66 Album, Here It Is.......2007-02-24
Sergio Mendez and his talented musicians recorded many fine albums throughout the '60s, but Equinox may have been the apex. At a playing time of under thirty minutes, it is like life itself: rich, sweet, and short.
Yes, this IS their best!.......2007-01-20
Family friends introduced me to this album in the early '70's when I was in my early teens and I fell in love with it immediately. I wore that album out listening to it and eventually had to replace it. I even had it on an 8 track tape!! That thing was awful, but that didn't stop me from playing it. LOL!
I don't know what it is about this album, but every song is just... fabulous. The vocals, the melodies, the arrangements, they're all terrific and memorable.
After my turntable broke I never replaced it and I lost the cassette I made of the album. Over the past several years I forgot about this album, as it wasn't on cd then. While searching for something online the other day something made me think of it and I looked to see if it was downloadable. Then I thought, wait, let me see if it ever came out on cd and to my surprise and happiness it had! I ordered it and I can't wait for it to get here. Listening to the little snippets online leave me longing for more, for the real thing.
Yeah, it's short. Oh well, that's how the album was. Bonus tracks? A double cd? I don't know, that's not the album I remember, the album I want. I loved it just the way it was and will love it just the way it is when it FINALLY gets here. :-) I just wish I had discovered it again sooner!
This is the "real' greatest hits album!.......2006-10-23
I bought this album in 1966 and played it untill it turned to gray and then lost it in the shuffle of getting married ,kids and moving etc. I bought another copy,an LP. from a catalog for around$25.00 , I was very happy,now I see this on CD for half the price!! This album is tops! It's allways a favorite of mine ,it's one of those 60's "Bests" albums in the line of Pet Clarks "MyLove" with Tony Hatch arrangements and Beach Boys Pet Sounds,Beatles"Rubber Soul".....What an era... sigh..
Incredible music, but packaging and timing isn't.......2006-08-18
When listening to this CD, I thought of the Irving Berlin quote that great music should be 1/3 melody, 1/3 harmony, 1/3 rhythm. This CD meets that rigorous standard.
Many of us have heard these melodies before. Watch What Happens was a hit for Lena Horne, of all people. Night and Day was from a Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie. Wave, Triste, So Danco Samba are all standards.
But Mendes and crew put a wonderful touch to these songs. Incredible arrangements, solid musicianship. There is melody, harmony and rhythm.
However, CD runs less than 30 minutes, packing as noted in other reviews is awful. This could have easily been combined with another CD.
The 5 stars is for the music.

Amazon.com
This impressionistic score from Marcel Camus's 1958 cinematic retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus was most Americans' introduction to the Brazilian musical style called bossa nova. As it became a nationwide craze that featured both Brazilian samba and U.S. cool-jazz participants, the names of Black Orpheus composers Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfa became familiar far beyond the hi-fi set. Along with the haunting theme song, "Manha de Carnaval," and several Jobim compositions are the vibrant street sounds of the pre-Lenten festival Carnaval, which provides the backdrop to the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The score is awash with percussive samba rhythms and the laughter and chanting of the annual festival melee. This is a great disc to play when the day needs a parade. --Lois Maffeo
Customer Reviews:
The best and original........2007-01-29
I like Manha De Carnaval so much that I listened to Domingo, Nana Mouskouri, Carly Simon and Luis Miguel's versions borrowed from the libraries. I like the original song in track 6 by Luiz Bonfa. Track 8 guitar playing is also beautiful. Track 11 female vocal is wonderful, spontaneous and second to none. The sound quality is excellent.
wonderful.......2006-03-26
It's wonderful to have a new recording of the sound track from the movie Black Orpheus. The movie was one of my favorites but I played my old record of the sound track so many times (and put it through so many moves) it was scratched and no longer enjoyable to listen to. Now everytime I listen to my CD version I am transported to the time and space of the movie and the time and space of the early sixties when I first heard it. The little bonus addition at the end of the CD is fun too.
Buy the movie, not this soundtrack.......2006-03-09
Save your money. I love the movie very much, and to watch it and to listen it is an experience like none other. However, if you look for the music from this movie, do not look here. This is just the movie, except without video. I have great respect for Bonfa and Jobim's work on this music, but they do not get glorified truly since the tracks change so quickly and the movie sounds play such a large role in the soundtrack cd. Listen to Trio da Paz and their Black Orpheus album and see how it compares, and even though it is not the original Jobim or Bonfa, it pays more homage to them than this original soundtrack. Verve took the wrong route with this one. Yes the music is landmark in evolving Samba/Bossa Nova, but this cd does not depict truly how wonderful the music is.
Nace el bosanova.......2006-02-21
Considerada la primera película en la que se da a conocer el bosanova, "Orfeo Negro" incluye una serie de fabulosas canciones como "A felicidade", "A nosso amor" y "manha de carnaval". Al parecer los temas fueron tomados de la película, razón por la cual el audio no es el mejor. Este es un disco para coleccionistas entusiastas del bosanova pero no espere variedad ni calidad de audio. Como punto negativo encuentro que en el CD no incluyeron los nombres de los intérpretes de cada canción.
