Two idiosyncratic albums from Sergio Mendes
Music Lover: JMK from USA -- February, 15, 2005
After a long and successful career with Brasil '66 and to a lesser extent Brasil '77 on A&M, Sergio Mendes had endured two years of relative obscurity on the Bell label before moving to Elektra in 1975 with a self-titled album which is the first half of this current reissue.
Abandoning the Brasil '77 group name, and utilizing mostly studio musicians, the first Elektra album is a fairly tame, though well-produced, effort to mold a pop-soul groove onto Sergio's bossa nova roots.
By the time "Magic Lady," Sergio's Elektra swan song (until "Brasiliero" almost a decade and a half later) came along, disco was the ruling music of the day, and Sergio, with the help of Tower of Power, does a credible job of once again slightly twisting his own idiom to fit the style of the day.
Both albums will probably disappoint those who are expecting something akin to Brasil '66, but they both contain some excellent material ("Davy" and "If I Ever Lose This Heaven" off the first album, "Magic Lady" and "A Dream Come True" from the second), albeit not what one would normally think of as being "typical Sergio Mendes."
