One of the last Lost Treasures among Brazilian Jazz - I m so glad I finally got to review this amazing CD by Master Sergio Mendes.This CD originally released in 1986 will go on to history as a very rare release, you name the format, CD, Album, Cassette, this recording did not hit the markets massively, so now is as hard to get it, almost as it was back then.Three special features make this CD very special, 1. The great collaboration Dori Caymmi brought to the recording (compositional-wise and performance-wise)2. Three super hits in almost all Jazz radio stations from 1986 to mid 90 s by three different vocalists in this same album:- Daylight / Performed by Siedah Garrett- Your Smile / Performed by Gracinha Leporace- No Place to Hide / Performed by Lani Halland...3. A great pop hit from the 80 s that you can only find in this album: Take This Love.And finally I d like to point out as customery, all the great musicians in this historical recording:- Sergio Mendes / Piano, Keyboards, Sinclavier, Compositions, Arrangements, Production- Jeff Porcaro / Drums- Paulinho Da Costa / Percussions- Gracinha Leporace / Vocals- Siedah Garrett / Vocals- Lani Hall / Vocals- Joe Pizzulo / Vocals- Dori Caymmi / Vocals, Guitars- Peter Wolf / Keyboards, Sinclavier, Compositions, Production- Michael McDonald / Additional Vocals- Dann Huff / Guitars- Ernie Watts / Saxophone- Alphonso Johnson / Bass- Nathan East / Bass- Phil Perry / Additional Vocals- etc. etc.If you can find it, purchase it at once since it s almost impossible to find, own a piece of history.
