Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 - Equinox

I have a real soft spot for Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66 or ‘77, and I’ve always picked up their records if I see them for sale. (In fact I own two variants of this Aussie pressing, with different sleeves.) They're cheap and plentiful.

Essentially, they did very middle-of-the-road covers of other people’s tunes. All a bit Abigail’s Party at times, but with enough quality musicianship to keep them from grating.

As with many musical preferences, I blame Gilles Peterson, who would spin them to the latin-hungry youth of the eighties. Cinnamon and Clove off this album takes me right back.
