Bossa Nova York – SERGIO MENDES TRIO***

Maria Moita/Só Tinha De Ser Com Você/Batida Diferente/So Danço Samba/Pau Brasil/Garota De Ipanema/Inútil Paisagem/Vivo Sonhando/Primavera/Consolação/O Morro Não Tem Vez

An early album release from Sergio Mendes before his commercial breakthrough. Bossa Nova York is considered to be closer to authentic Brazilian music than his later releases.

“This set pays homage to several of the bossa nova standards with jazz twists making a delicious bossa jazz combo.”

“Sergio Mendes started his musical career in the early 60s influenced by two major musical genres: bossa nova that just had started in Brazil, and by jazz. During his early recordings (including this one), Sergio was avid to promote and mix both styles of music with a lot of success, and Bossa Nova York is a perfect example.”

“Bossa Nova York is closer to authentic Brazilian music than his later, more commercial recordings and these early sides are adored by jazz purists."
