DAVE! The late Rubens Bassini had a successful carrer before Sergio. True, Rubens did play with Deodato a few years after FOTH, but he had alsop played with Deodato before FOTH.Rubens was a well known musician among his musical peers in Brazil.Basically, Sergio opened the door for Rubens when it came to his career as a session percussionist here in the states. Sames goes for Paulinho DaCosta, Chico Batera, Laudir DeOliveira, Claudio Slon, and Dom Um Romao.Dave said:Fool On The Hill is my second favorite Sergio Mendes release! The "experimental fa rs?

Cortnee said:Just turn on the radio, and you'll hear Rubens playing percussion on many pop/rock/folk/disco/soul/jazz/Latin hits!
Dave said:I've got The Carnival, (in group name and album title) as well...
Mostly Bones Howe's stable of session musicians and a good two-man/two-woman group of vocalists, applying a bit more depth than Sergio and Co. were able to do at times...
A "Brasilian 5th Dimension", so to speak...!

Cortnee said:Sergio had fired Hansen, Soares, Matthews, and Palma because they secretly recorded The Carnival with Bones Howe behind Sergio's back. Yet, Sergio was willing to work with Howe on The Love Music project in 73. Go figure.
Mike Blakesley said:The only thing constant about Mendes was change, though. Although the first two albums are quite similar, every record after that brought some kind of substantial change to the band or the sound, or both, while staying within the Brasil '66 framework.
