Sergio Mendes' Elektra years: Vote for your favorite album

[Aqua do Brasil]

Well, if Dave Grusin played "key's" on this, there is certainly much less of his prescence than as an Orchestrator... Sergio was pretty much the "one and only" keyboardist, and Bob Alcivar did the Orchestrations on his two Bell albums.

Dear Dave,

Bob Alcivar did the orchestration and vocal arrangment on LOVE MUSIC and Dave Grusin did the orchestration on VINTAGE 74 and Bob Alcivar did the vocal arrangment on ViNTAGE.

All the best Aqua do Brasil

And while we're splitting hairs, Alcivar only did some of the arrangements--Tom Scott and Sergio did others.

While I have definite favorites from the AM and Bell years, I love the first 4 Elektra albums, warts an' all, equally. In fact I adore trhem. My favorite Elektra track is The Real Thing.
