This is Sergio Mendes' recording debut, basically a Brazilian jazz outing featuring both American pop and jazz standards along with some familiar Brazilian tunes. One thing that impressed me with this recording is his accomplished technique on the piano--he was reportedly 19 years old when he recorded this album. Even though this was recorded years earlier and in a different style, I hear some echoes of piano stylings that I would hear in later years at A&M.
