Found this on the Sergio Mendes website:

http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/303/bands_gets_a_brazilian/

It's mostly various Brasil '66 and '77 songs (at least in the first half) with Sergio coming in at various points talking about his history and so on.

Interesting mistake by Sergio: Introducing the song "After Sunrise" from PRIMAL ROOTS, he refers to it as "Celebration of the Sunrise." (And, we know he's not talking about the STILLNESS track by that name because he says it was the first song recorded in his new studio built by Harrison Ford, which we all know is where the PRIMAL ROOTS album was made.)

But, it's nice to hear a lot of tunes that aren't usually featured in this kind of a show. "Zanzibar," "The Frog," "Roda," "After Sunrise," "One Note Samba/Spanish Flea," and "Casa Forte" are all featured along with the old and new versions of "Mas Que Nada."
 
Also, just by coincidence--as I was reading through the Billboard stuff I found on the Google Books search, there's actually an article about Stillness sessions at his new "150,000 dollar home studio."
