Although not a A&M period , and certainly not a repertoire/commercially succesful period at all,
the New Brasil’77 outlet was performing-wise an interesting one.

Once, the 20th of march 1977 I visit a Sergio Mendes & the New Brasil ’77 concert in The Hague,
Holland home of the famous North Sea Jazz Festival.

But,there were several wonderful keyboard spacy like moments from Sergio and great guitar parts from his musical director Oscar Castro Neves, songs like Emorio The Real thing, Girl from Ipanema and
Mas Que Nade were performed in a up-tempo Funky SpaceJazzyLatin groove (better than his early ’80 performances) backed by one bass player, Donald Ballard two drummers, Ronald Ballard and David Hall and four percussionists among them the great Chacal and the singers Carol Rogers, Marietta Waters and Cruz Baca, the wife of Sergio’s long time recording studio associate guitar wizard Michael Sembello, he was once an recording A&M artist.

I wonder how Sergio’s 2002 line-up is currently performing.
