Dear Forum Members,
Yesterday evening I played after many times Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’77
‘Live at the Greek Theatre’ once again during the 24 years since I obtained this album on the MFP/ EMI imprint (Music For Pleasure).
I wonder whats the Forum members opinion is about the song:
SOMETIMES IN WINTER,
You prefer the LIVE or Stillness version?
I prefer the ‘Live’ version above the Stillness album version.
BTW. this above mentioned album has some great moments,
especially, VIRAMUNDO, THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA, GOING OUT OF MY HEAD , CHELSEA MORNING, the percussion interlude ((with parts of PRIMAL ROOTS) and JOGA DE RODO as a leading line. FOOL ON THE HILL, Gracinha Leporace and Gerrie Stevens singing’ with strong voices Whoppa... at the end of chorus in the final part of the song, a nice treat.
Sergio plays excellent all over the place, with a witty quica solo by I guess the late Rubens Bassini and fine guitar work by the great Oscar Castro Neves, and bass by Sergio’s late long-time friend Sebastiaõ Neto and Laudir Soares on congas and drums by Claoudio Slon. Perhaps the best rhythm section (IMHO) which played with by Sergio.
All the best,
Aqua do Brasil
