Still remember hearing it for the first time in a bar in Derby in about 1985 and bothering the bar staff to tell me what it was I was hearing. Been a favourite since. Possibly the first time I knowingly listened to kora too, I have listened to a lot since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, first heard it on the radio, started playing right when we were pulling up to a couple's house for a dinner invite. Had to send my wife in to explain why I wouldn't be coming in right away. Awkward for them, not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Two LPs on one CD Sergio Mendes on Atlantic The Swinger from Rio The Beat of Brazil Sometime I would like to learn about the Mendes situation regarding Atlantic. He signed with Atlantic, and recorded Brasil '65 Live at El Matador. He then signed with A&M and recorded a string of Brasil '66 albums. Meanwhile, he continued to have albums released by Atlantic. It wasn't clear to me when those Atlantic albums were recorded. I suspect that The Beat of Brazil was done before El Matador. Anybody know? Anybody know why Atlantic allowed him to sign with A&M?

My recollection is that The Beat of Brazil was the last one released in the US, but I suspect that it was one of the oldest of the bunch. I could be wrong.

JSngry Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Brazil '.65 recorded for both Atlantic & Capitol: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1237687-Sérgio-Mendes-Brasil-65 Per: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sérgio_Mendes#:~:text='" Alpert and Moss signed Mendes,Brasil '66" with A%26M. All of Mendes' jazz albums for Atlantic Records, through Nesuhi and Ahmet Ertegun, had low sales. Richard Adler suggested that Mendes and the group sing in English, as well as Portuguese as Mendes had demanded, and Adler sought new English-based material such as "Goin' Out of My Head" by Teddy Randazzo and Bobby Weinstein. In order to sing these songs properly in English, Adler suggested that the group find two American female singers who would sing in both English and Portuguese. Adler called his friend Jerry Dennon and A&M Records founders Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, and arranged for an audition for Mendes' new group, which was dubbed "Brasil '66.'" Alpert and Moss signed Mendes and his group to A&M Records.[3] Adler then went to the Ertegun Brothers at Atlantic Records and sought to have them release Mendes from his Atlantic Jazz contract. Ahmet agreed to allow him to record albums under the name "Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66" with A&M. Mendes was not at this meeting, only Adler and Ahmet Ertegun. Alpert took over as producer for the A&M albums, and the group became a huge success with their first single, "Mas que Nada", by writer Jorge Ben. So it would appear that "Brazil '66" technically got signed by A&M, not Mendes, although his release from his solo Atlantic contract fixed that. Ah, show biz!!?
