[giancaterino]

Eric, Thank you for your comment. It makes me happy to see that people appreciate Gracinha's wonderful vocals' I'm always happy to hear from other musicians. thank you for the compliment.

[ErictheJazzer]

Gracinha Leporace is THE VOICE of romantic Latin-American jazz. Great music as usual from Sergio Mendes. Thank you Giacaterino for uploading this video. My compliments to you as a great musician...from one electric jazz bass player to another.

Thanks for this unique material! Very nice playing on Magic Lady, where you're playing a different arrangement from the album version. I always found that album arrangement an incredible tour de force, with the strings and the percussion and the piano all blending in so well, and the saxophone soaring on top of it all. That must have been a great experience. (Too bad it cannot be posted on YouTube...)

One of my favorite concerts when I was playing with Sergio was in Manila at the Folk Arts theatre in 1979. thanks for your comment. w

[MikeIdy6000]

Sergio Mendes always gives a good show. That fresh, crisp sound has spanned decades. I see him whenever he comes around. Thanks for posting!

[joeenglert]

wait a minute, isnt the girl in black lani hall?? and the girl in white carol rogers?

[hardbossa]

No, the girl in black is the Brazilian singer Gracinha Leporace, Sergio Mendes' wife. Lani Hall left the SM&B66 group in 1971 to pursue a solo career.

[eduindia]

fucking WONDERFULL !!!!!!!!!!

I ALWAYZ HEARD THE FEMALE SINGERS.....BUT NOW THEY MADE THE PERFECT MIX OF THE AMERICAN STYLE WITH THE BRAZILIAN....... WITH THE SERGIO STYLE.....WOW WHAT A TUNE!!!!!

[bigskyking]

Sergio Mendes is the greatest piano player of all time. He started in classical music at the Musical Conservatory in Niteroi, Brasil, where his father was a doctor. (Imagine him walking along the beach in Niteroi watching sailboats in the afternoon sun on the way to his piano lessons.)

Then he started studying jazz, and by the time he settled in California he had absorbed all these influences. The result was Brasil '66 and this great piano playing. Check out the piano solo from 6:50 to 7:20.

[OOBadazzOO]

YOu ROck Mom !!!!
