Japan, how is it you allways get the coolest stuff?

Ryan Duffy | Los Angeles | 09/07/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"How is it that Japan would end up with a 1966 recording of a South American artist, live in San Fransisco? I guess there really isn't a good answer to that question, except to just shrug, and import the darn thing. The pure essence of Sergio Mendes and Brasil 65 is captured beautifully on this collection of tracks recorded in the famed "El Matador." From the random china clang, to the spare truck driving by outside, every subtle nuance has been preserved... oh along with some pretty amazing musical moments. In Person at El Matador shines with gorgeous Brazillian/Jazz arangements by Sergio, and exotic vocals by Wanda De Sah... A perfect addition to any cocktail music list, even if the import price eats into your bar tab a bit!"
