Yet another compilation to add to the many that already exist, Pure Bossa Nova is a collection of some of pianist, arranger, and composer Sergio Mendes' greatest hits from the mid-'60s, when he was most popular. Culled from work with his trio, his eponymous group, and full band Bossa Rio, label Planet Rhythm includes 14 songs from Mendes' extensive catalog on the album and manages to, thankfully, leave out what is practically an easy listening anthem, "The Girl from Ipanema." Some arrangements are more inspired by jazz ("Ela é Carioca," "O Amor Em Paz," "Batida Diferente") and others by samba ("Tristeza de Nós Dios," "Só Danço Samba"), but all are pure Mendes and, well, as the title of the album states, pure bossa nova. And while Mendes is generally classified as light or easy jazz, the songs aren't campy or saccharine like many other things in those categories. It may not be difficult music, but that doesn't mean it's not complex. The drums are always moving, there's a lot of improvisation, and plenty of great musicianship. For already stalwart fans of Mendes, this record doesn't bring anything new to a collection, but for those who want to explore one of the great composers and performers of the genre, Pure Bossa Nova is a perfect place to start. ~ Marisa Brown

3 stars Nice mellow bossa
Nice mellow bossa-however these are very old recordings. The blurb for the CD made it appear that these were recorded in the studio this year--oh well.

5 stars Bossa Nova Means New Wave, and it still is!
Very impressed with the set list for this CD! I've been collecting everything Mendes recorded since I was 10 years old and this collection is really wonderfully chosen. While I love the early Great Arrival and Sergio Mendes Trio, I think there should be a sequel to this CD with the best of Brazil 66(Brasil 65), and Brasil 66. Brazil 77, etc. never quite grabbed me the way the earlier recordings did. I love the CD Pure Bossa Nova and hope more people will get hip to the great legend that Sergio is. Check out the new Timeless CD he did with friends. It's great mix of Brazil 66 and hip-hop, soul and a little rap(in english & portugese). This CD will be considered a historic musical endeavor, for sure!

Many people think of smooth jazz as something that didn't start until the 1980s, but arguably, smooth jazz started around 1966-1968 with the overtly commercial, pop-drenched albums that guitarist Wes Montgomery recorded during the last few years of his life. Love it or hate it, Montgomery's more commercial output had a major impact on Peter White and many other guitarists who have contributed to smooth jazz (including George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Earl Klugh, Chuck Loeb, and Henry Johnson). Musically, a lot has changed since the '60s, but the more things change in music, the more they inevitably stay the same -- and 2009 found White (like Montgomery 41, 42, and 43 years earlier) still struggling with a desire to improvise and a desire for mass acceptance (the thing that jazz, for the most part, lost after World War II). Of course, one doesn't necessarily rule out the another; the late saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. knew how to be commercial and adventurous at the same time, but most smooth jazz artists play it way too safe -- which is what White usually does on Good Day. This 2009 release is, on the whole, an album of pleasant but not very memorable background music; White usually sounds like he is yearning ...

Tord Gustavsen Ground CD  (2005)

Pure Bossa Nova songs
CD $14.05  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In the proto-typical Scandinavian ECM style of modern jazz oriented music, pianist Tord Gustavsen follows the path of previous progenitors influenced by Bill Evans, forged by Keith Jarrett, and extended by the likes of Mike Nock. This is certainly late-night, nocturnal music, completely reserved and relaxing, ultra-melodic, calm, peaceful, and non-threatening. Rarely does a tempo move beyond medium, a dynamic merge above mezzo piano, and any mood goes farther than moderately cool. Well within this consistent timbre, Gustavsen and his trio show a modicum of diversity and influences. Fellow ECM labelmate Bobo Stenson's style and technique is most extant during the lilting "Edges of Happiness," "Twins" is spiritual, calm, and light but not somber, while "Token of Tango" is perfectly representative of its title. "Curtains Aside" mixes march rhythm in 6/8 with a regal ...

WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES, a 1999 Verve release, heralds the return of the cool and groovy Latin-tinged jazz of the '60s. Upon hearing the opening track, a bossa-nova-fied version of Irving Berlin's "Let's Face The Music And Dance," one might think he had ...

O Dia Em Que Faremos Contato
Lenine O Dia Em Que Faremos Contato CD  (1997) (Import) Brazil

Pure Bossa Nova songs
CD $18.79
This solo debut by Brazilian pop/rock artist Lenine includes "Etnia Caduca," "Aboio Avoado," and "Bundalele." The album's concept is stated in its opening: the noise of an Internet connection is followed by a testimony of a humble boy, a percussionist of the streets of Northeast; follows a maracatu-heavy metal fusion "A ponte." Lenine is interested in building a "bridge" between us Brazilians and the rest of the universe - the choice of a real bridge in Recife where he began the homonymous tour was not at random. The fact is that he is not alone in that endeavor - since the Tropicália times, this ...
