Equinox is the second album of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. The albums from their early period remind me of the Irving Berlin quote that great music should be 1/3 melody, 1/3 harmony, 1/3 rhythm. This music meets that rigorous standard.
Many of us have heard these melodies before. Watch What Happens was a hit for Lena Horne, of all people. Night and Day was from a Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie. Wave, Triste, So Danco Samba are all standards. Mendes and crew put a wonderful touch to these songs. Incredible arrangements, solid musicianship. There is melody, harmony and rhythm.
Please note that this is an old but good rip (without log), made with an old version of EAC, and coming from my archives on external hard disc.
