Sergio Mendes • Pure Bossa Nova

Review

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.

Revisar

Otra compilación para añadir a las muchas que ya existen, Pure Bossa Nova es una colección de algunos de los grandes éxitos del pianista, arreglista y compositor Sergio Mendes de mediados de los 60, cuando era más popular. El sello Planeta Ritmo incluye 14 canciones del extenso catálogo de Mendes en el álbum y, afortunadamente, deja fuera lo que es prácticamente un himno fácil de escuchar, "La chica de Ipanema". Algunos arreglos están más inspirados en el jazz ("Ela é Carioca", "O Amor Em Paz", "Batida Diferente") y otros en la samba ("Tristeza de Nós Dios", "Só Danço Samba"), pero todos son puro Mendes y, como dice el título del álbum, pura bossa nova. Y mientras Mendes es generalmente clasificado como jazz ligero o fácil, las canciones no son campechanas o sacarinas como muchas otras cosas en esas categorías. Puede que no sea música difícil, pero eso no significa que no sea compleja. Los tambores están siempre en movimiento, hay mucha improvisación y mucha gran musicalidad. Para los ya incondicionales fans de Mendes, este disco no aporta nada nuevo a una colección, pero para aquellos que quieran explorar a uno de los grandes compositores e intérpretes del género, Pure Bossa Nova es un lugar perfecto para empezar.
