Sergio Mendes's Equinox, released in 1967, builds upon the deliciously captivating sound he created in the mid-60's. Featuring John Pisano's guitar and a slightly denser texture, the album also includes an ersatz sitar, showcasing Mendes's versatility. As before, the combination of familiar American hits and lesser-known Brazilian standards is flawlessly executed, making for a refined and enjoyable listening experience.
Equinox offers a predictable yield from Antonio Carlos Jobim, known for discovering and recording “Triste” and “Wave.” However, it also delves into the works of other notable Brazilian writers, including Jorge Ben, Joao Gilberto, and Edu Lobo.
