As a subscriber to the Hollywood Bowl's Jazz Series, you never know what surprise is in store for you each season. Each year, I wait in anticipation to find out what eclectic selection has been determined and know that it will always be a special event.
Last night at the Hollywood Bowl, with Sergio Mendes, was no exception. I was thrilled to find out that I would be seeing this Brazilian icon performing, even without Brazil 66.
My initial introduction to Sergio Mendes was through my parents who listened to the tunes of "The Look of Love" and "The Fool on the Hill." But when I received my CD of "Timeless" a few years ago where he collaborated with the Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, and added a funk/rap/hip-hop style to bring his music into the modern day, I was pleasantly surprised.
We listened to Timeless the entire ride to the Bowl and on the way home. Sergio opened up with E Minana (Hey Girl) from this CD and ended with the famous Mas Que Nada, with the crowd singing along.
If you can't make it to Brazil, you might as well go see Sergio Mendes this summer. It was truly a combination of the old and new, and it fit perfectly for all generations. I'm still humming to Mas Que Nada with a smile on my face.
