Sergio Mendes & Brasil 77 - Home Cooking (1976)





What an oasis this album was for long-time Mendes fans when it came out, after the relatively barren Bell and early Elektra years. Sergio, working with a stellar rhythm section (including Wonderlove's Michael Sembello), and the superb vocals of Lise Miller, Marietta Waters and Bonnie Bowden, expertly delves into a "heavier" Latin sound (almost like Santana) while preserving the lighter Bossa Nova sound for which he justifiably became world-famous. And that all wrapped in delicious and infectious funk base rhythm. So basically that's what Mendes made in this abum. "If you smelll... what Mendes is cookin'..!
