About this album
Equinox finds Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66 refining the elegant bossa nova crossover that made the group internationally popular. Issued in 1967, the album blends Brazilian rhythms, jazz harmony and pop sophistication into a smooth, melodic set that helped define late-1960s easy-listening and crossover tastes. The band’s supple vocals and crisp arrangements give familiar material new lift, while songs such as “Constant Rain (Chove Chuva)”, “Wave” and “So Danco Samba (Jazz ’N’ Samba)” show how neatly Mendes could balance sophistication with accessibility. Widely admired for its poise and melodic clarity, the album remains one of the group’s key statements.
