I am not ashamed to say that this is my very
favorite SM album out of all those to which I have listened. A
wonderful all-instrumental jazz record with great Brazilian
percussion and rhythms backing every track. Five stars!

In Ruy Castro's book "Bossa Nova", he states:
In 1960,
[Armando] Pittigliani, [of Philips Records] had
invited Sergio Mendes to cut a disc at his recording company--a dance
record. Mendes had resisted: he wanted to make a jazz record.
Pittigliani managed to persuade him to change his mind, and Dance
Moderno was made, but Mendes styled the arrangements with so many
complicated, jazzy innovations that nobody could dance to it."
Personnel: includes Sergio Mendes, (piano);
Edson Maciel (trombone), Durval Ferreira (guitar), & Bebeto
(sax/flute/bass), Edson Machado (drums).

Special Note: According to site visitor Frank-Oliver Hellmann, this additional information belongs with this listing:
Location: Universal Recording, Chicago
Musician Personnel: Sergio Mendes p; Dave Pike vib; Unknown g; Sebastiao Neto b; Chico Batera d.
Note: Eddie Higgins (vibes) replaces Dave Pike on “Insensatez”
Pianist Eddie Higgins was working in the
recording booth at this session. Dave Pike had been playing vibes
during the session but was unfamiliar with the melody for "Insensatez."
The group was running out of studio time, so Higgins started the tape
and ran out into the studio and played vibes on this one track. The
group was Sergio Mendes' Brasil '65. Another track in the album,
"Abraco a Sergio," was composed by Higgins and played by Mendes. The
guitar player is unkown but it might be Rosinha de Valenca who was
working with Mendes' Brasil 65.
The record was issued in 1967, but was recorded November 1964 or 1965. An interesting note about the session is that
Mendes was brought in to record some background music for the Seeburg Company and was VERY upset when Philips
put it out later as an album. That was not supposed to happen.
Webmaster's Note: the year of recording and
year of issue given in the above information differs from the original
information that was researched on this listing. Therefore, it
is not provided here as an official part of the listing, but as an
addendum until such time as these facts can be confirmed/verified.
