The wheel turns, and last week we learned of the death of Sergio Mendes, the man who brought Bossa Nova by the hand to Californian studios, a subtle blend of genres and a guaranteed fortune.

For those who don’t know it and for fans of the genre, here are TWO mixtapes by Jazzmaster Mike of Sergio Mendes’ best tracks… it may sound old-fashioned, but it works!
