Equinox is the second album of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. The albums from their early period remind me of the Irving Berlin quote that great music should be 1/3 melody, 1/3 harmony, 1/3 rhythm. This music meets that rigorous standard.
Many of us have heard these melodies before. Watch What Happens was a hit for Lena Horne, of all people. Night and Day was from a Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie. Wave, Triste, So Danco Samba are all standards. Mendes and crew put a wonderful touch to these songs. Incredible arrangements, solid musicianship. There is melody, harmony and rhythm.
