I love Sergio Mendes mainly since many of his tracks turn Bossa Novas into Sambas by his uptempo Piano Style. And I'm happy that BiaB has already two "Sergio"-Styles. Well, I wouldn't mind even more of them :-) ... but first of all, I think that a Sergio-Soloist is still missing, right?
My favourite songs from Sergio Mendes:
1) Mas Que Nada (1966 version)
2) Oba-Lá-Lá (1961)
3) Love for Sale (1961)
4) Emorio (2010 version)

I have all his albums. I think the genius of Sergio Mendes is his comping. He rarely solos and those are minimal. It’s sort of like requesting a Count Basie soloist. But certainly a soloist track could be made of the comping style he uses. Does that make sense for your request?

yeah I already was undetermined exactly in regard to that - thanks for bringing this up. Probablay makes sense, in most cases.
In Mas Que Nada for example, he only plays a very small Solo at the end. But on the other side, e.g. for Oba-Lá-Lá you could argue that almost the whole song could be seen as one big Sergio-Solo.
