Sergio Mendes is one of the most enduring artists to hail from musically and culturally rich Brazil. His signature blending of Brazilian music with American pop -- as epitomized by his Brazil '66 band and such mega-hits as "Mas Que Nada" -- have made him one of the most popular and beloved Brazilian artists of all time.

Time and time again, Mendes has proven that creative innovation and musical accessibility needn't be mutually exclusive.   Rather, they can blend artfully in a celebratory musical style that invites everyone to the party.  

Speaking of innovation and inclusiveness, if there's anyone knows how make music that will get a party started it's Black Eyed Peas's refreshingly eclectic mastermind/rapper/producer Will.i.am.   Here, at Sergio's party, the list of invited guests is A-list all the way:   Will.i.am (as producer and performer), Black Eyed Peas, Q-Tip, Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, John Legend, Erykah Badu, Justin Timberlake, Pharoahe Monch, Chali 2na, Black Thought (of The Roots), Marcelo D2, and others.

  Melding Sergio Mendes's classic, infectious mix of Brazilian bossa nova and samba rhythms, jazz, and pop music with the fresh-as-tomorrow, modern hip-hop production flavor of will.i.am, this constantly grooving mix of classic and modern sounds is, in a word, Timeless.

Paper Hat is a new improvising ensemble featuring the sublime talents of Colin Hopkins, piano, Frank Di Sario, bass and Andrew Gander, drums. Their stunning new CD release, Nine Conversations is a celebration of improvisation. with little discussion and pre-conception, this recording marks a pinnacle in the lives of its participants and is a unique snapshot into the mind of these fine musicians.

Recorded on the last day of winter, 2005 at the ABC studios in Melbourne, Nine Conversations presents original Australian Music as few Australian ensembles do; totally spontaneous, no editing and full of Zeitgeist.

Tackling the deep topics of life, love and death; 'Requiem', 'Where it ends' and 'You' and the more frivolous questions asked of musicians; 'Are you working New Year's Eve?' and 'I think I left my phone on', this CD is about three friends laughing, talking, joking and sometimes crying. It's about three friends and Nine Conversations.

Seldom can an artwork influence and touch so many people. Paper Hat is excited to have this opportunity.
