“Scheinfeld does a masterful job of telling Mendes’ life story — from his early childhood fascination with instruments and his classical piano training — to his discovery of jazz and desire to bring his unique sensibility to it as a composer and performer.”

“Wonderful! [Director John Scheinfeld] is a great storyteller and clearly very musical…[one] has to really have a strong appreciation for the music to tell this kind of story in the right way.”

“Sergio Mendes has…(become) a visionary for the hugest names in pop, R&B, rap and hip-hop. The impact of this esteemed bandleader, composer, arranger, songwriter and piano player has never been more apparent as it is throughout [the film].”
