A bridge between bossa nova and 1960s pop, Sergio Mendes' music was easy listening, vaguely psychedelic pop, light jazz, and bossa nova all rolled into one. Mendes and Brasil '66 (which featured Mendes on keyboards and a revolving cast of two female vocalists, bass, guitar, drums and percussion) had a number of hits from the mid-'60s to the early-1970s that are included here. Getting his professional start playing and arranging for Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto, Mendes typically filled out his proper albums with updated versions of popular songs written by the Brazilian masters as well as some of his own tunes ­ his tunes "Look Around" and "So Many Stars" are included. But this collection really surveys his interpretations of pop tunes of the day, some of which were never hits for Mendes. The small combo's light touch and rich vocal harmonies make for pleasant if kitschy covers of hits like the Beatles' "Fool On The Hill" and "Day Tripper," Burt Bacharach's "The Look Of Love," and others. ­ --Tad Hendrickson

Customer Reviews:

Love This Group!.......2007-06-22

Learned about this group while in college in the 60s and saw them perform in person. While their songs have a Latin and/or sultry beat, their renditions of songs in this CD are varied and wonderful. Songs from the Beatles, Cole Porter (fabulous rendition of "Night and Day")and composers Alan and Marilyn Bergman have very unique interpretations.

Never Sounded Better.......2007-06-17

The sound of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 is just as fresh and clean as it was fourty (ohmygod!) years ago. Perfect for quiet evenings at home setting a classy mood at your next party.

never gets old.......2007-05-14

I love this sound as much as I did originally. Some things that are solidly good stay that way. This album is one such.

Absolutely wonderul.......2007-05-11

I love Brasil 66 songs so much, I almost can't review this collection. I think of riding in our car in summer when I was 9 years old, my elbow on the window, the warm breeze swirling around my mom and me. I think of hot summer days and warm evenings, everything in time moving slowly and easily. Possibly my favorite song of all time is Pretty World... lyrics, music, and style perfectly blend into a happy bubble of being young and in love and care free. "We'll hang a little sign that just says 'Paradise - Population Two'." And those voices, those glorious sultry voices. (Combine with Bossa Nova by Putumayo.)

Great Album>>> Love it.......2007-02-21

This one bring me back to those days where my parents, aunts and uncles were playing it on LP. Great thing about it is I inherted their taste for great music. Althou the recording isnt as great sum of the remastered album, it still way better than playing LP.
