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

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Greatest Hits is just what the album title says, a 38-minute collection of the songs that topped the charts or which the group became famous for. Most of the songs are covers of other popular hits of the day, including numbers originally penned by Paul Simon or the Beatles, but which sound new and fresh in Brasil '66's jazz inflected versions, topped with Brazilian instrumentation, and top-notch vocal harmonies that sound as if the singer or singers are performing directly in front of you.
The craftsmanship is first-rate, not surprising, given that the album was produced and engineered by such heavyweights as Mendes and Dave Grusin, not to mention Herb Alpert, the "A" in A&M records, and perhaps second only to George martin in the 1960s when it came to recording music that was popular in the truest sense of the word, enjoyable to listen to while also striking a deeper emotional chord which causes that song to linger with us. Sometimes, that emotion is joyous or playful, at other times romantic or even wistful. The album includes "Mais Que Nada" which is sort of the group's signature song. Other highlights include "Scarborough Fair," "Fool on the Hill," "Look of Love," and "Going Out of My Head," although there really isn't a weak link on the album. This CD packaging includes the original album cover, several photographs of the group, and a very bare-bones track and production credit listing.
Easy listening pop is not for everybody,and too much of it probably isn't very good for anyone, but for fans of such music as Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass or Burt Bacharach, Brasil '66 is definitely worth listening to and, at this low price, adding to your collection. The songs are bright and effervescent as a smoothie. Go on. Buy this and download it to your iPod. I promise not to tell.
