1	Look Around (1968) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Sergio Mendes took a deep breath, expanded his sound to include strings lavishly arranged by the young Dave Grusin and Dick Hazard, went further into Brazil, and out came a gorgeous record of Brasil '66 at the peak of its form. Here Mendes released himself from any reliance upon Antonio Carlos Jobim and rounded up a wealth of truly great material ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.29!
2	Fool on the Hill (1968) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Having hit upon another smash formula -- cover versions of pop/rock hits backed by lavish strings, a simplified bossa nova rhythm, and the leader's piano comping -- Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 produced two more chart-busting singles, again turning to the Beatles for sustenance with the title track (number six) and Simon & Garfunkel for "Scarborough ... see all copies from $4.19! new only from $10.29!
3	Brasileiro (1992) more music like this by Sergio Mendes What 1989's Arara hinted at, 1991's Brasileiro delivers with a vengeance, for at long last, here is a genuine, back-to-Brazil tour de force by expatriate Mendes. Taking up the long-abandoned thread of his prophetic Primal Roots album of 1972, Mendes went back to the taproots of his heritage, calling upon a plethora of explosive Brazilian rhythms ... see all copies from $5.43! new only from $9.55!
4	Timeless (2006) more music like this by Sergio Mendes It's easy to think that since Santana made his big comeback using a lot of contemporary pop stars it would become the formula for the artists of yore to edge their way back into the limelight. Sergio Mendes, the best-selling Brazilian recording artist of all time, hasn't made a platter in eight years. He plays piano on a Black Eyed Peas track -- ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
5	Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (1996) more music like this by Sergio Mendes After bouncing around Philips, Atlantic, and Capitol playing Brazilian jazz or searching for an ideal blend of Brazilian and American pop, Sergio Mendes struck gold on his first try at A&M (then not much more than the home of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and the Baja Marimba Band). He came up with a marvelously sleek, sexy formula: dual ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $10.29!
6	Equinox (1967) more music like this by Sergio Mendes Equinox continues the scrumptiously winning sound that Sergio Mendes cooked up in the mid-'60s, this time a bit more fleshed out with John Pisano's guitar, a slightly thicker texture, and even an imitation sitar (this was, after all, 1967). Again, the mix of American pop tunes old and new and Brazilian standards and sleepers is impeccable ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $16.81!
7	Ye-Me-Le (1969) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Perhaps the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 sound was at last beginning to show signs of wear, for not only didn't Ye-Me-Le produce any hits ("Wichita Lineman" reached a lowly number 95), but the album is also less enterprising and fresh-sounding than its predecessors. There is a surprising shortage of Brazilian material, which was always Mendes' most ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $10.29!
8	Crystal Illusions (1969) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 The sound and band that served Sergio Mendes well on Fool on the Hill remain intact on Crystal Illusions, with few modifications. Dave Grusin is right there with a lush, haunting orchestral chart when needed; Lani Hall is thrust further into the vocal spotlight, as cool and alluring as ever in Portuguese or English. Mendes remained on the lookout ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
9	Sergio Mendes [1983] (1983) more music like this by Sergio Mendes see all copies from $2.90! new only from $10.00!
10	Love Music (1973) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 Upon his first move away from A&M, Sergio Mendes signed with Bell, known mostly for pop fluff on the level of the Partridge Family, and practically jettisoned Brazil in search of a return ticket to the pop charts. Bones Howe is totally in charge of the production, Mendes has little to do with the arrangements (Bob Alcivar and Tom Scott handle them ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $32.88!
11 view cover	Cocktail Mix, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Certainly the best of Rhino's Cocktail Mix series, focusing on the most dance-oriented aspects of space age pop. This 18-song compilation could be said to stretch the boundaries of that recently coined genre a bit. After all, Mose Allison, Cal Tjader, Brother Jack McDuff, and Pucho & the Latin Soul Brothers were not so much cocktail musicians as ... see all copies from $4.84! new only from $16.85!
12 view cover	Sergio Mendes & the New Brasil '77 (1977) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 In the mid- to late '60s, Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 were one of the most successful acts doing stark Latin pop for A&M. By the early '70s, the members of the classic Brasil '66 lineup had moved on and styles had changed. Mendes ended up on Elektra/Asylum in the mid- to late '70s, when the label was best-known for its laid-back and polished pop ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
13 view cover	Four Sider (1988) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Covering the extent of Brasil '66's output from 1966-1972, Four Sider is the best available retrospective for those new to Mendes' successful Brazilian pop outfit (the 45-song Very Best of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 offers a more comprehensive, yet potentially daunting overview). Typical of the band's original albums, Four Sider includes a mix of ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.66!
14 view cover	The Best of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '65 (1993) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 see all copies from $3.98! new only from $3.98!
15 view cover	Classics, Vol. 18 (1987) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 As an overview of Sergio Mendes in both of his A&M periods, the 1987-vintage CD Classics, Vol. 18 is a far more useful collection than the older Greatest Hits. Classics includes ten out of the twelve selections on Greatest Hits, replacing "Day Tripper" and "Night and Day" with "One Note Samba/Spanish Flea," "Bim Bom" and "Song of No Regrets" (a ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $13.34!
16	Arara (1989) more music like this by Sergio Mendes At long last, Sergio Mendes seemed to be getting a bit weary of the constant chore of chasing hits in the North American pop field, and the siren call of his native Brazil beckoned. So while the overall sound of Arara remains mostly stuck in Mendes' '80s dance-pop manner, the material is all Brazilian and the CD is sometimes open to more complex ... see all copies from $23.99! new only from $50.08!
17	Greatest Hits (1970) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 see all copies from $8.00!
18 view cover	Brasil '88 (1986) more music like this by Sergio Mendes Before long 1977 rolled around, and without batting an eye Sergio Mendes updated the name of his act to Brasil '88. Mendes is still chasing the North American charts -- to no avail -- but at least he does not desert Brazil, splitting his time between the music of his homeland and humdrum U.S. commercial material, the latter usually coming from the ... see all copies from $12.50!
19 view cover	Love Songs of Burt Bacharach [ Hip-O] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The Burt Bacharach revival was one of the most pleasing things about pop music in the late '90s, but it did produce an abundance of reissues, many of which seemed superfluous. So, it may be easy to dismiss Hip-O's Love Songs of Burt Bacharach as an unnecessary compilation, especially since it arrived in the summer of 1999, when the revival was ... see all copies from $9.46! new only from $9.46!
20 view cover	Sergio Mendes [1975]/Magic Lady (2005) more music like this by Sergio Mendes Sergio Mendes spent the '70s straying very far from his Brazilian roots. The Sergio Mendes album from 1975 is very much in the smooth soul/quiet storm bag and Magic Lady from 1978 is a straight disco record. Neither of the records are the disasters you might have already pegged them as. Sergio Mendes is actually a small pleasure and Magic Lady, ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
21 view cover	The Very Best (2003) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 see all copies from $18.22! new only from $18.22!
22 view cover	Pure Bossa Nova (2006) more music like this by Sergio Mendes Yet another compilation to add to the many that already exist, Pure Bossa Nova is a collection of some of pianist, arranger, and composer Sergio Mendes' greatest hits from the mid-'60s, when he was most popular. Culled from work with his trio, his eponymous group, and full band Bossa Rio, label Planet Rhythm includes 14 songs from Mendes' ... see all copies from $14.71! new only from $14.71!
23 view cover	Great Arrival/Bully! (2000) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & the Quartette Tres Bien In 2000, reissue powerhouse Collectables combined Sergio Mendes' two records from his 1966 campaign (Great Arrival and Bully!, both originally on the Atlantic imprint) and put them together on one disc. A most sensible combination of classic Latin jazz, and economically feasible to boot. Rob Theakston, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.65! new only from $12.15!
24 view cover	Homecooking (1976) more music like this by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '77 In 1975, Sergio Mendes unveiled a new group that was billed as Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77, who got off to a pleasant start with Homecooking. In contrast to the bossa nova, samba, and Brazilian pop-jazz that put Mendes on the map in the '60s, Brasil '77 had more of a soul/funk/quiet storm outlook. Quite clearly, Homecooking was aimed at the '70s ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
25 view cover	Oceano (1996) more music like this by Sergio Mendes There is a surprising variety of material on Oceano, Sergio Mendes' 31st record. First off, the vocals are sung in many different languages, including Portuguese, Spanish, and Swahili. Since only the rarest polyglot will be able to understand everything that is happening here vocally, by default much of the musical impact has to rest on the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
