    About this album

    Crystal Illusions refines Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66’s bossa nova-pop blend into one of their most polished late-1960s statements. Issued in 1969, the album finds the group balancing Brazilian rhythm, smooth jazz phrasing and easy-listening polish with the kind of sophisticated arrangements that made Mendes a crossover force. Their interpretation of '(Sittin On) The Dock Of The Bay' shows how deftly the band could reframe contemporary material, while tracks such as 'Pretty World' and the title song underline the set’s melodic grace. It sits firmly within the era that turned Brasil '66 into international favourites.
