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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Sérgio Mendes \u0026amp; Brasil '66\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/a-m-records-record-label\"\u003eA\u0026amp;M Records\u003c\/a\u003e – SAML-933,393\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Stereo\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_australia\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1969\"\u003e1969\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/global-music-on-vinyl-records\"\u003eGlobal\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bossa-nova\"\u003eBossa Nova\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vocal\"\u003eVocal\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+(Sittin+On)+The+Dock+Of+The+Bay\"\u003e(Sittin On) The Dock Of The Bay\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+Viola\"\u003eViola\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+Song+Of+No+Regrets\"\u003eSong Of No Regrets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+Salt+Sea\"\u003eSalt Sea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+Empty+Faces\"\u003eEmpty Faces\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+Pretty+World\"\u003ePretty World\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+Dois+Dias\"\u003eDois Dias\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+You+Stepped+Out+Of+A+Dream\"\u003eYou Stepped Out Of A Dream\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=S%C3%A9rgio+Mendes+\u0026amp;+Brasil+'66+Crystal+Illusions+=+Memorias+De+Marta+Sare\"\u003eCrystal Illusions = Memorias De Marta Sare\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"A\u0026M Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51009111195713,"sku":"1303285","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/2b855d8566207e3a04b50da6c676f7a5a21623610b9f70a08a637e3e0baec92a.jpg?v=1794380107","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/sergio-mendes-brasil-66-crystal-illusions-394745","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
