Title: Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66
Year/Genre: 1966, Bossa Nova / Pop Jazz
Matrix #: SP 4116
Condition: VG+ perfect except for one small poppy section
Description: Recorded in Los Angeles, this debut introduced Brazilian pianist and bandleader Sergio Mendes to American audiences through Herb Alpert’s A&M Records. Released at the height of the bossa nova craze, the album blended Brazilian rhythms with pop accessibility, helping bridge Latin American music and U.S. mainstream radio. Its success reflected the cultural exchange of the 1960s, when artists from Brazil—like Mendes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and João Gilberto—reshaped global jazz and pop. For collectors, this LP represents the beginning of Mendes’s long international career and A&M’s role in bringing world sounds into the American songbook.
