"I cannot see how substantial international achievement can elude this group who have marketed, with considerable taste, a delicately-mixed blend of pianistic jazz, subtle Latin nuances, Lennon-McCartneyisms, some Mancini, here and there a touch of Bacharach, cool, minor chords, danceable up-beat, gentle laughter and a little sex." - Derek Taylor
"Among the many pleasures in the record business is the reward of finding new and exciting talent. One afternoon recently, a friend of mine called to ask if I wanted to hear a new group. From the first note I was grinning like a kid who'd just found a new toy. The group is headed by an amazingly talented piano playing arranger; Sergio Mendes. Since that time, Sergio and I have become good friends. I know you'll enjoy them as I do. It is with pride that I present Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66." - Herb Alpert
