Mendes courts a new generation
Sergio Mendes found fame as part of an era, symbolized in the name of his first band, Brasil 66, inventing a smooth, jazzy bossa nova pop sound that's the very essence of the cooled-out '60s. Later versions of the group in subsequent decades -- Brasil 77, Brasil 88 -- didn't have nearly the same impact.
