Actually, I havent heard Brasil 66 but the later stuff is more easy-listening
stuff wich is really wery good if your into that. But the bossa stuff on for
example Bras68 is not really that good. Nice is, in my oppinion, the Bras65
sessions. Even though Jobim, Gilberto and gang is better if your really into
it, the Sergio Mendez bossa is more up-tempo (usually that is) and more of a
soul influence (more accesible for the ordinary listener I think).....BTW,
did this really qualify on this list?!?...if not, sorry.......
