For a good idea of his classic early "Bossa Nova" sound (1965-69), check out these (especially "Fool On The Hill", IMO) :    
for a more Funk/Pop/Soul-fueled, mid-70's Brazilian trip, including collaborations with Louis Johnson, Michael Sembello, Dave Grusin and Stevie Wonder, try these: Home Cookin' , 76, and New Brazil, '77  
For straight-up AOR early 80's Pop, try this one: Sergio Mendez (1983) 
for a Grammy-Winning return to his classic Brazil roots, but with an updated approach ( but no rapping, Lol), try this one: Sergio Mendes "Brasileiro" (1992)

the earliest ones are pretty easy to find. I've had timeless since it came out, and I just got 'Encanto' thinking it might go back to an earlier sound...MORE will.i.am   | |

Released in 1973,it's a trippy animated film.I'm not sure if I even "get" it,but it is entertaining,lol.This movie made me want to go out and find Sergio's song "Scarborough Fair". | |

My favorite stuff of his is Brazil '65 with Wanda De Sah on vocals. Every time I pull this out it stays in the car player for about a week. It's closer to acoustic jazz - guitar, bass, drums, piano & trumpet - than the Brazil '66 stuff that's most popular. Breezy, refreshing and perfect summer cool-out music.

... [Edited 4/4/08 7:16am] Except for the last one, can you believe that I lucked on every one of these albums in 1993 at a thrift store off Interstate 95 in Broward County for 50 cents each ? At the time I knew very little of Mendes' work outside of some 70's albums my parents owned when I was small, and earlier collabs they had from him with Herb Albert. What I bought initially because I was intrigued by the styling on the '65, '66 albums covers, instantaneously became a musical love affair as soon as I put the needle to vinyl   | |
