Deodato-Prelude-'73 KEYBOARD LATIN BOSSA FUSION-NEW CD
Deodato-Prelude

NEW CD


Although Eumir Deodato is best known for his rendition of 'Also Sprach Zarathustra', this Brazilian producer and arranger is definitely not a one-trick pony.

Before CTI decided to give him the spotlight, he had already worked with some of the best in the business; Frank Sinatra, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Wes Montgomery.
The Grammy winning signature track, a Latin-fused arrangement of the theme from 2001: A Space Oddisey, propelled Prelude to the top of the charts, making it the best selling record of CTI's catalogue.
But the other songs can hold their own as well.

Deodato's arrangements are lush, his Rhodes playing is light, elegant and funky. Prelude is a jewel from the CTI-treasury.

 
A million-seller, but also a record that no home should be without – and easily one of THE greatest keyboard albums of the 70s!

The album's the one that features Deodato's remake of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" into the funky "2001" – soaring with Fender Rhodes lines that set a new standard for the instrument, with a funky undercurrent that few would have expected for the tune.
Other tracks are nice too – and include a great bossa-y version of "Baubles Bangles & Beads", plus "Spirit Of Summer", "September 13", and "Carly & Carole".
