How about Eumir Deodato?

[Vintage_Hi-F]

I personally think he's really good, Prelude and Deodato 2 are probably 2 of my favorite albums by him and are easily in my top 10 Jazz albums of all time. Whats every one else's opinion of him.

Those two are my favorites too. Been grooving on his music since the 70s. Good stuff!

The only thing I can recall hearing by him was his version of "2001/Also Sprach Zarathustra" (Still have an edited 45 of it.).
I take that I need to check out his albums then.

Prelude and Deodato 2 had an impressive line up to say the least . . . good stuff!

Hubert Laws (flute); John Tropea (electric guitar); Ron Carter (bass); Stanley Clarke (electric bass); Jay Berliner (guitar); Billy Cobham (drums); Airto (percussion).

Could you pick up a gallon of low-fat milk and some Lucky Charms?

Getting off a bit (can't help it)... Hey Ken, listen to this one. It will make you want hang out in the elevator at K-Mart.

Now we're veering into Montovani, Ray Conniff, and Percy Faith territory. Although, I find "Theme From a Summer Place" oddly compelling with its abject lack of soul.

Deodato has some great guitar tone that gives it that Les Baxter mixed with the Jefferson Airplane sound.

Yeah, what is it with that song? It's something that I hate to admit, but I've always liked it. ara:
