This review is from: Deodato 2 (Audio CD)

I have this still on vinyl! it's great to see it out there on CD( even if its an import)! "Super Strut" and "Rhapsody in Blue" alone are worth it! One of the "must haves " for a collection of '70s jazz. Caan we get the rest of the CTI Catalog back out there???Please?

4.0 out of 5 stars Very, Very Good, But...., May 8, 2001

....I have a CD version of the original release on CBS Associated and it kicked in three previously unreleased tracks. These were two original tracks by Eumir Deodato "Latin Flute" and "Venus" and Deodato's fabuloso rendition of Steely Dan's "Do It Again"... but heck, at least "Deodato II" it has been rereleased somewhere in all it's Creed Taylor/Rudy Van Gelder splendor. Deodato's jazzy versions of "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Nights in White Satin" were noted to be two of the best fusion performances ever done when this one came out. Listen for licks by Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, Tropea on guitar, and Hubert Laws on flute...

This review is from: Deodato 2 (Audio CD)

Eumir Deodato did much to define the CTI sound production values of the early and mid-1970s. On a CD with only 5 tracks, he composed only two, doing arrangements of the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin", Ravel's "Pavane for a Dead Princess" and Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". He used the bits that suited his taste and style, and left the rest out, perhaps whetting appetites for the real thing. A satisfying set of jazz-pop instrumentals overall.
