4.0 out of 5 stars Same Album as "Skyscrapers", March 26, 2004

By 

Rey (Jakarta Indonesia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Os Catedraticos 73 (Audio CD)

It is another fine Deodato album but may not have the funk and rhythms of Prelude, Deodato2, First Cuckoo, and some of the others. However it is worth mentioning that this album is almost impossible to find but for those who really want it can get "Skyscrapers" because it is exactly the same record. "Os Catedraticos 73" was the name used in Brazil but internationally the album was issued under the title "Skyscapers". The songs are all exactly the same and both albums have the same number of tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Brazilian Bossa/Samba/Jazz/Funk, October 7, 2002

By 

Rob Keil (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Os Catedraticos 73 (Audio CD)

This album is a masterpiece. Deodato is certainly one of the finest arrangers and composers in the World Music idiom, if not in the entire world of music. Here, he combines the beauty of classic Brazilian Samba and Bossa Nova melodies with a very hip early 70's groovy, somewhat funky arranging approach. Several compositions are Deodato originals. All the tracks are just filled with great horn riffs, dense percusssion, and funky electric piano and organ. Very similar to Deodato's hugely popular album "Prelude", without being quite as highly produced. It's a shame more people don't know about this album. If you are into this kind of music, it is definitely worth spending your cash on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bossa Nova with brass and hammond keyboard sound, February 3, 2001

By 

Alex Sydorenko (Memphis, Tenn.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Os Catedraticos 73 (Audio CD)

I actually bought this album, thinking that it was by another Brazilian bossa nova artist, Joao Donato. When I realized my mistake I still wasn't disappointed. This cd is something I keep returning to every so often. The only way I can explain the music is like this: Imagine a hot summer day in Los Angeles in the mid-1970 when everyone is wearing sideburns and bellbottoms, and big hair. Then imagine driving your car down to Tijuanna and the groove is happening. Big brass and organ keyboards and samba. Bossa Nova...
