Synopsis

Album Description
Hot on the success of his #1 million-selling album "Prelude," Deodato recorded a second album, DEODATO 2, which exhibited all the characteristics of his previous effort - cool treatments of classical themes blending with power-driven jazz-rock tunes. But the care and precision that marked this follow-up album resulted in music that was in many ways more tight and exciting. Adding his own mark to Deodato's keyboard playing and arrangements on "Rhapsody In Blue," "Night In White Satin," and the wonderfully stimulating "Super Strut," was John Tropea's uniquely expressive guitar, also a major feature in the first album.

CD Reviews

Let's Focus On The Music
Andre' S Grindle | Bangor,ME. | 10/04/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"To start with 'Deaodato 2' is far more direct and funky then

it predecessor and every tune from "Super Strut" to a grooving

cover of Steely Dan's "Do It Again" have that wonderful

fender rhodes 1970's funk-jazz sound all over them!That's the good news.The bad news is that,just as before Eumir Deodato has the same problem as fellow CTI keyboardist/arranger Bob James;he

always focuses more on rather pompous string and horn orchestrations that detracts greatly from Deodato's brilliant

keyboard playing and wonderful songs.That being said if the

'large ensamble' had been cut out 'Deodato 2' would be ranked

as a sure fire funk jazz classic along with the many classics

of Stanley Clarke,Billy Cobham and Hubert Laws-all of whom play

on this album.But as it stands it's simple way over produced and

where great songs like "Skyscrapers" and "Latin Flute" are

great,they're too cluttered and overdone.Ten star music but one rare case when a classic album requires an instant dress down."
Deodato on Raven rules
Frederick W. Larson | Coppell, Texas | 02/18/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Raven release of Deodato's Preludes and Rhapsodies is an excellent example of superb audio engineering of a remaster. The CTI sound is well preserved and as identical to the CTI pressings as these ears can hear. The focal point, though, is Deodato whose composing, arranging and directing is center stage and star....check it out."

"I've been a Deodato fan for a long, long time. This particular CD was a "must buy" for me, as I'd worn out the vinyl! I could listen to "Super Strut" unendingly. John Tropea is a virtuoso on guitar throughout."
