Eumir Deodato

Bought a couple of his early albums reissued. Nice organ and arrangements. Anyone here know these?

Yes, I believe I mentioned these in the "Hard Bossa" thread. I enjoy them, and I think Deodato was more important in his early years in Brazil than many people realize (he arranged for many people on a variety of recordings).

Here's a list of the Os Catedraticos titles on the Equipe label:

Samba Nova Concepçao

Impulso!

Tremendao

O Som Dos Catedraticos

Ataque

Os Catedraticos '73

The only problem I have with these is that there is a lot of overlap between them (several songs on more than one album). But overall a nice set of albums, which were all released individually in 24 bit by Ubatuqui some years back.

a great sounding compilation I bought two years ago is this

it contains the Samba Nova Concepçao & Impulso! and is definitely worth been picked up.

Cheers, Tjobbe

Good suggestion- I had forgotten all about those more recent twofer releases.

the original version of Skysrapers, love it, really gets in your soul. paul
