"At the height of Deodato’s productivity in the early 70s, Os Catedraticos 73 was recorded between Rio de Janeiro and New York, featuring a Brazilian rhythm section including Azymuth drummer Ivan Mamão Conti, percussion master Orlandivo, and Sergio Barroso on bass, while the horn section features some of the big apple’s top players from the CTI in-house brass.
A firm favourite with rare-groove enthusiasts and fans of Latin jazz alike, Deodato melds the musical sensibility of post-bossa nova Brazilian jazz with North American soul & funk, and the explosive Latin influences of 70s New York. Os Catedraticos 73 certainly swings harder than some of Deodato’s earlier releases and opening track ‘Arranha Ceu’ (Skyscrapers) is a euphoric dance floor classic, which has been lighting up clubs for years.
With the blessing of Deodato himself, this official Far Out reissue has been remastered and pressed to 180g vinyl, with replica original artwork from the OG Equipe release." - Far Out Recordings
Now available on CD, vinyl and mp3 at Amazon.
"Eumir Deodato is an artist in every sense of the word.
The Grammy Award-winning musician is an arranger, composer, producer and more. Born in Brazil, Deodato has arranged for the likes of Frank Sinatra and Roberta Flack, and had a major influence on some of Kool & The Gang's biggest hits, including Celebration and Ladies Night. He's also a huge character with lots of fascinating stories to tell about his life and career.
In this third edition of Audio Culture, Mixcloud's very own Xanthe Fuller joins Deodato to look back at some of his greatest achievements to date."
