Deodato: Prelude

There was a time (early 70s) when the jazz purists would sneer at anything coming
from Creed Taylor’s label - especially a minor “hit” with a funky large band version
of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" like this album had. CTI Records' reputation has actually
survived well-intact after all of these decades as it should with the resurgence of MOR
in classy leggings. Vermouth in its marrow cushioned by the likes of the creme of the
crop session-men of this era: Hubert Laws, Bill Watrous, Marvin Stamm,
Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, Ron Carter, a.o. Highlights: “Also Sprach…”,
Ravel’s "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn" and Cobham’s "September 13."
