Sometime around 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon, I had a craving for Eumir Deodato, the Brazilian composer-producer and jazz-fusion electric pianist. I have no idea why. Maybe it's the heat or that the light is fading earlier in the day and transitioning to early autumn. Or maybe I just wanted to hear a Fender Rhodes. It happens. Here are four clips of Deodato:
Here's Deodato in 2011 playing Super Strut...
Here's the Deodato Trio playing Carly and Carole...
Here's the Deodato Trio playing Whistle Bump...
And here's the trio playing Steely Dan's Do It Again...
