Eumir Deodato ... yeahhhh, another blast from my past. I didn't think it was
jazz the first time I listened to "Prelude" though... at the time I thought
it was funky instrumental music to dance to. :) Interesting bunch of
musicians played on that, I think Ron Carter is in there, Stanley Clarke,
Billy Cobham, and of course Deodato's guitar player John Tropea (where is
Tropea now???)
