There's an excellent album of jazz artists' interpretations of French
classics called "The French Collection" (EMI). Artists are Eddie Daniels,
Kevin Eubanks, Fred Hersch, James Newton, and Toots Thielemans. They do
works by Debussy, Ravel, Faure, Poulenc, and Satie.

Deodato's "Prelude" album (CBS) contains Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach
Zarathustra" and Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun"--arranged
by Eumir Deodato, of course. Hubert Laws does a flute solo on "Prelude"
and musicians include Ron Carter, John Tropea, Stanley Clark, Jay
Berliner, Billy Cobham, Airto, and Ray Barretto.
Question: Are there other Deodato albums on CD format? Titles and labels?
