Album Description Hot on the success of his #1 million-selling album "Prelude," Deodato recorded a second album, DEODATO 2, which exhibited all the characteristics of his previous effort - cool treatments of classical themes blending with power-driven jazz-rock tunes. But the care and precision that marked this follow-up album resulted in music that was in many ways more tight and exciting. Adding his own mark to Deodato's keyboard playing and arrangements on "Rhapsody In Blue," "Night In White Satin," and the wonderfully stimulating "Super Strut," was John Tropea's uniquely expressive guitar, also a major feature in the first album.

CD ReviewsLet's Focus On The Music Andre' S Grindle | Bangor,ME. | 10/04/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "To start with 'Deaodato 2' is far more direct and funky then it predecessor and every tune from "Super Strut" to a grooving cover of Steely Dan's "Do It Again" have that wonderful fender rhodes 1970's funk-jazz sound all over them!That's the good news.The bad news is that,just as before Eumir Deodato has the same problem as fellow CTI keyboardist/arranger Bob James;he always focuses more on rather pompous string and horn orchestrations that detracts greatly from Deodato's brilliant keyboard playing and wonderful songs.That being said if the 'large ensamble' had been cut out 'Deodato 2' would be ranked as a sure fire funk jazz classic along with the many classics of Stanley Clarke,Billy Cobham and Hubert Laws-all of whom play on this album.But as it stands it's simple way over produced and where great songs like "Skyscrapers" and "Latin Flute" are great,they're too cluttered and overdone.Ten star music but one rare case when a classic album requires an instant dress down." Deodato on Raven rules Frederick W. Larson | Coppell, Texas | 02/18/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Raven release of Deodato's Preludes and Rhapsodies is an excellent example of superb audio engineering of a remaster. The CTI sound is well preserved and as identical to the CTI pressings as these ears can hear. The focal point, though, is Deodato whose composing, arranging and directing is center stage and star....check it out." Deodato 2 Susan G. Kater | Lexington, KY USA | 03/24/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've been a Deodato fan for a long, long time. This particular CD was a "must buy" for me, as I'd worn out the vinyl! I could listen to "Super Strut" unendingly. John Tropea is a virtuoso on guitar throughout."
