This album will cross Christmas celebration until the next Loronix update in December 26th and I have to admit it was a very difficult choice among several picks I had available. I think were will be in really good company with this classic Eumir Deodato album that is unexplainably out of print. Skycrapers was released just after Prelude and Eumir Deodato big hit Also Sprach Zarathustra and this is what makes this album really amazing. Let’s see.

This is Eumir Deodato – Skyscrapers (1973), first issue by CTI and released as Os Catedraticos 73 for Equipe in Brazil. Eumir Deodato came to Brazil to record this album in July 1972, and I think this decision was important to bring to this session the original Os Catedraticos members, which includes Durval Ferreira, Sergio Barroso and others. Eumir Deodato did it and could also bring several other great musicians, including Helcio Milito and Bebeto from Tamba Trio, Orlandivo, Ze Menezes and Mamao from Azimuth. This is one of the Eumir Deodato LPs that I like most and I hope you have a lot of fun with Skyscrapers as I did today. I also wish a very nice Christmas to everybody. Tracks include:

Let’s make it as straightforward as possible. This is Conjunto Castelinho – Os Donos da Bossa (1964), for Spot, I have been wondering if Spot executives in 1964 were really decided to release this wonderful instrumental LP with no additional information about it just to make zecalouro nuts in 2006. This is my assumption.

I have heard for some friends that Eumir Deodato is behind this LP. They might be sure. Who has this info? What are the musicians behind this group? This is the first Spot LP released at Loronix. All Spot cover artwork follows this style, simple, but really effective and nice to see. Tracks include:

01 – Menina Certinha (Durval Ferreira / Luis Fernando Freire)
02 – Samba de Verão (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
03 – Cesteiro Que Faz Um Cesto Faz Um Cento (Toni Vestane)
04 – Baiãozinho (Eumir Deodato)
05 – Muito à Vontade (João Donato)
06 – Samba Novo (Durval Ferreira / Newton Chaves)
07 – Esperança (Durval Ferreira / Luis Fernando Freire / Maurício Einhorn)
08 – Cheers (Henry Mancini)
09 – Ainda Mais Lindo (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
10 – Diz Que Fui Por Aí (Zé Keti / H. Rocha)
11 – Só Por Amor (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
12 – Ela É Carioca (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
13 – Pouca Duração (Pacífico Mascarenhas)

Como discutido nos comentários originais desta postagem e também nessa postagem do Brazilliance, este, na realidade, é o disco ImpulsO!, do Eumir Deodato & Os Catedráticos, que já publicamos aqui e cuja capa original segue abaixo.
