Joao Donato

Conducted by Deodato

DONATODEODATO


This auction is for a copy of the first release of DonatoDeodato, an album featuring a collaboration between Brazilian jazz legend, Joao Donato and Deodato, Brazilian composer and arranger.


An accomplished musician, Joao Donato was instrumental in popularising the bossa nova, worked with many Brazilian musicians including Astrud Gilberto and was awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

 

Deodato is possibly best known for his 1974 hit, Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001) but he has produced more than 500 records for acts such as Frank Sinatra, Roberta Flack, Björk, Christophe and Kool & the Gang.


The DonatoDeodato collaboration was the coming together of the two biggest Brazilian keyboard talents of the 70s and produced a beautifully funky sound! The LP features a great blend of the moody electric work of Donato's classic Quem E Quem album, and some of the fuller, funkier grooves on Deodato's work for CTI. The double-keyboard blend is complimented by a host of great guest musicians, including Randy Brecker on trumpet, Romeo Penque on flute, Mauricio Einhorn on harmonica, and Michael Gibson on guitar with percussion from Airto and Ray Barretto.

This copy of DonatoDeodato is in G+ condition. The LP retains its shine and plays well. The cover is price clipped and has wear to the edges. There is ring wear, most obvious on the back cover, and minor yellowing. Please check the pictures as they form part of the description.

 

I will be listing several records over the coming weeks. These are from a private collection that has been in storage for a few years. The images used in the listings will always be the actual records for sale, stock images will not be used. Please note I will do my best to grade the condition of these records, but I am not a professional grader. If anything, the gradings will be conservative. All LPs will be test played but only major defects will be reported.

 

I am happy to combine postage if you are interested in more than one listing.

Local pick up will be from the Highett area, about 5 minutes from Southland Shopping Centre. Overseas buyers please note postage is based on weight and distance, which can make buying from Australia quite expensive.
