Deodato

Keyboardist and producer Eumir Deodato is someone who I've begun listening to lately.  He is a Brazilian born jazz fusion artist and has some intriguing recordings.  The heyday of his career was the 1970s but I have only just discovered his work and it's good stuff.  Here is one of my favorite songs entitled "September 13".  The tune is in the key of A minor and has a very similar sound and structure to "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" by the Allman Brothers released about a year earlier.  The Allman's tune came out in 1971 while this composition was published in 1972.  There were standard stereo and quadrophonic mixes of this track.  Here is the link to the quadrophonic mixed version.

Enjoy this tune.
