Eumir Deodato - Inutil Paisagem (1964)

Several Loronix friends were today at the first Eumir Deodato concert in Sao Paulo after a hiatus of twenty years with no live concerts in Brazil. Unfortunately, I spent a lot of time listening and having fun with Grupo Manifesto and probably everybody is now sleeping home dreaming with the great night they had. Anyway, hope they get surprised tomorrow morning and all Loronix friends have a nice time with this early Eumir Deodato album.

This is Eumir Deodato - Inutil Paisagem (1964), for Forma, a tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim with Eumir Deodato as arranger, director and pianist with production and artistic direction of Roberto Quartin. Don't miss the liner notes included with the music, written by Antonio Carlos Jobim, amazed with Eumir Deodato and his talent to write orchestra arrangements with the age of 21 years old. Personnel listing is also of note, featuring Edson Maciel, J.T. Meirelles, Copinha, Roberto Menescal, Luis Marinho, Oscar Castro Neves, among others. Tracks include:

    Listen closely to the track "The Girl From Ipanema" on this album. This arrangement became the basis of the one Deo did for Jobim's "Tide" album. Except that on "Tide", there is much more instrumentation/orchestration and the arrangement is fully fleshed out. But note for note, its beginnings were here in "Inútil Paisagem"!

    Only the piano intro of the first song (Insensatez) and you will be caught by this recording. What a great LP! I was not able to stop listening to it until the last note sounded. And Eumir was only 21 at the time he made that orchestral arrangements? HE IS A GENIUS!

    Of course, it has been included in my "favourites" box.

    Thanks a lot Zeca!

    g picanco,

    Agora que vi o seu comentário, lembrei que esqueci de citar anteriormente que esse disco só foi possível através da sua colaboração.

    Resumindo: Thanks g picanco for providing this LP to Loronixers.

    Cheers, zeca

    A curiosity: after last Saturday's concert, March 31st, Deodato explained me that when this LP was released, his name wasnt't on the cover. Someone had to read Jobim's liner notes to know that it was a Deodato's record.

    And let's remember that it was released by Forma, the same that gave "Coisas" (Moacir Santos) and the "Afrosambas" (Baden/Vinícius) to the world. Thanks, Roberto Quartin !!


    Nice post, Zeca :-)
