Deodato Love Island (Vinyl, Warner Bros. Records, 1978) ***
Genre: Jazz fusion
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Tahiti Hut
Gear costume: Take The A Train
Active compensatory factors: I continue to be seduced by the jazz fusion gumbo that Deodato serves up (as he's Brazilian I guess that should be Feijoada rather than gumbo).

As with other Deodato albums, the guest list is impressive: John Tropea, George Benson, Larry Carlton, Rick Marotta, Randy Brecker are a few of more well known ones.
Sometimes forgotten in all this, is Eumir Deodato. He composes most of these songs, and his cool, laid back keyboard style is the featured instrument throughout.
Where do they all belong? Bound to be more coming but that's it for Deodato on vinyl for now. Prelude is the biggie coming on CD.
