Composed at the height of his productivity in the early 70s, Eumir Deodato's Os Catedtraticos 73 was recorded between Rio de Janeiro and New York. The album features a Brazilian rhythm section including Azymuth drummer Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti, percussion master Orlandivo, and Sergio Barroso on bass, while the horn section features some of the Big Apple’s top players from the CTI in-house brass.

He was also behind a certain cult edit label. Featuring dusty disco-funk stomper ‘The Morning After’, stripped-back melodic broken-beat monster ‘A Vicious Circle’, and sleek slap-bass stepper ‘One Nite Stand’, the release is a statement prelude to things to come from this elusive studio stalwart. Vinyl only and limited...

With his first album in over two decades, (aside from a collaboration with Madlib) the experimental 72 year old, and one-third of Azymuth, fuses past and future across eleven tracks of rootsy, electronic samba and tripped out jazz, beats and dance music.  Listen to the percussive samba jazz of the new single 'Encontro', which features Alex Malheiros on bass and Fernando Moraes on rhodes and synths . Formerly known as 'Azul', the track was remixed by Max Graef, Glenn Astro and Contours for an exclusive Mamão remix 12" back in...
