Album Notes & Community Reviews

Brazilian keyboardist Eumir Deodato continues his highly successful formula of adapting classical themes and pop standards into lush, orchestral jazz-funk. The album features a famously buoyant interpretation of Glenn Miller's 'Moonlight Serenade', driven by slick electric piano grooves and tight brass arrangements.
