Eumir Deodato "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (1972)

[pittdave]

my first foray in jazz fusion.. my parents had this LP.. ive been hooked ever since

[Sklade]

God.. Why can I not help but think of The Seatbelts with this??

[ibeeneverywhereman]

if you are looking for a playlist version of this try 'salinas - straussmania' its not as good as deodatos, but it still rocks and you can use it in a playlist.

[ibeeneverywhereman]

last week, this was available in a playlist. This week, no playlist play allowed. killjoys. Thats it, just go and ban all the best songs, what a fun job.

[CaptnButtonSmash]

Goosebumps, man.

[MrChristian326]

I bought this song when it was an 45lp. Later it was on our LP disk. This song, (in its sort version to fill up air-time) was a major hit . I still have the orginal LP ....... it is my fave .... check out side # 2 on the 45. Nice summer song ...........

[videopicks1]

I'm pretty sure I can see through time now.

[RickToye]

And that upright bass solo is some young dude named Stanley Clarke!

[cinta1224]

@RickToye yes, indeed! makes for a good trivia question, don't you think? ;)

[RickToye]

@cinta1224 ABSOLUTELY! I did that with my Facebook friends last week! They were shocked! Thanks for the reply.

[CatalinaThePirate]

Heh. I used to have this on 45rpm - a shorter version, naturally. :D

[Chimponaughty]

Chauncey Gardiner  ! LOL

[Gossage54]

Also used in Being There when Chance (Peter Sellers) first enters the outside world. That's what I most connect this to.

[rhanielvalle]

É lindo.

[JamesTSinclair]

you can imagine Lalo Schifrin doing this

[TheMasterNo6]

@JamesTSinclair The begining bit fits in perfectly with Dirty Harry especially Scorpio the psycho moving about....

[esconsia]

music to bellydance to, i should know, i do it to keep my abs nice and firm! ;-)

[Caitification]

My parents loved this song. It was playing on the radio when my mom was in labor with me. It was January of 1973 and it came on the radio as they drove into the parking lot of the hospital the day I was born. They parked the car and sat and listened to it through to the end and then went into the hospital to deliver me. I've loved it ever since. :)

[gbeachbum464]

This blows my mind in a big way.

[harleybh74]

fantastico!

[phatalbert73]

For years, this was used as the opening theme for Memphis Wrestling. "Hello again everybody, Lance Russell along with Dave Brown bringing you another exciting hour of Championship Wrestling!"

[shydmples]

@phatalbert73 Yeah...Jerry Lawler used it.

[josepr1234]

NICE!!!!...!!!!....!!!!

[magirecords2004]

This song got me into Fusion at 14.

[jaredini]

Great use of Fender Rhodes electric piano on here.

[TheMasterNo6]

This track would also suit the original The Taking of Pelam 1,2,3...Could have used it in opening shots of NYC...but its also a more sultry summery piece so if the film had been set in Summer maybe they would have used it....Ah, I'm wrong, don't matter.

[TheMasterNo6]

Heard this on crap like Banzai and then heard it in 'Being There' with Peter Sellers-I basically laugh at the bit where Sellers spazzes it up big time leaving the house and walking into what looks like Harlem-a Honky looking like a Q Ball! This is such good music though-love it.

[pandaeyes42]

Talk about taking what was already a fantastic piece to a higher plane!

LOVE THIS!!!

[MrKnallfix]

Haven't heard this piece in nearly 35 years - I think it sounds better now than then - maybe it's the fabricated reality TV "music" that reminds us what good stuff there was out there in the mainstream back then

[Chiefjohncrow]

The late Allison Steele, of WNEW-FM New York, used this piece as the center of three then really spacey tunes, starting with Lothar and the Hand People (Space Hymn), Deodato (Alzo Sprach Zarathustra), and David Bowie (Space Oddity) on her Friday night midnight-hour program in 1973. Fire one up, let's go!!

[aidaedth]

lo oigo y m dan ganas de bailar, tenia 15 cuando salio el album,jaja m mueve las neuronas... m emociono gracias!, rovingeye2...

[TheSirTurquine]

this is awesome



[swimmerB0B]

classic deodato.... awesome!

[joaquimredator]

Eumir Deodato, Hermeto Pascoal, Eguiberto Gismonti, Dom Salvador.... esses caras são gênios, mestres maiores da música mundial. Viva o talento brasileiro.

[soyounoat]

The band Phish has been playing ASZ in this style, very much a tribute to Deodato's excellent arrangement of the classic, since the early 1990s. It has occasionally served as a centerpiece to an entire concert. But I suspect many of their fans have no knowledge of this. *THIS* Phish fan does!

[soushypnose]

i can only the solo of piano

listening bass so

Ray Charles who was seeing

and something like a proud of

someone else

and which like a guitar of70's

perhaps Deodato

[soushypnose]

i can only the solo of piano

[redofdeathGR]

magnifique! ;)

[tygress66]

This is my all time favorite piece of music!

[sleepybrownbear]

I just found out about this guy. I heard a sweet cover he did of "Rhapsody in Blue". Nice :D

[adoradamusica]

Fantastic composition! I've never heard it before. Thank you for sharing!

[isanchezcoll]

Este es el músico latino más progresivo Eumir Deodato...

[LEGSUDESIRE]

Pure Love

[MrAsilva125]

wow i was just thinking about this song the other day i remember this album cover when i was a kid back in the 70ths when i was a kid i put this song on with my uv black light on and i had painted fluorescent stars on my ceiling were glowing with the uv black light and poster wow that was the 70ths lol good song

[ericdapugi]

Genius

[ThatGuyFromTurkey]

Is that a cat crying?

[AndrewNewZealand]

Heck I'm hearing Gary Wright's Dream Weaver in the start of this song....I'm nearly 100% sure that Gary heard this before writing Dream Weaver....or he heard the music of someone else who heard this....or he heard some other piece of music that Deodato also based his music on....or whatever:-)

[kasteman1]

...if anyone calls for me, take a message, i'll be chillin' on Neptune for the next nine minutes...

[Zepster77]

@kasteman1 daaaamn right baby

[smooshmagoosh]

@kasteman1 friends mom just asked if i was ok all the sudden. i said yes im hanging out in space right now ill send you the link so you can join. she said she was making sure bc 2 ppl are dead at virginia tech 15 min away from my school but shes on her way to check it out haha

[jfcc9086]

Hidden masterpiece that frankly blows the original out of the water. I never heard it with that sound quality and without Being There. tx

[gbate]

This sounds better now than it did all of those years ago!

[Aqene1000]

Early Fusion music, but no one was calling that at the time ! Disco beat with classical arrangement. Barrry White Love Orchestra did something similar with an instryumental.

[Mortskcab]

It always fun listening to this song when your driving into a big city at night. I live in a rural area, but everytime I go to downtown I have this song playing!

[ezpowell]

Some people don't realize this was written by Holst. But Deodata's rendition is incredible. Listen to Nights in White Satin aswell - like modern classic rock in classical form, and with a Fender Strat! Imagination it takes to build music like that.

[MagnusJohanssonSWE]

@ezpowell

I think the original music is by Richard Strauss, isn't it? Eumir Deodato's arrangement is very good indeed except for Eumir's own very last cadence (Ab, Bb, C) which takes away the enormous power of the Strauss original (Am, G, C) just preceeding it. If only Richard Strauss had access to YouTube from his musical heaven he maybe would drop us a line letting us know what he thinks of Eumir Deodato's rendition. Maybe he's tapping his conductor baton to the beat of Billy Cobham's groove.

[SrdjanLimich]

@MagnusJohanssonSWE You're right! Original melody composed by R.Strauss.

[kurtizzyflush]

@MagnusJohanssonSWE Most pretentious post in the history of youtube music videos.

[MagnusJohanssonSWE]

@kurtizzyflush Why don't you discuss the music? Is it because you have nothing to say? Are you good at bullying only?

[stefanorezzonico]

@MagnusJohanssonSWE yes, Strauss, Richard Strauss

[MrJrpjazz]

@ezpowell "Also Sprach Zarathustra" was NOT written by Gustav Holst, but by Richard Strauss!

[THEATHLETICBACHELOR]

This song is wicked! I remember was on the radio, something else sounded like it. One of the few times when jazz was heard on AM radio...The short version that is.

[SrdjanLimich]

Guys! 70s was really good decade for music and not only for rock, and Eumir one more time just prove it. Thanks Brazil.

Really fantastic melody.

Thanks rovingeye2 for posting this original soundtrack.

Because so many times this music have been used in other themes.

Greetings from Armenia

A killer version back in 72 and still cuts it!!!!!! How cool!

[reedrichards82]

[musikTECH]

[elgorguz51]

Thank you rovingeye2 !! I loved this music when I listened so many years ago and still love it!!

[skyuser07]

Fukkin Excellent dude.

[ta5211]

アップしてくれてありがとう！

高校時代に初めてデオダートのこの曲を聞いた時は衝撃的でした。

[wbVeigYEzs]

The awesomeness of this song brings a tear to my eye.

[qe2man]

this reminds me of ramsey lewis trio,i had this in R S AFRICA many years ago and its still great

[mrbaither]

Far Out! I hadn't heard this one since back in the seventies, until I watched "Being There" the other day. I cannot believe they played it in its entirety. I can barely remember watching 2001 Space Odyssey decades ago, but I don't think it was played completely. Thanks for this one Rovingeye2.

Bil

[lhurien]

I heard the band play this live in the the jazz workshop in Boston back in the mid 70's... they were fabulous.

[ViciousMustard]

@lhurien

I hate you

[lhurien]

@ViciousMustard At the same club, the Jazz Workshop, the same year, I saw, Horace Silver with the Brecker Bros., George Benson and Earl Klugh, Yusef Lateef, Tony Williams.

[ViciousMustard]

@lhurien

:(

[reedrichards82]

I like this one better it's louder

[lcalazans]

This guy is crazy...! Brass arrangement is awesome !!! The guitar , bass, everyone of is awesome !!!

[biofh]

Spacehog did a great cover/homage of Deodato's arrangement on their first album. If you like this, it's definitely worth a listen.

[Sydney0Silk]

Shit i gave it a thumbs down but meant a thumbs up,this is funky,love it!!

[mriseborough]

Loved this since I first heard it. Thanks for posting...

[Queensews]

I love this! Helped me appreciate classical music so much that I bought the CD.

[leilaOue]
