Prelude To . . .

VINYL FORMAT. Exact repro reissue, manufactured by Rhino. Originally released in 1971, this wonderfully soulful blend of folk, jazz, funk and psychedelia was orchestrated by the legendary Eumir Deodato. This album features the cream of America's early '70s session musicians, including Barbara Massey, a session vocalist for artists such as Cat Stevens, and Ernie Calabria, a guitarist in Harry Belafonte's band in the '60s. The singers were backed up by a fine selection of guest appearances from jazz titans Keith Jarrett and Joe Beck. Prelude To . . . is a lost classic that has attracted ever-increasing interest from DJs, samplers and discerning collectors.
