Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An important programming note!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The end of the week approacheth,\u00a0and changes are afoot!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong> had a home on Viva Radio<\/strong> for nearly seven years. As of this week, that relationship is coming to an end, I will be leaving Viva, and the show will exist purely as a podcast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I make this change reluctantly, but due to a string of unfortunate technical difficulties the show did not air in its time slot at least twice in a month, and my requests for explanations or guarantees that these problems would be fixed going forward have gone ignored.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Funky16Corners Radio Show will continue to drop every week, on Friday. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in <\/a>iTunes<\/a>,<\/strong> listen on your mobile device via the TuneIn<\/strong> app, or click on the link here at the blog and stream or download the episodes.<\/p>\n

So stay tuned, keep digging the show, and I will keep you informed of any further developments.<\/p>\n

___________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

As a big Steely Dan<\/strong> fan, I can never get enough of cover versions of their songs (a few of which have appeared here before), and the one I bring you today is especially cool.<\/p>\n

What you see before you is a 3:30 edit of the original 6:29 track recorded live by Eumir Deodato<\/strong> and Airto Moreira<\/strong> for the 1974 \u2018Deodato\/Airto In Concert\u2019 LP.<\/p>\n

This cut is yet more proof that if you aren\u2019t down with the CTI sound, you are missing out some some of the grooviest, funky (and often smooth) jazz of the early 70s.<\/p>\n

The arrangement (aside from its lack of voice) isn\u2019t too far removed from the Steely Dan OG, with an extra layer of Fender Rhodes, plenty of percussion (Rubens Bassini<\/strong> and Gilmore Degap<\/strong>) and nice, heavy horn section.<\/p>\n

The hot lead guitar is provided by John Tropea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interestingly, though they are billed equally on the cover, Deodato and Airto do not perform together on the record. Airto opened for Deodato at the Felt Forum date from which the performances were taken, and although their tracks are both included on the LP, there is no crossover.<\/p>\n

That said, I dig Deodato\u2019s stuff from the period, and this is a great example thereof.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll see you all next week.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
