About this album

Whirlwinds is a sleek, assured jazz-funk fusion album that shows Eumir Deodato balancing orchestral sophistication with tight, propulsive rhythms. Released in 1974, it followed his breakthrough success and confirmed his gift for turning jazz, funk and pop material into polished crossover statements. Deodato’s arrangements bring a vivid, cinematic sheen to the record, while performances such as his versions of Moonlight Serenade, Ave Maria and Do It Again highlight both his melodic touch and rhythmic drive. The album stands as a strong example of 1970s fusion at its most accessible, where refined studio craft meets clear commercial instinct.
