Several years ago, his jazzy rendition of "The Theme From 2001" was an en- joyable hit, and the follow-up album, Deodato II, contained fascinating rearrangements of "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Nights in White Satin," as well as some exciting original music. But ever since he switched labels from CTI to MCA, los- ing producer Creed Taylor in the process, Deodato's music has come more and more to' sound like sophisticated muzak. In that respect, his new album, Very Together (MCA-2219), is his worst effort to date. Deodato appears to be bog- d dawn by two problems. # this time consist of "Star Trek!" being shouted from time to time. DEODATO has included five originals. With the exception of "Univac Loves You," all are medium tempo jazz-rockers, thankfully free of vocals. Un- fortunately, they just don't go anywhere. "Univac Loves You" is a pleasant slow piece that uses "Holiday Inn Room Keys" as percussion. One can only hope that Deo- dato rediscovers the magic that graced his earlier music. He may be making these albums too quickly. This one sounds I as if it could have been writ- ten and performed in a few days.
