The Planets: Reimagined

What's going on here? I was just saying that somebody sounded like they were recycling Tomita and here comes a protean entertainment composer/arranger going right to the source and redoing "Planets" itself. Bristling with the kind of energy Deodato brought to his classical reworkings, Levy makes his mark with this big band jazzed up version of "Planets" . With it's spare no expense presentation, he's left a work that's going to take some doing to top. Even if you don't qualify as a classical tourist, all it takes is an appreciation of instrumental music to feel right at home here. Killer stuff from a killer cat.
