I was going through some of my dads LPs and listened to the disco version (Magic Bird of fire) I was blown away. Then I thought look this song up on youtube and DAM now I'm really blown away. My generation (all electronic can't come close to this! Totally off the hook. My dad said his generation paved the way. Dad you were right. He doesn't know about this so tonight I will sit him down and blow him away back 2 the 70's! WOW! Thank God for youtube!
This is GREAT! I remember when this came out around 77/78 on the Salsoul label and I still have the 12 inch. Will always keep my vinyl! The nuances of humans playing real instruments sets it off from electronic gadgets. This is the result of practicing your music lessons - as you hear and see, it is not easy to sit for hours to get it down pat.
Salsoul and MFSB are the two reasons why I truly love Disco era (and the decades before that). Unfortunately, subsequent use of full orchestras hasn't seen uprise in music.
The first time I heard the 12" of the original Salsoul Orchestra 'Magic Bird of Fire' was in a small club 'way back then. I almost didn't survive! Totally knocked-out! Stravinsky was/is my favorite of all composers, and your arrangement of his Firebird is absolutely phenomenal. It has a special place in my heart, and is connected with some hot, hot memories.
These videos are so precious !!! It's really amazing to see all that great work for recording tunes we listen ! "Magic Bird Of Fire" is a masterpiece, and we understand why ! Everything is very precise, the musician are so talented and Vincent Montana Jr is a perfectionist !! I love this video.
