I'm well overdue with this, but out of all the people in the music world, particularly those associated with the soul and disco worlds who have passed recently like Major Harris of The Delfonics and Bobbie Smith of The Spinners and most recently, Richie Havens , I couldn't possibly let the passing of Vince Montana, on April 13th go unacknowledged here. As a vibraphonist, arranger and producer, if there was anyone whose work and pedigree [...]

En af alle discotiders største aktøre, Vincent Montana, Jr , der iblandt mange ting var langtidsmedlem af MFSB -kollektivet og manden bag The Salsoul Orchestr a, døde i weekenden, 85 år gammel. Ydermere vil det alsidige musiktalent med den lange karriere blive særligt husket, for de talrige soulproduktioner, der slap ud af Philadelphia igennem 70erne og start-80erne. The Philly Soul , som i de sene 60ere blomstrede op i Philadelphia , Pennsylvania, og som nød stor popularitet igennem 70erne, var soulmusik med store træk på funk og instrumenter [...]

Beyond his work both with MFSB and with The Salsoul Orchestra, Montana's work appears on several [...]

After lending their soulful touch to Inner Life's classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" in November, San Francisco funk house outfit Whitenoize have outdone themselves with their first release of the new year. The latest installment of the duo's remix series for Salsoul Records finds them transforming a classic Salsoul Orchestra track into a full-fledged disco house dance-floor-filler. Bombastic percussion and ebullient 70s synths blend seamlessly beneath a throbbing funk bass that renders the disco ball cover art entirely appropriate. Catch the Ultra Records release on Beatport today. Purchase: Beatport [...]

This may well be the femininely sung equivalent to The Sugarhill Gangs’ ‘Rappers Delight.’ As not only are the vocals delivered in such a lyrical fashion, but the timing and execution is almost rap like. Made in 1983 and later engineered & remixed with additional instruments added (in 1998) by the UK house music legends Full Intention (Jon Pearn & Michael Gray); ‘Love Break’ by the unbelievably talented Salsoul Orchestra, has inspired many and disappointed a few. Knowing its breadth and depth of clarity which resides within this subtle and thrilling number, you can see why [...]

Happy 4th of July, I am thankful for living in a country where so much great music has been birthed. America "Ventura Highway" MP3 *sorry I couldnt find my re-edit, I think its on my studio computer but this is the jam. This Salsoul Jam has some great drums, and is a direct result of Latin immigrants taking disco and adding their own flavor to it. Its what makes this country great.

Goodness knows why this was not on the A Side when this came out originally, but unlike a true gentleman to hold a grudge this forever endorsed orchestra which executed musical pieces and structures like a militant army which was sent from the angel Gabriel and the Lord himself, The Salsoul Orchestra will forever go down as one of finest fifty.. yes.. fifty piece orchestral concepts ever known to man. (And that’s not forgetting the eighteen violinists to boot too!) Formed in 1974 and disbanding sadly in 1982, Vincent Montana Jr wrote, conducted and produced The Salsoul Orchestra [...]

Pues bien queridos lectores ahora ya he regresado a mi hogar y quiero compartir con ustedes una experiencia musical que no sólo me pareció fantástica sino que también me traslado a otra época y me ilustró con ideas que hoy 2010 muchos Dj's siguen aplicando. ¿Dónde está el origen del disco? quizá y unos dicen que en el Rock, otros en el Funk, otros en el Soul, o quizá y hasta tiene algo de Big
