CHRIS BANGS - FIREBIRD LP
BANGSY RETURNS WITH A NEW SOLO ALBUM THAT TAKES HIS UNIQUE SPIN ON JAZZ DJ'ING AND TURNS IT TO PRODUCING AN ALBUM THAT IS TOTALLY REMINISCENT OF THAT CLASSIC ERA ON THE UK JAZZ DANCE SCENE. "FIREBIRD" ENCOMPASSES A LIFETIME OF CHRIS'S MUSICAL INFLUENCES TO PRESENT A JAZZ-TASTIC SMORGASBORD OF BOSSA, FUSION , BOP JAZZ FUNK, SALSA AND A MYRIAD SELECTION OF OTHER JAZZ STYLINGS ALL DELIVERED WITH BANGSY'S TRADEMARK EAR FOR THE GROOVE AND MELODIES TO GO WITH IT.
FROM THE DANCER'S DELIGHT FUSION OF "FIREBIRD" & TOUGH BATUCADA REWORK OF DOM UM ROMAO'S "KITCHEN (COSINA)", THE BOSSA ( WITHOUT THE DODGY) OF CAL TJADERS' "SAMBA DO SUENO" , SURELY A RADIO SMASH TO THESE EARS, BRAZILIAN DISCO FUNK JAZZ "SAMBARA" VIA THE EPIC SAMBA FUSION "LIFETIMES" , THE ALBUM TAKES A LIFETIME OF CHRIS'S MUSICAL INFLUENCES TO PRODUCE A TRULY UNIQUE LP WHICH SURELY ONLY HE COULD HAVE MADE.
