<h1>Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire -- Discipline Global Mobile Shopping Cart</h1> Digitally remastered. <img src="https://www.nexternal.com/dgm/images/mahavishnu_birdsfSM.jpg" align="right" alt="Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire" name="Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire" border="0" hspace="10" /> Mahavishnu Orchestra: Jerry Goodman (electric violin); Jan Hammer (piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Mini-Moog synthesizer); John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar, electric 6 & 12-string guitars); Rick Laird (acoustic & electric basses); Billy Cobham (drums, gong).Recorded at Trident Studios, London, England and CBS Studios, New York, New York in 1972. Includes liner notes by Bill Milkowski.All tracks are digitally remastered.Guitarist John McLaughlin was in on the birth of jazz-rock fusion, having played with both Miles Davis and Tony Williams' Lifetime in the early '70s. McLaughlin applied what he'd learned from these artists to his own pioneering fusion band, the Mahavishnu Orchestra. This second effort is the Orchestra's definitive recording. The tempestuous mix of jazz, rock, and Eastern influences is at its height here, and all of the players in this notoriously ego-plagued group challenge themselves--and each other--to push the envelope.The themes, generally stated by McLaughlin and searing electric violinist Jerry Goodman, sound regal, unfolding in an elegant, magisterial way. Drummer Billy Cobham (another Miles alumnus) provides pounding polyrhythms over which McLaughlin and Goodman mix it up with keyboardist Jan Hammer. Hammer's synthesizer solos blazed a new trail for the synthesizer as a lead instrument, particularly in his guitar-like use of pitch-bend. The pastoral, acoustic strains of "Thousand Island Park" provide a brief respite before the listener is hurled back into the firestorm. "Hope" could be a distant cousin of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," while the closing "Resolution" bears similarities to RED-era King Crimson, making it plain that BIRDS OF FIRE takes both sides of the jazz-rock sound seriously. <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> <li>SKU: 7464-COL</li> </ul> Other products in the category <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Category1" title="CDs">CDs</a>: <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product648" title="21st Century Schizoid Band - Live In Italy (CD)">21st Century Schizoid Band - Live In Italy (CD)</a> -- Official Bootleg Volume Three</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product327" title="Adrian Belew - Coming Attractions">Adrian Belew - Coming Attractions</a> -- "a sneak preview of works in progress"</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product328" title="Adrian Belew - Salad Days">Adrian Belew - Salad Days</a> -- SALAD DAYS contains rare tracks as well as previously unreleased live recordings.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product726" title="Adrian Belew - Side One">Adrian Belew - Side One</a> -- Featuring Les Claypool and Danny Carey.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product833" title="Adrian Belew - Side Three">Adrian Belew - Side Three</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product773" title="Adrian Belew - Side Two">Adrian Belew - Side Two</a> -- "pushing the limits of modern guitar playing"</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1091" title="Agent 22 - Tom Griesgraber, Jimmy Patton, Ryan Moran">Agent 22 - Tom Griesgraber, Jimmy Patton, Ryan Moran</a> -- "Serves as an object lesson on how to form a Stick, guitar and drums band"</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product930" title="Asia - Alpha">Asia - Alpha</a> -- Their sophomore effort.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product932" title="Asia - Arena">Asia - Arena</a> -- Special Edition</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product929" title="Asia - Asia">Asia - Asia</a> -- Self-titled debut</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product931" title="Asia - Astra">Asia - Astra</a> -- Third Album with bonus tracks.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product934" title="Asia - The Very Best of Asia: Heat of the Moment (1982-1990)">Asia - The Very Best of Asia: Heat of the Moment (1982-1990)</a> -- Digitally remastered</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product216" title="AUTOGRAPHED - Robert Fripp & The League of Crafty Guitarists - Intergalactic Boogie Express">AUTOGRAPHED - Robert Fripp & The League of Crafty Guitarists - Intergalactic Boogie Express</a> -- Concert recordings from the 1991 tour of Europe</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product452" title="AUTOGRAPHED - Robert Fripp String Quintet - The Bridge Between">AUTOGRAPHED - Robert Fripp String Quintet - The Bridge Between</a> -- Signed by: Robert, Trey, Bert, Paul and Hideyo</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1146" title="Barry Cleveland - Hologramatron">Barry Cleveland - Hologramatron</a> -- "a musical continuum spanning art rock, psychedelia, metal, ambient, world music, trance, and funk."</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product635" title="Barry Cleveland - Memory & Imagination">Barry Cleveland - Memory & Imagination</a> -- Double-CD compilation.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product636" title="Barry Cleveland - Volcano">Barry Cleveland - Volcano</a> -- With Michael Pluznick, Michael Manring, Norbert Stachel ... and others</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1108" title="BASE3 - Darkmatter">BASE3 - Darkmatter</a> -- Limited Green Edition 100 signed + numbered by the band.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1222" title="BASE3 - Live From Earth">BASE3 - Live From Earth</a> -- 74 minutes of absolutely essential BASE3.
