The Salsoul Orchestra
The Salsoul Orchestra was a groundbreaking disco-era ensemble that merged soul, Latin, funk, and classical influences into an opulent and danceable sound. Formed in the mid-1970s by Vincent Montana Jr., a vibraphonist and former member of MFSB (Mother, Father, Sister, Brother), the group served as the house band for Salsoul Records. The orchestra was known for its lush string arrangements, pulsating rhythms, and a massive lineup that at times included over 30 musicians.
They played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of disco, delivering hits like “Tangerine,” “Nice 'N' Naasty,” and festive favorite “Christmas Jollies.” Their instrumental prowess and sophisticated production helped elevate dance music into something more orchestral and cinematic. With contributions from some of the best session musicians of the era, The Salsoul Orchestra continues to influence modern producers and DJs, as evidenced by the frequent remixes and reworks of their classic tracks.
