Herbie Mann – Bird In A Silver Cage (LP, Album, Stereo, Presswell, 1976, Atlantic SD 18209)

Why This Record Matters
Bird In A Silver Cage brings Herbie Mann’s jazz flute into a disco-influenced setting shaped by co-producer and arranger Sylvester Levay. A Munich Philharmonic string ensemble and insistent dance rhythms frame the extended title track and “Birdwalk.” The album also includes Mann’s brief version of Silver Convention’s “Fly, Robin, Fly.”
