Roland Kirk: Four Classic Albums (Introducing Roland Kirk / Kirks Work / We Free Kings / Domino) (2CD)
Ref: AMSC1111
£5.49
(UK Postage Free )
Quantity:
AVID Jazz presents four classic Roland Kirk albums plus including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD.
Introducing Roland Kirk, Kirks Work, We Free Kings and Domino.
Roland Kirk burst upon the jazz scene playing his weird assortment of instruments from tenor sax to the manzello (a soprano sax sounding instrument) and the stritch (which is a kind of straight alto sax). Our first selection is Introducing Roland Kirk accompanied by Ira Sullivan on trumpet, William Burton on piano and Sonny Brown on drums. In terms of how his sound later developed this, his second album recorded in 1960 was a relatively straight forward affair, although there are signs of what was to come in some of his own compositions. Kirks Work recorded in July 1961 highlights the more soul and R& B side of Kirk rather than the later more out there side! An often overlooked album featuring Jack McDuff on Hammond Organ, Joe Benjamin on bass and Arthur Taylor on drums it represents yet another stage in Kirks development. We Free Kings recorded across August 16th & 17th August 1961 features two line ups. Joining Kirk on five tracks are Richard Wyands on piano, Art Davis on bass and Charlie Persip on drums. For the other six tracks Kirk is joined by Hank Jones on piano, Wendell Marshall on bass and again Charlie Persip on drums. Although primarily a blues sounding album there are signs of things to come as Kirk began developing his simultaneously played three horn sound! He can also be heard playing the flute and kind of singing at the same time! Domino concludes our tribute to Roland Kirk where our man is joined on the first six tracks by Andrew Hill on piano, Vernon Martin on bass and Henry Duncan on drums. For the last four tracks he is joined by Wynton Kelly on piano, Vernon Martin again on bass and Roy Haynes on drums. On this album we can finally see the blossoming of the true Kirk sound and as the original liner notes attest ..Roland Kirks stature as a major jazz figure is growing quickly ..this album his first with his own band, is important .this one is a great one .it will stay in your collections .it is a milestone in jazz history. Praise indeed!
All four albums plus have been digitally re-mastered
