Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Blues for Alice download song

Jimi Hendrix wanted him to play at his funeral!

I've said so many times that RK has the Dexter Gordon soul in his center.  Not that DG is the prominence, but def the seasoning that formed this genius' horn.

roland kirk genius no doubt.thats all folks.

In 1963 I heard about Roland Kirk and I was a great fan from that first moment. His very original way of playing struck me and inspired me e to improvise on the saxophone and keep on doing it.

Had to see Rahsaan live to fully appreciate his impact. Was privileged twice.

the first jazz record that I bought..

Is this hank jones or the other piano player listed

Wow this group is in the zone, awesome!

its rashaad rk. he hated when ppl skipped hos first name

RRK was truly an accomplished musician as well as a flamboyant showman! Although he was unable to see his vision of the music was unlimited!

Beautiful. thanks.

I was driving with my son and I played a Kirk song and he was, “yeah I heard this..” I was like , “ really?” He says, “it’s From CupHead!” Sure enough Ruse of An Ooze is pretty much a Blues for Alice at x1.75 speed. In fact I’d say most of cuphead music is Roland Kirk music!

I saw Roland Kirk play live, Club 43 in Manchester UK appx 1968. Club 43 had recently moved to Shudehill area of Manchester.
