Ancestral Traveling TRAVELIN' MAN DEPARTURE #1 Stanley Cowell Musa: Ancestral Streams Strata East : 1974 SC, piano, electric piano, kalimba (African thumb piano). We're not sure why it's taken us so long to devote a post to the wonderful pianist and composer Stanley Cowell . Like many fans and critics, we're probably guilty of overlooking and underrating his work from the late '60s and early '70s. He recorded [...]

The Endlessly Inventive Rahsaan Roland Kirk

Jul 11, 2011, 12:11am Geezer Music Club
The Endlessly Inventive Rahsaan Roland Kirk Blind for most of his life and slowed by a stroke in his later years, jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk still managed to make his mark in a big way before his death in 1977. He was the very definition of cutting-edge, playing a staggering number of different instruments - sometimes several at once - and leaving behind a unique legacy in the jazz world. Born as Ronald Theodore Kirk in Columbus, Ohio, he was a professional musician by his mid-teens, already skilled at trumpet, clarinet, and sax. He moved around a lot, spending much of the [...]

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Pedal Up

Feb 19, 2011, 8:30pm Doklands
As a kid, I'm sure I must have seen Rahsaan Roland Kirk on the telly. I definitely saw footage of someone playing two saxophones at once, and encountering this at an impressionable age meant that it seemed like a perfectly sensible sort of thing to do. Kirk didn't just leave it there though. Sometimes when both saxes were going, he'd add a flute and play it with his nose. I've got to say that is showing off a bit. The whole twin sax thing, however, really isn't a gimmick. He played that way [...]

Pipes and Woodwinds: Roland Kirk Edition

Pipes and Woodwinds: Roland Kirk Edition Roland Kirk: Mingus-Griff Song Roland Kirk: Mood Indigo [ purchase ] Rahsaan Roland Kirk was a one-man woodwind section. He could play three reeds simultaneously, and then go right into a flute solo (as he does on Ellington's "Mood Indigo"). He also modified his horns to produce unique instruments like the manzello and the stritch. and he was fond of throwing a siren into the mix whenever the mood struck. He was often [...]

Rahsaan Roland Kirk plays three saxes, flute at once

Jun 10, 2010, 4:31pm Life Just Bounces
Rahsaan Roland Kirk plays 3 saxes flute at once (´66)
Pretty self-explanatory title here. There was a video on YouTube recently of RRK performing "Making Love After Hours" in Norway in 1967, but some copyright miser got it taken down. This one's almost as good, notwithstanding the weird interludes featuring clips of old-timey cars and a guy at the end interrupting the music to complain about people who interrupt music by talking over it. edit > some of "Making Love After Hours" appears as the second part of this video , including the excellent nose flute [...]

The one-man horn section

Sep 2, 2009, 1:12pm Tonegents
The one-man horn section What's cooler than a guy playing a saxamaphone? A blind guy playing three saxamaphones at the same time... That's how Rahsaan Roland Kirk rolled. Plus he played flute with his nose. So he pretty much fuckin' rules no matter what the music sounds like, no? Actually, I'm still delving into his stuff, but I likes what I hear. This one's kind of a Big Band Latin Jazz tune that really gets into a nice groove on the solos... Rahsaan [...]

Slow week. Busy week. I've got a few submissions from musical people sitting in my inbox, but haven't really been making/taking the time to listen to them and figure things out. Working. Writing. Posing for pictures. Thinking about the future. Working towards it. Wade over a Signal Response has launched a new feature called Today . It's kinda like Twitter, but also not.

Affordability Deterioration, A Correction, Addressing Rumours, and a Song

Sep 20, 2007, 4:06pm A Bulldozer With A Wrecking Ball Attached
According to the RBC Affordability Index , an average bungalow in Greater Vancouver will consume 71% of an average pre-tax income. In a recent post , I made some wildly off-base claims about the Roland Kirk Quartet. It turns out that the song I was thinking of wasn't "Now Please Don't You Cry Beautiful Edith", but "Blue Rol". A Bulldozer With A Wrecking Ball Attached apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused. And to make it up to you, there's a special mp3 for you at the bottom of this post! [...]
