53: RASHAAN ROLAND KIRK, an introduction part 2

A proper introduction of the musical world of Rashaan

Roland Kirk needs -needless to say- more than just 10 songs.

I'm still choosing from the classic 60's Mercury output here.

(though the saxophone concerto I snug in

yesterday was actually from 1973)

-

Towards the end of the 60's and during the seventies

his music became a (whole) different story.

More extravaganza (yes, can you imagine that?)

and more experimental in a way.

-

But that's something for later on, for now,

let's swing like mad and put the next 10 on!

-

Included here is the song "that inspired" Ian Anderson from

Jethro Tull to pick up the flute..

Anyone with half a brain knows to which one I'm referring?
