May 17, 2008 - Sick! Rahsaan playing and approach just make me think of how fluently he speaks the language of music. He plays so passionatley and just freakin' swings.

May 17, 2008 - first of all... roland kirk is a true genius. but who is the drummer coz he's playin a left handed kit backwards. ive done it before (and it sounded pretty crap) but never seen anyone do it

May 17, 2008 - A true original. this clip is a little celloloid slice of heaven on earth. this truly is JAZZ at it's finest.
bedtime4bonzo Says:
May 17, 2008 - i'm not sure who the drummer is but he's playing right-handed and left-footed. that's odd.

May 17, 2008 - Another fine clip of the late greatest perfomer---ever. A rare bird, to say the least. This is a juicy treat that I just sumbled upon. I did not know that there were so many clips of Roland Kirk--I was afraid that soon he would be totally forgotten.

May 17, 2008 - Thought was titled "When Will the Blues Leave" Ok It starts with "Bags Groove" then at 2:04 goes into " When Will the Blues Leave".

May 17, 2008 - The drummer looks like the same guy from the same year playing behind Dexter Gordon on a clip that used to be here on youtube.

May 17, 2008 - While still in high school I got myself a Kirk album. I made quite a few people listen to it and they all thought me crazy.But now that I hear Kirk again, I can honestly say , they were out of their mind, as this is bloody good music.
