A tornado of sound was da man and then some he was very intense and played smooth and at times played like a blizzard of sounds yo

If only I had a time-machine; the very 1st ‘trip’ back in time I would take would be going to a Rahsaan Roland Kirt concert.

Jimi was kinda the Coltrane of the guitar in terms of reaching and connecting with the people, Rahsaan Roland Kirk was his own Force, his own thing. Up there with the Giants Rahsaan Roland Kirk was the Rahsaan Roland Kirk of the saxophone! Bright Moments!

@@klaus8456 Agree totally.

The one and only Rasshan

Yes! Very well put.

My mind was blown when I heard Roland Kirk for the first time, which was the fantastic album ‘Prepare Thyself to Witness a Miracle’ [Highly recommended it]

For real though! I started listening to jazz about 16 years ago or so, and Rahsaan was one of the first handful of artists I discovered. I remember how badly I would have _killed_ to see actual *video* of Roland playing. I mean, it's pretty extreme stuff to imagine a man who could play two or three saxophones at the same time *musically* , or play a recorder with his freaking nose! Unbelievable!

Cheap Thrilll he‘s not blind😎 ah you said it... visionary!

I am with you completely as to his musicianship, but the chair destruction - what was that about ?

David Evans imo it‘s about leaving,the in a way artificial „concert situation „ destroing the comfortable „i play you listen and pay“ thing not the chair! we should ask ourselfs how much risk is involved in a „ classical“ jazz conzert everything is on the save side he was a show man but just as a side effect his main thing was sound he had a vision😎

Yes, Creative Master Genius, his intellectual conceptual development and expression is heightened

Truer words have never been spoken.

well said

You are correct, sir!

The song is called "Pedal Up"

Now you must know that there's all kind of crosses.. there's all kind of crosses you must deal with in life. We don't really have enough time to run down all the crosses that might cross you up, but if we can be any way of helping to tell you about some of the crosses, then you'll know some of the crosses that you've probably dealt with and just bring it back out of your mind again. Now, you might say 'I don't have no cross I have to deal with, he must be crazy.' Well if you lay down across someone tonight, you're putting yourself in a hell of a cross. ... You know what I mean? And for those that will not be laying down across someone, that have to lay down by themselves tonight, sometimes you'll get awful cross, 'cause you be lonely. You know what I mean? And if you go home tonight, 'cause somebody is taking care of your cross, you'll really be cross, see? So it really ain't all it's got nothing to do with, you know, the cross that you're trying to associate with, because we all have a cross that we must bear. Now there's the green cross, the white cross, the yellow cross, the black cross, the double cross, the criss cross, the wrong cross, the heavy cross, the music cross, the love cross, the old guy president cross, the old governor cross, the jail cross, the smoker cross, the cocaine cross.. All kind a crosses. I know y'all know some crosses you can shout out, let us know that you got a cross that you must bear. Ain't y'all got some crosses out there? What kind of crosses you got? Tell me about them! N'uh huh. See what I mean? We all have a cross. But now a cross ain't supposed to cross you up. You supposed to go on and get across the cross that you wanna get across and go on across that cross, make that cross do whatever you wanna do, to make you get yourself across, and once you done got across that cross, you supposed to look back across that cross and go on and deal with it and leave it alone. Yeah. I tell you, I tell you, the cross get's awful heavy. I tell you people been sleeping on Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Rahsaan Roland Kirk is capable to be on any qualified television show. Rahsaan Roland Kirk is capable to be and to stand up with anyone that calls himself a philosiphier. Because I know how to philosiphy in my own way. There's all kind a ways to philosiphy. Oh yeah. Yes. Yes. And not only Rahsaan Roland Kirk, there's other musicians that know how to philosiphy and deal with the situation that has been sleep on, people don't even want us on television, on prime shows, on beautiful black shows that we could be able to hold our own on, instead on the panel with all those other people that are supposed to be so hip, but they sit up there so dried up and they be judging and passing judgement on people, and it's a drag that they judge such beautiful people out of their life. So we must realize this, and if you can realize that this is a cross that they must deal with one day in their life, they will have to come on and take this cross in their hands and they might be awful cross is what I'm saying, because sometime when the cross gets heavy you get awful cross and you don't even know how to get across that cross, and when you look back across that cross, you mad and cross at yourself because you didn't even know how to deal with the cross that you got cross at.

Yes

Because those are more than just colors. They are a state of mind and a culture.
