Roland Kirk is a real one.

Didn't Hendrix jam with him?,l seem to recall a bootleg of such in the early seventies.

🫂🕺💃 most talented jazz artist 🫂

What Africa Americans woman should emulate simply a classy and elegant woman who respects herself

Otra exquisitez de RRK.

IT IS FANTASTIC.

Johnny Mercer sings and sounds like a Black American man.

👍 Great stuff!" 🎵=🔑

This has been here for a long time - I see the standard complaints about downvotes. Remember them?

this is amazing

An absolute genius with great backing musicians.

Jethro Tull' s cover on their debut "This was" brought me here.

One of the classic Jazz compositions along with Brubeck's "take five ", Monks "round midnight" and many others . Got into Kirk through the" Inflated tear" album .

One of a kind as man and musician - NOBODY sounds like him

I’m just learning about him. He was blind too?

BRAVO!

I'm ashamed to say I've played flute for 44 years and never heard of Kirk until today. Brilliant. I have catching up to do.

Супер!!! в 1977 году запал на него

A great singer and a godfather of country music

“How many instruments can you play?” Rahsaan Roland Kirk: “Yes.”

RK is the coolest cat

Excellent. Can see where Ian Anderson gets some of his inspiration from! And I've seen Tull do that recorder up the nose trick, too!

This is the guy who got me hooked on jazz and started it all with the singing into the flute and vocal sounds plus multi-instrumental techniques. He was even adventurous enough to have played live with The Mothers of Invention. On top of all this, he was blind! Ian who?

Alienígena 👽👏 gancho, praia grande sp

A true original and a musical genius! So under recognized!

Great !!!!!

Where are these musicians today?

Una forza della natura, diventata arte.

Did I hear some scat in there as well?

I saw him at Ronnie Scotts in London 1972. The power went out due to a coal miners strike, and they set up candles on every table. Kirk said "We don't need no power to play our music" and he was guided to each table while soloed over the band.

When was this performance recorded? Diahann looks pretty young.

I love this one and can play it. Not as good as Roland though.

Spirit!

His body is an instrument

Sinatra/Mercer very good music . Beautiful classics in music during world war .This is music ;)

Circular breathing on a damn flute? I would have bet all my money that it could not have been done. Then if you had mentioned Kirk's name, I would have slowly eased my money back into my pocket...

Jethro Tull was also among the rockers who admired him. They also produced a serenade to a cuckoo version

Cooooo! I learned the intro on my guitar jus now!! Thank yall!!!!

Where do you think Ian Anderson got his inspiration?

He was brilliant and an astounding talent, likely never to be equaled.

PBS needs to do a documentary on this legend.

A pure artist who let nothing get in his way. Humbling!

Fantastic

One of a kind genius. Invented the singing into the flute technique too.

And Ian killed it

Sorry, but that song just ain't the same without Daffy Duck singing it. Daffy's is the only real version for that tune.

Wonderland !

This song is so vintage and yet still so classical and original and such a masterpiece.

My idol. I am not able to do a lot of things he was doing but never say no. He was a true ambassador of American culture in anyway. So many influences . I am just in love with him
