This single-disc compilation is the Rahsaan Roland Kirk entry in the
Talkin' Verve: Roots of Acid Jazz series. Kirk's inclusion into any
discussion of acid jazz is nothing short of mandatory, as his
recordings have been used for sampling, scratching, and countless
other digital dissections since the art form began. Kirk's renegade
polyphonic approach and unique techniques -- which often included
performing on several reed instruments including the tenor, flute,
clarinet, manzello, and stritch simultaneously -- typify the D.I.Y.
attitude central to the acid jazz movement. The liberation which
flows throughout tracks such as "Black Diamond" and "Untitled Blues"
reinvents bop and free jazz for an audience seeking something
ultimately musical, rather than relying on the obvious novelty many
associate with Kirk. However, there is room for plenty of the sonic
brilliance that is uniquely Rahsaan. The spoken-word introduction and
swinging narration during "Hip Chops" is one. Another is the
chooglin' rhythms and virtually indescribable vocal harmonics that
define "Dyna-Soar." The double-time shuffle of "Jive Elephant" -- an
exceptional reworking of Henry Mancini's "Baby Elephant Walk" -- is
practically comical given its frenetic pace. Straight-ahead bop fans
should also be pleased with the inclusion of "Black Diamond," "Get in
the Basement," and "Narrow Bolero" -- the latter originating from
Kirk's eternally relevant Kirk in Copenhagen disc. Conspicuously
absent are some of Kirk's most memorable sides from this era: "Soul
Bossa Nova," "We Free Kings," and "I Talk With the Spirits." However,
the sheer magnitude of Kirk's works allows for some discrepancy.
Talkin' Verve: Roots of Acid Jazz is a great introduction to the
uncanny and ironically picturesque music of Rahsaan Roland Kirk.

We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated

that wants/needs it. More pre sites fills this purpose.
