Roland Kirk, the amazing one-man saxophone section and sublime
soloist, had yet to add "Rahsaan" to his name when he recorded
his first album for Prestige in 1961. It wasn't yet quite clear
to many, even people at the center of the jazz community, that
Kirk's gifts went considerably beyond the ability to play three
horns at once. Gradually, it began to dawn on one and all that
the man's almost superhuman energy and dedication were matched
by musicianship based as firmly in tradition as in innovation.
Eventually, it became possible to accept as parts of Kirk's
kaleidoscopic expression those odd instruments the manzello and
the strich, not to mention the nose flute and kirkbam that he
added later. And what a tenor saxophonist. Kirk's Work is a
milestone in the brief, brilliant career of a major artist. It
was recorded with Joe Benjamin and Arthur Taylor.
