Reissue, originally released in 1961. Roland Kirk was one of the most creative, extravagant figures in jazz history. A master multi-instrumentalist with no boundaries in terms of language, style, and technique. Here, you find him co-leading a strong studio session with organ specialist, Jack McDuff. Backed up by Joe Benjamin on bass and Art Taylor on drums, Kirk and McDuff give voice to a soulful post-bop set full of groovy riffs and highly inventive instrumental ping pong. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and released in 1961 by Prestige Records, this is a fine early step in Kirk's varied and intense career. Clear vinyl.

Excellent early work from Roland Kirk. He plays alto, tenor, and soprano -- and on all tracks, he plays them in his unique "3-in-1" style, in which he's actually blowing all horns at the same time! The result is an incredible sound, unlike anyone else we can think of -- and it's an amazingly raw tone that still swings very hard. Players include Jimmy Madison on piano, Carl Pruitt on bass, and Hank Duncan on drums -- a really rootsy quartet that helps Roland hit a really gutbuckety sound on the record. Titles include "Triple Threat," "Slow Groove," "Roland's Theme," "Easy Living," "The Nearness of You," and "A La Carte."
