Movie Reviews of Jazz Icons: Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Live in '63 and 67
Movie Review: Icons Indeed
Summary: 5 Stars
Having seen Roland Kirk three times, and spoken to him on one occasion, I was truly interested in this installment of the Jazz Icon series more than most. Little video exists of Rahsaan so this would be rare indeed. I was not disappointed.
Here is Kirk, a decade before I would see him, playing much of the repertoire that I came to love. Also here is Kirk with the woodwind acrobatics that few could copy: playing three horns at once, playing for seamless minutes through his "circular breathing" technique, and pulling out his little noisemakers (whistles, music boxes) to add punctuation to the songs.
True to form, the three shows on the DVD are from Europe, where jazz has a much greater following than here, but who cares? Here are the shows for you and me to see. The black and white camera work is very good and the audio is clean.
If you know about Kirk, you should have this. If you don't, this is a great introduction to one of the special musicians in jazz.
Summary of Jazz Icons: Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Live in '63 and 67
This collection presents Rahsaan Roland Kirk playing with his entire instrumental arsenal of flutes, siren, music box, whistles, manzello, stritch, clarinet, and tenor saxophones-sometimes simultaneously! Even longtime Rahsaan Roland Kirk fans will be surprised and delighted by the renditions of Milestones and The Sandpiper. One of Europe's most highly regarded and creative drummers, Daniel Humair, accompanies Kirk on two of the three concert videos and on the other, the ever-resourceful Alex Riel, of Bill Evans Trio fame, provides the fire and the swing. This collection includes two different renditions of "Three For the Festival", arguably Kirk's most spectacular performance piece. Featuring a 24 page booklet with liner notes by John Kruth, forward by Drothaan Kirk, rare photographs and memorabilia collage.Music Video & Concerts DVD Video
