Io c'ero quella volta lì a Bologna! Concerto più vicino ad un sabba collettivo: alla fine RK cercava con la mano un contatto col pubblico e cominciò una transumanza emozionante verso il palco per accarezzargli la mano tesa mentre lui, con l'altra mano su due Sax, non smetteva di inondare il Palasport di una alluvione di note che sembravano uscire direttamete dalla sua anima per aggnciarsi a quella di ognuno di noi! La Musica come rito collettivo, comunicazione senza mediazioni culturali! Un esperienza indimenticabile: dopo 47 anni ancora un brivido mi percorre la schiena!

I can't believe I just became aware of Rahsaan Roland Kirk because I Googled who wrote: "Spirits Up Above". Thank goodness for videos & recordings because Mr. Kirk passed away in 1977, at the age of 42. What a phenomenal musician, & to think... he went blind at age 2. I'm fully sighted & can't even learn how to play the piano. I'm so grateful for other people who have the natural ability to make such wonderful music because I can't, but, I sure can listen to it...YES!
Ian Anderson is great but he listened to and learned from Roland Kirk. The proof is that Rahsaan was playing these licks long before Ian even picked up the flute...
Still. It's cool.Ian and Kirk. I'm glad they both did/do their thing. Look around. There's not a lot of other contenders.Just enjoy the tunes. We're so fortunate.
A one of a kind sax and woodwind technician including the gazoo and the whistle. I discovered this guy Roland Kirk when I was about 15 years old (1967) maybe alittle before then. Forty years later I still desire to hear this rare musician play using multiple horns, bells, chants and whistles that characterizes the soul of jazz in perhaps its finest years. He does it like you've never seen before.
"A Volunteered slavery is something that we all know ", plain truth, but this also means to me that Rahsaan was aware of what was happening in Italy at that moment. This video has a great historical and artistic value.
Lol, thanks, you made me discovered something I always ignored! My first language is French and we write it with an "Y" in French. The "Y" looks more English and the "I" more French but I was mistaken. I just looked it up on Google...
@BebopsHouse That's right! My point, unclearly stated, was rather that a word like that risks to become a prophecy with time (in family and society as well).
is the baritone player Charles Davis? And that great singing pianist? Excuse my ignorance (but not as bad as doowopdidler: wakie wakie). A great concert in a great place - Red Bologna!
@ndodro Rahsaan was quite a joker...and I believe what he was referring to was the, 'wonderful world of Marriage'. lol ... he called it Volunteer Slavery,..and so do I!!! lol
Assuming I took the bait you laid out. While you were trying hard to backpedal, provide a mini-GRAMMAR lesson (but ended up spelling grammar wrong), and sound intelligent in all your comments it kinda just ended up flopping right in your face. You're a funny guy, I'll give you that
Bravo, now that you have demonstrated an ability to spell, let's see if you can take the next step and perceive the inherent contradiction in your logic. You wrote that, "It just won't work with people that are intellectually bright..." "It" however worked with you and thus you are obviously not intellectually bright. Thanks for playing along. By the way, "not everybody remembers Jethro Tull," unless you count yourself and two friends as everybody. Perhaps in your world, that is everybody.
If you were the intellectual you claim to be, you would know that your punctuation is wrong. Your question, "You think......-" requires a ?. Your sentence, "It just won't work..," begins with the pronoun "it" which does not refer to a noun or noun phrase. You used "it" as the subject of a verb that expresses a condition or action wtihout reference to an agent, e.g., "It is raining." The verb you used is "will" as "won't" for will not. "It" worked with you. You're not bright. Au revoir.

Quanti cannoni ti sei fumato?
At the Philmore Was tRoland Kirk, opening for Santana, was the first live jazz I ever saw. The next day I gave all my Rock albums to my cousin

The most amazing musician I've ever seen live

Seeing Rahsaan live was a life altering mind blowing musical journey unlike any other.
Ian Anderson is great but he listened to and learned from Roland Kirk. The proof is that Rahsaan was playing these licks long before Ian even picked up the flute...

The first tune they play in this clip is Freaks for the Festival. Great!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting!
Three for the Festival.
Goes by both names
Great groove @about 5.20 and beyond ...........Ha Ha Send em to Sicily
That's the part I didn't like.
Un genio.

Saw him as kid in Kentucky. Blue my mind.
this man clearly deserved AT LEAST two more hands!
Pure joy!!! Takes me back to Slug's in the east

If I drove an 18-wheeler I'd have that sound as my horn. When he hits those low end notes, you best get out of the way! LOL!
oh my. 2 flutes at the same time.
Magnificient!!
KENNY ROGERS BARI SAX ....amazing player.
Thanks so much :)
Sensacional, cada dia que passa vejo que tenho que estudar muito.
Lol, thanks, you made me discovered something I always ignored! My first language is French and we write it with an "Y" in French. The "Y" looks more English and the "I" more French but I was mistaken. I just looked it up on Google...
Rolands main flute influence was Jean-Pierre Rampal. You can tell because Rampal's so damn funky....
Hey, Ian Anderson! Roland Kirk called, he wants his sound back!
please someone tell me who the bari sax player is. i love the beginning!
is that part (8:03) a tribute for "hey jude" ?
MUITO BOM ! DEMAISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I'll tell ya how, WITH MADD SKILLS N PRACTISE.
DIO
@BebopsHouse That's right! My point, unclearly stated, was rather that a word like that risks to become a prophecy with time (in family and society as well).
He's playing flute and recorder at the same time! What? How do you adjust your embouchure for that?! Awesome...
Music Education For All I love your videos btw! Very helpful.
He says that Ian Anderson was inspired By Kirk." Kirk inspired with his stile a lot of jazz and pop musician including Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull"
Man könnte noch dazu furzen die vierte Stimme.
East village... The iPad slipped.
See if you can catch the spelling mistake and understand the logic of my points about "it," which seem to have escapsed your astute mind.
is the baritone player Charles Davis? And that great singing pianist? Excuse my ignorance (but not as bad as doowopdidler: wakie wakie). A great concert in a great place - Red Bologna!
who's the other saxman?
That would be Hamiet Bluiett
god whats the riff at 8:30 i cant for the life of me remember..
Its "Hey Jude" - do i have to precise by who ?
@ndodro Rahsaan was quite a joker...and I believe what he was referring to was the, 'wonderful world of Marriage'. lol ... he called it Volunteer Slavery,..and so do I!!! lol
Listen too 3 blind mice😁😁😨

You're a funny guy, I'll give you that
Who is the other saxophonist?
That is Hamiet Bluiett from World Saxophone Quartet...
dude its bari
@doowopdiddler More like Ian borrowed from Roland.

dirty
Ian Anderson? Please. Everyone knows Kirk was inspired by Will Ferrell in Anchorman.

Yeah, yeah - at least come up with something more original. You actually sound like you believe what you're saying now lol
Wow, the guy with the bary looks so "poor" compare to Kirk!
