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!

The notion for even a millisecond that Ian Anderson pre-dated Roland Kirk and especially that the former somehow influenced the latter is a total and unambiguous joke. Kirk's recording career dated back to the late 50s - early 60s. And if you ask Ian Anderson himself, he will tell you how much he idolized Roland Kirk. Get a clue friends.

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.

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...

I've heard his name but never heard him before tonight....except, unless I'm mistaken, as an influence in Zappa's stage show.....
I figure if I can cop a little bit of his flute playing, ( which he obviously stole from Ian Anderson) on a guitar, I will possibly become the greatest guitarist there ever was....then everyone can eat my shorts. THANKS ROLAND......

@doowopdiddler More like Ian borrowed from Roland.

"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.

@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

@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).

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.
