Roland Kirk - Serenade To a Cuckoo (Original Version!)

[BrunoHerBer]

I don't know why, but this song reminds me Pink Panther's cartoons !

[whenmyguitar]

Thank you very much ! My delight ! =)

[TriinTamburiin]

Someone's got the 'Prepare thyself to deal with a miracle' ?

Would love to have an option to listen to it here in youtube, although ofcourse the tune will stay more miraculous if i only get to listen to it from time to time at my friends place in the neighboring country :)

[MonkeyIslandBlues]

@TriinTamburiin....i tried some months ago to put the four songs of 'Prepare thyself to deal with a miracle'...unlucky youtube block they.....warner copyright.....i'm sorry....but take it if you can....i recommend that album....it's an intensive cauldron of many jazz styles.....

[joepuly]

should be : Serenade to a Spirit......

[schampz]

Jethro Tull brought me here

[PaulThe123]

@schampz me too :P

[toskoramone]

damn it, i need to find myself a flute player to play this tune along with me.

[AziraphaleDB]

@toskoramone When do you need the fluter by?

[toskoramone]

@AziraphaleDB well i don't actually need one, i just thought it would be great. but i live in brazil, so i don't think you could help, probably. thanks anyway

[waaltaar]

roland is still the master of reeds

[xxgmpxx]

grande pezzo, quel vinile l'ho consumato a forza di sentirlo. Grande Rahsaan, un cuore grande cosi'!

[MonkeyIslandBlues]

@xxgmpxx.......i talk with the spirits.......bellissimo disco di come il flauto traverso si può adattare al jazz..........anche io l'ho consumato a furia di ascoltarlo non so più quante volte.........personalmente è forse il disco di roland kirk che preferisco insieme a prepare theyself to deal with a miracle (un lp della discografia kirkiana inspiegabilmente finito nel dimenticatoio)

[cico7890]

Very nice piece, and your wife, too... now i'm waiting for sghei.

[carmine6786]

OMG he ' s incredible.....i read that he was able to play three flute in the same time!!!! he was a genious

[Bluesdirections]

@ Monkey Island Blues - Man do you have Roland sing a blues number titled Baby Let Me Shake Your Tree. At least that is what I think the title is. The opening solo just kills.

[MonkeyIslandBlues]

@Bluesdirections yeah i have also the album with baby let me shake your tree....but i can't post it...it's under the control of warner bros...youtube block it.....sorry XD

[Bluesdirections]

@MonkeyIslandBlues That is a pity. Roland blows some notes that is full of pathos.

[151210hacky]

First heard this tune back in the sixties. Once you hear it, just even ONE time, it's locked somewhere in your mind forever - that's just the way it is. It's actually beyond cool, in the realm of genius.

[doretgar]

@151210hacky WOW! so true man

[redsun1809]

fantastic performance. Well done!

[goyamoon2006]

YEAH!!! =)

[11Zelda11]

Amazing

[jazzyjazz2u]

It is such a treat to be able to hear the great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Thank you for posting this.

[JazzyBluesWoman]

This sounds as fresh now as it did when I first heard it in 1965. In fact, "I Talk with The Spirits" was the very first jazz album I bought. in my life..the music was so different from anything else I had ever heard. Later I got to meet Rahsaan Roland Kirk.;and had the opportunity to thank him for opening my ears...and my mind. RIP RRK

[whitedudenj01]

Sounds very similar to 'Washington Square', by The Village Stompers.

[MonkeyIslandBlues]
