Rahsaan Roland Kirk on Night Music

[cardwell]

Thanks for this and all the other Night Music clips. I still have several videos full of clips from the show which we used to watch when we lived in Canada. A great, great show from a time when good music on TV was still rare!

I first saw Roland Kirk at St. Pancras Town Hall, London, in the 60's (I think!?) He blew us all away. Was there anyone else at that gig?

What was that thing Kirk used @ 1:31?

[stevebutters]

It's called a "siren whistle".

The musical innovator of his time, RIP Rahsaan Roland Kirk

America dont even try no more. You NEVER see the real music on national TV. Whenever you see it on PBS now, it has to be Wynton and his tired clan...America is lost...

Ian Anderson has always given credit to Roland Kirk, expressed his admiration for him, and never hid the fact that he copied Kirk's style.
