Rahsaan Roland Kirk - newport jazz festival 62

Rahsaan Roland Kirk (7 agosto 1936 -- 5 dicembre 1977) è stato un flautista, sassofonista e polistrumentista jazz statunitense. Di origini africane, era cieco e noto fra l'altro per la sua capacità di suonare fino a tre sassofoni per volta. È considerato (assieme ad Herbie Mann) il fondatore del flauto jazz moderno. La sua personalissima tecnica al flauto ha ispirato molti altri musicisti, tra cui il leader dei Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson.

@petopalaj Kirk was one of Jimi Hendrix's idols as Jimi's father was a huge fan. Gave Jimi the idea to imitate sounds.

@joshuasound : joshua Vernon was like something else! great sense of humor always too!

@joshuasound woked with Vern for 7 years (piano) in the Creative Spirits in Toledo Ohio.

Never a dull moment musically and he is really missed.
