Rahsaan Roland Kirk - The Call


Rahsaan Roland Kirk used to refer to his two horn feats as "splitting the mind into two parts." This transcription is a 1960 two horn (manzello and tenor saxophone) self-duet that [Rahsaan] Roland Kirk played 1:05 from the beginning of The Call. It's from his [second] debut album, Introducing Roland Kirk. (Here's the mp3 of the excerpt.)

Dear Steve,

I found your admirable blog by way of Ian Bradley's MIDRIFF -- and have added it to my blogroll. Although our tastes don't entirely overlap, perhaps you'd enjoy some of the live New York jazz videos I've put on mine, JAZZ LIVES (www.jazzlives.wordpress.com).

Cheers and thanks,
Michael Steinman
