Roland Kirk - Now Please Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith album flac

The record opens with "Blue Rol," a standard blues made more beautiful by Kirk's playing three horns throughout except for his tenor solo and Smith's tough comping in the middle register. Alfie" is another story. Kirk blows his tenor with the same tonal warmth Ben Webster did by reading the melody faithfully and tenderly adding fills with Smith, slipping around him for subtle accents, adding color and dimension even when he picks up the tempo, which is led by a steaming, hard-swinging Tate.

Roland Kirk Verve Verve (label) Jazz (CD, LP). One of the most unusual Roland Kirk albums of the 60s – his only session for Verve, and a record cut with a slightly different feel than some of his work for Mercury or Atlantic! The core group's an unusual one – a quartet that features a young Lonnie Smith on piano, plus Ronnie Boykins on bass and Grady Tate on drums – all free-thinking talents that are enough to match the whimsy of Kirk's own playing on tenor, flute, stritch, and manzello – but also strong enough jazz players to hold tight during the straighter jazz moments. There's a rich array of jazz styles and histories that seem to peek out from track to track – and the overall vibe is a bit less nutty than Kirk's other albums, with a subtle genius that we really love.

Slippery, Hippery, Flippery incorporates a tape-collage technique that Kirk said was inspired by avant-garde composer Edgar Varese. The album's choices are governed by Kirk’s insatiable quest for freedom-it's no wonder that when Jimi Hendrix first traveled to London in 1966, the only record he carried was Rip, Rig, and Panic.
