Rahsaan Roland Kirk has been accused of being "gimmicky" by those jazz critics who played saxophone in the high school marching band, moved to New Yawk or LA to become stars, and found out a bit too late that they sucked... become a music critic! You get to carp something about all the people better than you. Kirk's use of two saxes sounds perfectly musical to me, like at 1:30, 2:40 and 4:00 and out. Anybody can learn parlor tricks if they're really determined, but in the coda especially he's improvising two lines? :icon_scratch: It ain't in the lucky hat, that guy has a serious case of weird-brain. You never get lonely when you're schizophrenic. :laughing3:
