Rahsaan Roland Kirk "Seasons" in Montreux 1972
I feel like this is one of the most "RRK" tracks that exist because he is such a wizard. From the great album: "Prepare Thyself To Deal With A Miracle". He literally dreamed his way into playing 3 saxes at once and ended up arguably the most exciting jazz soloist ever. Yet, he is rather unknown and BLIND almost his whole life. Sounds like all the makings of a magic man/wizard to me. This track has that almost medieval feel to it so I feel it suits his whole persona so well. Dude was all about MadChange and in fact disliked the word "Jazz". He preferred "Black Classical Music", which in all honest is a better, more articulate genre and Jazz must be seen as just that. If you've never seen the entire footage of this concert "Live in Montreux 1972" do yourself a favor but, prepare thyself to deal with a miracle... Also, check out the documentary "3 sided dream" about RRK, so well done.
