Roland Kirk

Third Dimension And Beyond Roland Kirk

Only previously available on limited edition in Japan, the New York, November 9, 1956 album Third Dimension features the groundbreaking Roland Kirk's first recording as a leader. Accompanied by Jimmy Madison, Carl Pruitt and Henry Hank Duncan, the quartet's repertoire is made-up primarily of Kirk's original compositions. Kirk's second date as a leader, the album Introducing Roland Kirk, recorded in Chicago on June 7, 1960, features a quintet (with Ira Sullivan on trumpet and tenor sax) which showcases Kirk's inimitable skills as an improviser and composer. Gambi. 2005.
