Cut all analog and pressed on orange vinyl!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThink of Rahsaan Roland Kirk and a series of images flick through one's mind. There he is, black beret and shades blowing three saxophones at once, next he's draped in a kaftan with bells, horns, flutes, whistles and all manner of strange things hanging round his neck, and then in a frock coat and top hat playing his saxophone on a street corner. He's one of the most surreal sights you've ever seen and each image contains a thousand narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the things that made Kirk so special was his rapport with an audience. They weren't just there to watch and listen. They were part of the show. Kirk would hand out whistles to the punters then lead them pied-piper-like out of the club and onto the street. Nothing beats having seen Rahsaan live but Here Comes The Whistleman is a fine live date with some great music, featuring separately pianists Jaki Byard and Lonnie Smith. In a way, the spoken intros are key to the atmosphere of the record. Kirk has the audience eating out of his hand and as soon as he puts the horn to his mouth you are there with him at that moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCut All Analog by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePressed at Third Man Pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinyl LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrange Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst-Ever Mono Reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"musicians\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMusicians\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJaki Byard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epiano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharles Crosby\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edrums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMajor Holley\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRoland Kirk\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emanzello, nose flute, tenor sax, alto sax, stritch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLonnie Liston Smith\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epiano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSelections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSide 1:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRoots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHere Comes The Whistleman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI Wished On The Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaking Love After Hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYesterdays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAluminum Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStep Right Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59548570288209,"sku":"090771826114","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/201374762715.jpg?v=1779353577","url":"https:\/\/c09u90-kd.myshopify.com\/products\/pre-order-roland-kirk","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
