Rahsaan Roland Kirk left behind a legacy that spans the entirety of the jazz idiom. Often considered a gimic or trick-pony crowd-pleasing mockingbird, its tracks like this, from the album "
Rip, Rig, and Panic," that prove even further his devotion to the traditional elements of all black music and expression. The only other comment I can make is the line-up of this record, which included
Elvin Jones on drums,
Jaki Byard on keys, and
Richard Davis on double bass--definitely a dream team or fantasy jazz league lineup.
