Roland Kirk - Here Comes The Whistleman - LP

Cut All Analog by Kevin Gray, Pressed on Orange Vinyl at Third Man Pressing

Roland Kirk's 1967 Atlantic debut is a monster of a live set recorded in 1965, capturing the sightless multi-instrumentalist with pianists Lonnie Liston Smith and Jaki Byard, bassist Major Holley and drummer Charles Crosby. One of the things that made Kirk so special was his rapport with an audience, and the spoken intros here are key to the atmosphere, with the crowd eating out of his hand from the first note. This first-ever mono reissue is cut all analog and pressed on orange vinyl at Third Man.
