Kirk was not only famous for his unique sound achieved through his playing several instruments simultaneously and his innovative approach to music but also for his dynamic live performances. In November 1967 Kirk left EmArcy for Atlantic Records, leading his quartet through a highly introspective, somewhat melancholy programme, which was based in the blues and groove traditions of the mid-60s. Kirk himself played flutes, the stritch, manzello and tenor saxophones, the whistle, clarinet and more - precisely those instruments that had created his unique sound, particularly when some of these instruments were played simultaneously by him. Jazz critics who had previously criticised Kirk's sound now praised him once they had heard the restrained and elegantly layered \"Black And Crazy Blues\", the breathtakingly executed \"Creole Love Call\", the razor-sharp soul in \"The Inflated Tear\" and the gyrating lyricism of the winds in \"Fly By Night\" - and quite rightly so. Roland Kirk convinced his listenership anyway and sold over 10,000 copies of the present LP in the very first year of it's release. This is Roland Kirk in his most competent and visionary form; his reading of jazz harmony and capricious sonances is virtually incomparable. This Speakers Corner reissue LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http:\/\/www. Pure-analogue. #com.
