Volunteered Slavery

 

Last December, I featured 'I Talk With The Spirits', an album by Rahsaan Roland Kirk that showcases his mastery of the flute.  On 'Volunteered Slavery', he plays the flute and the nose flute, the tenor saxophone, the stritch and the manzello, the gong and whistle, and does some singing too.  

Released in 1969, the first side features songs that were recorded in the studio.  The songs on the second side are from Mr. Kirk's performance at The Newport Jazz Festival in 1968.  

The full album can be found here or here.
