![]() I don't think I've really heard him mentioned here a whole lot, but I'm sure some of you are familiar with this fantastic musician. Kirk was a multi-instrumentalist jazz musician who went blind at a young age. Not only was he great, but the bands he played with were awesome as well.....some real sick moments. I first heard of him from a buddy of mine has the VHS of his performance from the 1972 Montreaux Jazz Festival....def. try and hunt it down if you are a fan of Kirk, it rules. It's fucking classic when he starts dishing out coke to the audience from his little pouch that he has on him. A couple of the vids I'm going to post are from that performance. A nice introduction to Kirk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPATPXGJgKo Seasons - Montreaux 1972 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXD1OrmzCQI Serenade to a Cuckoo - Montreaux 1972 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb3UlZ5dbEs Awesome clip from some tv show....def. check out the last 30 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoP9HCqGalk But yeah, hopefully y'all will bust out some of his stuff or hunt some down!! "Never say goodbye!! Never say goodbye!!"

He's great. I think me and batreleaser both have mentioned him.
I have this album he did I got from http://grapewrath.blogspot.com/ .. it's amazing .. I got this other one where you can hear cars passing by outside as he blows his horns... Thanks for the videos! |

No problem.
Yeah, I have the one with the cars too....pretty wild. His earlier stuff is great, but his stuff in the early 70's is the best. Pretty much all of the vids you can find of him on Youtube are worth checking out.

i saw this show and it didn't really had a great impression on me, probably because the rest of the show was pretty bad. i'm definitely checking him out again. |

I haven't heard him but I've heard I'd enjoy him and he's kinda similar to Yusuf Lateef. Who I enjoy quite a bit.

The album I have by Kirk, The Inflated Tear, isn't as wild as I was expecting, based on his reputation. It's rather gentle and traditional.

I often have days where I decide that I don't really like jazz, and Kirk is always what I put on on those days. It's him and Ayler for me, oh yeah.
