To my knowledge, FZ invited Roland Kirk to play with his teenage combo on two occasions, including once in Miami, at a festival (?). I'm not sure these concerts have been recorded. If the answer is YES, Gail, Dweezil, pleeeese release this material!!!

i'm a huge roland fan, would love to get my hands on a remnant of these shows....i'm sure it's in the vault ::) & would be a great release; maybe throw some of the archie shepp tracks in for good measure &/or any unreleased brecker bros. tracks

I only own one Roland Kirk CD, Volunteered Slavery, but like it very much indeed. I wouldn't complain if the Zappas released the tapes of the FZ/RK gigs  ;D<br><br>Gail, Dweezil, are you listening?

i have a vinyl copy of this gem...it's a double album but only 3 sides have music on them; the 4th side has a blank groove cut in it so you won't damage your stylus, anyway, great laid back version of the classics high heeled sneakers & bye bye blackbird plus some rare spoken dialog; also check out the inflated tear, another of roland's must-have's

I am in desperate need to find that 2LP<br>on cd. I also have "The Inflated Tear." Another goody.<br> I lucked out with my Kirk lps, and all my jazz lps.<br>I got them from an ex- junkie who was "born again,"<br>and didn't want this "music of the devil" anymore.  ;D

guinness book of world records: kennyg won the official title for the longest sustained note after a 45-minute circular-breathing performance in '97, but those familiar with arcane jazz history know rahsaan kirk played a nonstop circular-breathing sax solo for two hours and 21 minutes in front of a roomful of witnesses in a london jazz club in the early '70s

Rahsaan!!!!  If you can find 'em, then try 'Root Strata: Natural Black Inventions' (which features as the third disk in the excellent 'Dog Years in the Fourth Ring' CD compilation...) - & 'Prepare Thyself to Deal with a Miracle' (which is one of the most amazing albums ever recorded...)<br><br>Emma<br><br>PS - I'm still looking for Swiss Cheese / Fire (original SOFA with Flo & Eddie...)   <br><br>PPS - the fourth side of The Three Sided Dream isn't entirely blank as any fule kno....

that is my kind of review.<br>thank you mr slime<br> ;D
