Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Blacknuss (1972)

This is one of the lesser known albums by the late and the great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Kirk had the amazing ability to play several instruments simultaneously, and therefore he was seen as some kind of novelty back in his day. A big revival of his work came in the 21th century when people became aware of his legacy.

On this album he often 'sings' through his horns and sometimes you can hear him actually speak words before the tones come out of the horn. Very bizarre phenomenon, but a great jazz-artist. This album consists of instrumental interpretations of mostly soul-classics. A real treat.
