Song 325 (Rahsaan Roland Kirk--"Pedal Up")


I came across this song a while ago and immediately fell in love with it. Most who think of the title: "Multi-Instrumentalist" or "Poly-Instrumentalist" one conjures up the idea of someone dubbing tracks on a recording. Roland Kirk was one that took that title to where many others could and cannot, because he was able to play multiple instruments live at the same time. He was one of the most amazing musicians of the last century; it was a shame that, like many other Jazz greats, that his life was cut short.

Here is a live performance on YouTube.
