4.0 out of 5 stars Inflated DVD, November 15, 2010

By 

Nikica Gilic - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rahsaan Roland Kirk: In Europe 1962-1967 (DVD)

NOT crisp and clear as stated on the DVD, but Kirk still shines...

His rapport with great Spanish pianist Tete Montoliu is a blast (they're both blind, which makes non-verbal communication a bit complicated) but, in spite of shoddy, substandard picture and slightly muffled sound (even on my ordinary TV-set),

it's a riot to watch and listen to Kirk perform! Even on this worn-out-VHS-quality DVD.

So, I'm giving it 4 stars, just for the content, but if you have some high quality equipment you might want to avoid this one.

BTW - the first concert boasts, in addition to Tete on piano, Tommy Potter on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums;

the second set is a bit weaker (the rest of the musicians are not such legends),

although the same numbers sound mighty fine on the album they recorded soon after:

This review is from: Rahsaan Roland Kirk: In Europe 1962-1967 (DVD)

Anyone who enjoys this artist would likely enjoy the two short concerts contained here.

IT's a fufilling helping of his mastery of multiple horns, free-jazz wildness, as well as brilliantly rendered pop classics.

He was such a towering character. Playing piano whilst holding the endless sax note was worth the price of admission.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kirk is great, production not., June 10, 2008

This review is from: Rahsaan Roland Kirk: In Europe 1962-1967 (DVD)

It is a patchwork. Video quality is bad. This DVD give you only spurious IMPRO-JAZZ logo on TV screen to irritate jazz fans.

For all - it is great to see R.R.Kirk in action. If you are Kirk's fan -buy it. This will be out of stock soon.

Recommendation: Jazz Icons presents own Roland Kirk's DVD on September 2008. I guess in great quality.
