Review

Q (10/96, p.183) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...show[s] Kirk with even more horns hanging around his neck than usual...often blowing several at the same time, using circular breathing techniques, spluttering or vocalising and playing totally different solos out of each corner of his mouth....He did it like no-one else..."

Title Note

Personnel: Rahsaan Roland Kirk (tenor saxophone, manzello, stritch, clarinet, flute, nose flute, siren); Ron Burton (piano); Henry "Pete" Pearson (bass); Robert Shy (drums); Joe "Habao" Texidor (percussion).

Recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Montreux, Switzerland on June 24, 1972. Includes liner notes by Joel Dorn, Steve Stein, Eric Frier, Michael Schwartz and Anthony Udell.

Recorded during his legendary appearance at the 1972 Montreux Jazz Festival, I EYE AYE is one of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's finest releases. The multi-instrumentalist is backed by a sympathetic quartet of longtime associates: pianist Ron Burton, bassist Henry Pearson, drummer Robert Shy, and invaluable percussionist Joe Habao Texidor, who powers this set's centerpiece, a 10-minute take on Kirk's classic "Volunteered Slavery," like a man possessed. Spurred on by Texidor's fervor, Kirk turns in some of his most impassioned playing, blowing fiery solos on one to three instruments at a time and essaying one of his best "duets for one," interweaving Ellington's standard "Satin Doll" with an improvisation of his own in an intoxicating blend. A lengthy, impassioned reading of the hymn "Balm in Gilead" is the set's emotional high point, and a relaxed, swinging take on Kirk's 1964 composition "Serenade to a Cuckoo" is an absolute joy.
