Roland Kirk Quartet – Rip Ring & Panic LP Online Hot Sale

Recorded in 1965 at Rudy Van Gelder s studio in New Jersey, Roland Kirk s album Rip, Rig and Panic finds him teamed with the most awesome rhythm section he ever recorded with: pianist Jaki Byard, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones. It received a * rating on AllMusic, with reviewer Thom Jurek stating that Rip, Rig, and Panic may be pre-Rahsaan Roland Kirk s greatest outing. Kirk and his quartet moved through a series of musicological changes that defined him as an artist at the time. Five of the seven compositions are his, and reach through each of the phases that Kirk was interested in integrating into his compositional and improvisational voice. Positively smashing.
