Bright Moments 180gr 2LP

Rahsaan Roland Kirk (ts, fl); Ron Burton (p); Henry Pearson (b); Todd Barkan (synth); Joe Habao (perc); Robert Shy (dr)

Rahsaan Roland Kirk's live club gigs were usually
engaging, freewheeling affairs, full of good humor
and a fantastically wide range of music. The
double album 'Bright Moments' is a near-definitive
document of the Kirk live experience, and his
greatest album of the '70s. The extroverted Kirk
was in his element in front of an audience, always
chatting, explaining his concepts, and recounting
bits of jazz history. Even if some of his long,
jive-talking intros can sound a little dated
today, it's clear in the outcome of the music that
Kirk fed voraciously off the energy of the room.
Most of the tracks are long (seven minutes or
more), demonstrating Kirk's wealth of soloing
ideas in a variety of styles (and, naturally, on a
variety of instruments). 'Pedal Up' is a
jaw-dropping demonstration of Kirk's
never-duplicated three-horns-at-once technique,
including plenty of unaccompanied passages that
simply sound impossible. There's more
quintessential Kirk weirdness on 'Fly Town Nose
Blues', which heavily features an instrument
called the nose flute, and the title track has a
healthy dose of Kirk singing through his
(traditional) flute. His repertoire is typically
eclectic: Ellington's 'Prelude To A Kiss'; a
groovy Bacharach pop tune in 'You'll Never Get To
Heaven'; a lovely version of Fats Waller's
'Jitterbug Waltz'; and a stomping, exultant New
Orleans-style original, 'Dem Red Beans And Rice'.
Perhaps the best, however, is an impassioned
rendition of the ballad standard 'If I Loved You',
where Kirk's viscerally raw, honking tone hints
in a roundabout way at the avant-garde without
ever losing its melodic foundation. 'Bright
Moments' empties all the major items out of Kirk's
bag of tricks, providing a neat microcosm of his
talents and displaying a consummate and
knowledgeable showman. In short, it's nothing less
than a 'tour de force'.
