Roland Kirk: Domino
ByOffering up the complete contents of several sessions in April of 1962, this new Verve Master Edition disc includes three takes of “I Didn’t know What Time It Was,” two tries at “Someone To Watch Over Me,” four extra stabs at “Termini’s Corner,” three takes of “When the Sun Comes Out,” and “Time Races With Emit.” Six tracks feature a great Chicago group with pianist Andrew Hill on hand and then the rest of the cuts have either Herbie Hancock or Wynton Kelly on piano, with Roy Haynes providing some incendiary drum work to boot. As Kirk would have undoubtedly called them, there are many “bright moments” to be savored, including the searing up tempo romp of “E.D.” and the extended note at the conclusion of “3-in-1 Without the Oil” achieved through circular breathing. With excellent sound quality throughout, this is the definitive edition of Domino, one you’ll have to own even if you’ve got the boxed set.
