2024.05.13 Gary Lucas on Rahsaan Roland Kirk - 2 of 3

"Who has the hippest chops in the world?" If you're going to ask that question on a record, you had better have the nuts to back it up. I mean, you will be annihilated, humiliated for the rest of time, if you don't. Rahsaan Roland Kirk knew he had them and so did everyone else on the scene. To this day, any time you see a saxophonist playing 3 horns at once or circular breathing or playing the nose flute or any of the other manifestations that Rahsaan developed, they are paying tribute to him, whether they know it or not. Gary Lucas is a New York City treasure who does things with the guitar no one thought possible. Did part of his inspiration come from seeing and hearing Rahsaan perform in 1971? Do we have live recordings of Rahsaan from that period in the WKCR archives? Is Gary going to join host Mitch Goldman in the studio Monday night for Deep Focus? There's more than one way to find out. Listen to WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org Monday (5/13) from 6pm to 9pm. Or join us next week when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/. Either way it's ad-free, all free, totally non-commercial.
