Immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds of Rahsaan Roland Kirk with Blacknuss, a jazz album that redefines the genre. From the very first notes, featuring Bill Salter’s soulful bass and Kirk’s passionate flute rendition of Bill Withers’ ‘Ain’t No Sunshine,’ it’s clear that this isn’t just another album; it’s an experience.
The rich tapestry of sound unfolds as electric piano, percussion, and Cornel Dupree’s guitar seamlessly blend into the mix, showcasing the deep soul groove that Kirk masterfully brings to life. As the melody gracefully fades, Kirk’s tenor explodes into the opening of Marvin Gaye’s iconic ‘What’s Goin’ On,’ backed by a funk-infused rhythm that demands your attention.
This album features standout tracks that resonate deeply, including a moving interpretation of ‘My Girl’ and a powerful take on ‘The Old Rugged Cross.’ Blacknuss is not just a collection of songs; it’s a celebration of music’s roots, capturing the essence of soul music while paying homage to jazz’s rich heritage. Don’t miss out on this essential addition to your collection—truly one of the best jazz albums for collectors.
