Kirkatron


Kirkatron is an album by jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk featuring performances by Kirk recorded at the Montreux [Jazz Festival] in 1975 and studio sessions from 1975 and 1976.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Shortly after Rahsaan Roland Kirk finished his first album for Warner Brothers, he suffered a major stroke that put him out of action and greatly shortened his life. His second LP for the label was actually composed of leftovers from the earlier session plus three songs taken from an appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival... This LP, Kirk's next-to-last album, has enough highlights to make it worth searching for".
