Roland Kirk on flute

[Milestones]

I'm interested in recommendations on his flute work. It seems pretty stunning to me, pretty much on a par with Dolphy--and the late Yusef Lateef is another great one.

I've been digging the all-flute album I Talk with the Spirits and would like to hear more stuff in this vein.

Would that be mouth or nose?

Sorry for the light sarcasm. I really enjoy his flutework too, often well integrated with vocal aspects. On a related note Here Comes the Whistleman.

I'd probably choose I Talk with Spirits as best example of his flute work, but there are many others, including live . RRK really came alive with an audience.

This is pretty much the "one" Kirk flute solo for me, there's a lot more, much of it fine, but as a single summation, this is it.
