The debut recording by Roland Kirk(this was still pre-Rahsaan)on Atlantic Records,the same label that gave us Blacknuss and Volunteered Slavery,is not the blowing fest one might expect upon hearing it for the first time.In fact,producer Joel Dorn and label boss Neshui Ertegun weren't prepared for it either.Kirk had come to Atlantic from Emarcy after recording his swan song for them, the gorgeous Now Please Don't You Cry,Beautiful Edith, in April.In November Kirk decided to take his quartet of pianistRon Burton,bassist Steve Novosel,and drummer Jimmy Hopps and lead them through a deeply introspective, slightly melancholy program based in the blues and in the groove traditions of the mid-'60s.
