Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at Keystone Korner in San Francisco, this double album is a joyous, wildly eclectic celebration of Black classical music history. Kirk's ability to play three saxophones simultaneously remains astonishing, but it is his incredibly warm, humorous stage banter and deep spiritual connection with the audience that makes this performance legendary.
