I Talk With the Spirits

A unique and beautiful album that features the avant-garde master Roland Kirk exclusively on an array of flutes. The standout track, 'Serenade to a Cuckoo,' later made famous by rock band Jethro Tull, is a charming and deeply soulful melody. The performance is a showcase for Kirk's revolutionary flute technique, in which he often hummed or sang while playing, creating a rich, multi-layered sound. It reveals a surprisingly tender and folk-influenced side of this visionary artist.
