Album Notes & Community Reviews

A highly eccentric conceptual project, Rahsaan Roland Kirk's 'The Case of the 3 Sided Dream in Audio Color' incorporates conversational interludes, sound collages, and deeply soulful jazz fusion. The sprawling record highlights Kirk's unique polyphonic playing style and playful, fiercely independent musical philosophy just prior to his debilitating stroke.
