Rip, Rig & Panic

A ferocious and joyous album that is a whirlwind tour of jazz history, played with the anarchic energy of the avant-garde. Multi-instrumentalist Roland Kirk leads a powerhouse rhythm section through pieces that violently shift between hard swing, soulful blues, and chaotic free-form breakdowns. The album is a pivotal example of an artist blending a deep reverence for tradition with the explosive freedom of the 'new music,' creating a sound that is both reverent and riotous.
