Full Details

Roland Kirk's 1962 Album We Free Kings on 180g LP. Remastered and Transferred from Analog Tapes. Pressed at QRP and Packaged in Deluxe Gatefold Packaging.

Known as a then-young Kirk’s more consistent works, 1962’s We Free Kings is a solid balance of bop with complimenting soul, backed by two different rhythm sections – one including Hank Jones (piano) and Wendell Marshall (bass), and the other with Richard Wyands (piano) and Art Davis (bass) – while Charlie Persip (drums) maintains throughout. The repertoire is primarily a showcase of Kirk’s skill as a composer, though his take on Bird’s “Blues For Alice” is not to be missed.

This Verve Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

Musicians:
Roland Kirk - Tenor Saxophone
Hank Jones - Piano
Wendell Marshall - Bass
Richard Wyands - Piano
Art Davis - Bass
Charlie Persip - Drums
