If I were home, I’d put it on, but, alas, I am away in the country. I loved Kirk and saw him live many times. I always felt his albums never captured his ability as either a player or performer. The live side of Volunteered Slavery came closest, IMHO. I did a small article on Kirk a few months ago:

No gimmicks, no crowd pleasing, just virtuosic 3- or 2- horn paying ans nice solos on tenor, stritch, manzello and flute. Roy Haynes drum intros are also outstanding.

It is always relatively pricey. No big surprise.
