Friday music: If you don't love jazz, you hate America

Roland Kirk, from his pre-Rahsaan days.  "Meeting on Termini's Corner," from Domino.  I'll admit, I prefer his recordings as Rahsaan Roland Kirk, but there's a lot of great stuff in his earlier discography, and there's a reason this one gets covered.  Among the more interesting covers I have heard was by a side-project trio of guitarists, including Charlie Hunter.  The band called themselves "T.J. Kirk."  They covered the music of Thelonious Monk, James Brown and Roland Kirk.  Also... well, gotta appreciate the Shatner-play.  Anyway, here's some jazz.  As a bonus, the follow-up is T.J. Kirk covering it, along with some James Brown and some Monk.
