Roland Kirk - Berlin, Paris, Milan 1964 - final fixed version

Here it is, finally - thanks a lot to david and goody for pointing out and helping solve all issues with this compilation!
It turned out #5 and #6 of the "fixed" version shared before were almost a whole step sharp.

Some other things have been corrected, too - for instance the line-up for #2 and #3. Also the latest info I found said it was Tete on #4-6.

This shall be the final version, I'm sure! And this should be the only version to be spread on! I finally hope I got it all right this time!

I'm seeding this again on dime right now, links here will be up in a day or two!

Thanks to ubu for his original seed. The text above the line is all his. I changed the track times to reflect the results of the speed/pitch correction.

Thanks to bigfootpezao for reseeding this set, which reminded me that I should fix this thing already. I forgot about it all this time. Sorry about that, but now it's finally being presented to all you lucky people here at the pitch and tempo it was originally performed.

Thank you, Mr. Kirk. For all your various names, instruments, brilliance, and breath. There was never anyone like you, and there hasn't been anyone, since you graced us with your presence.

final note: after the date-correction for #4, the order of the tracks was adjusted (to present the music chronologically); #4 originally followed what are now #5 and #6 as the original information I had dated it to October 22 (ubu - 2008-08-04)

yep.

thank you so much for sticking with it.
I was afraid at one point that you might give up on it.

'currently listening to it and how enjoyable it must have been to actually attend a show featuring Roland Kirk!

thanks again and keep up the great work.

Have you ever heard anyone that seems to be having anywhere near as much fun as Roland?

Have a peaceful, productive and above all musical 2009.

Thank you, Ubu. Mr Kirk's was the first modern jazz to really move me, back when The Inflated Tear came out. I eventually met him at the Vanguard where to my astonishment he invited me to sit in. Unfortunately (though luckily for the patrons and the band), I didn't have my horn with me. He told me, "Next time, bring your horn." Alas there was no next time - not yet anyway!
