Natalies Wood Plays Roland Kirk,is an ensemble that re-examines the oft-explosive music of saxophone giant Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Kirk, a blind musician who died in 1977 at age 41, commanded a monumental technique in a wide range of jazz idioms, though he’s probably most famous for having played three horns at once. This was not a mere stunt but, rather, a means for unleashing torrents of sound and a profusion of ideas.
To try to capture the fervor of Kirk’s work, while also exploring it from contemporary perspectives, Juli Wood last year convened saxophonists Natalie Lande and Natalie Scharf to join her in the new band (hence the name Natalies Wood), with Matt Ferguson on bass, Brian O’Hern on piano and Mike Schlick on drums.
Come and enjoy the beautiful, haunting and unique music of Rahsaan Roland Kirk!
