Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Natural Black Inventions: Root Strata



I've been getting back into jazz a lot lately. I felt it was time for another jazz album since it had been a few months. My favorite Roland Kirk albums. Really everything he did is excellent. Yes, I did get the name of this blog from one of the songs on this album.

John Coltrane - Ascension

Part one of "John Coltrane being a huge badass and making ridiculously good songs"
2 songs, almost 80 minutes in length. The whole album is basically everyone doing solos. When I first listened to this, I couldn't get into it at all. Now I think it's one of the best albums I've ever heard.

1. Ascension - Edition II
2. Ascension - Edition I
