i might have mentioned him before but one of the greatest jazz men was rahsaan roland kirk, blinded at age two, a man who later had a dream about playing three saxophones at the same time (which he did) and went on to play 40 instruments and perfected circular breathing, a technique which allowed him virtually unlimited solo time due to not having to take a breath...a true genius

another genius, al green, is actually criminally website-free on a google search. most know him for his "let´s stay together" track from tarantino´s "pulp fiction" but his music and voice cover much more territory than soul ballads. check out his "al green greatest hits" on the right stuff records. proof that they don´t make vocalists like they used to
