The earlier session, which took place when Kirk was a virtually unknown 20-year-old, contains examples of the three horns in one mouth phenomenon (hence the phrase Triple Threat) and relatively uncommon instances of Kirk being overdubbed (particularly effective during Kirks heartfelt rendering of Stormy Weather). On his debut album Kirk played tenor saxophone, manzello (a straight soprano with an angled bell), and stritch (a straightened out alto); he was accompanied by pianist Jimmy Madison, bassist Carl Pruitt, and drummer Henry Hank Duncan (Third Dimension, incidentally, was the title of an original King reissue of the Triple Threat album). Kirks 1960 collaboration with trumpeter Ira Sullivan is a logical prelude to his soulful Prestige session with Brother Jack McDuff and the very first of his Mercury albums, We Free Kings. The McDuff connection seems particularly relevant when pianist William Ron Burton plays the Hammond organ on The Call, a deep extended blues groove of nearly nine-minutes duration. The rest of the 1960 quintet consisted of bassist Don Garrett and drummer Gerald Sonny Brown. Note also that this was the first recording session on which Kirk used his famous siren whistle. All of the material on this compilation predates Roland Kirks use of the name Rahsaan. He began calling himself by that name after experiencing a dream in 1969 during which he heard many people saying Rahsaan repeatedly. This decision to embrace what was given to him in dreams had an important precedent, for it was in a dream that Rahsaan Roland Kirk first heard himself playing three saxophones simultaneously. arwulf arwulf
