• 1:00 PM. New Jazz Archive

  Ten programmes of interviews with some of jazz's big musical thinkers, vibrant biographies and carefully-crafted playlists that represent the full gamut of jazz's rich history

  (7) Rahsaan Roland Kirk

  The life and music of multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Biographer John Kruth talks about Kirk's life and art from his unequalled ability to make music on many instruments at once, to his eccentric, and often politically-charged stage persona. And we'll talk with Rahsaan's widow Dorthaan Kirk about his heroic return to the stage after suffering a stroke in 1975, and explore whether the jazz world has finally given this unsung hero his due now more than 30 years after his death (PRX)
