[edit] This article deserves refrences and sources!

"He played the lead flute and solo on Jones' Soul Bossa Nova, a song popularized in the Austin Powers films." Uh, what the fuck? What is the source on this? I've never heard this before, and I highly doubt it.

Kirk played for Jones quite a bit. This song is on the album Big Band Bossa Nova (1964), originally on the Mercury label. Kirk plays a solo toward the end of the song. – ishwar  (speak) 15:24, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Check the liner notes on "Big Band Bossa Nova" (1964). What other source would be better? Silverlake Bodhisattva 20:58, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion of "Tree-Sided Dream" overlooks similar work on Kirk's earlier albums

The long discussion of "Three-Sided" suggests, incorrectly, that it was unique, (other than in its odd "mostly blank side" audio format) as a sort of audio collage. Several of Kirk's prior albums include audio collages, with long spoken sections interspersed with music. "The Seeker", which makes up most of a full LP side of "Rahsaan Rahsaan" (seventeen minutes) is a clear example; "Black Mystery has Been Revealed", on "Right/Left" is a much shorter one.

[edit] Someone have a discussion of the Ed Sullivan appearance?

In January 1971, Kirk appeared as a named guest on Ed Sullivan's Sunday night show, as a result of the protests which the article mentions only in passing. He brought with him a band including, among others, Charles Mingus, Archie Shepp, and Roy Haynes. What was billed as a cover of Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" proved to be instead a disjointed reading of Mingus' "Haitian Fight Song".

[edit] Whither stritch and manzello?

Whom did Kirk leave them to? Where are they now? The article should say. Rothorpe 15:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RolandKirk.jpg

Image:RolandKirk.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
