the
t. j. kirk sound brought together the music
of patriarchs "t"helonious monk, "james
brown, & rahssan roland "kirk," spiced
with little richard, prince, & bob
wills, in a sensuous & heady brew of
guitars, grooves & historical anxiety.
with a dizzying predilection for cutting
across a wide range of stylistic genres & leavening
the results with a healthy dose of self-deprecating
humor. t. j. kirk put on a musical variety
show that was not to be missed & in
case you did miss it, ropeadope now brings
back the fabled "lost tapes" - tj kirk's
brightest moment, recorded "someplace,
sometime in 1996" - the best live show
you would have ever seen. available online
only.
T.J.
Kirk plays the music of Thelonious Monk,
James Brown, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk
