Review by Brian Wahl

Left Hook Right Cross is a jazz album by the legendary multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, released in 1976. The album features Kirk's signature sound, which is characterized by his ability to play multiple instruments simultaneously, including saxophones, flutes, and clarinets.

The album opens with the title track "Left Hook Right Cross," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features Kirk's powerful saxophone playing, accompanied by a funky bass line and driving percussion. The album also includes a number of other standout tracks, such as "Seasons," which showcases Kirk's melodic flute playing, and "Serenade to a Cuckoo," a beautiful rendition of the classic jazz standard.

American jazz multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and bandleader. Later know as Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Born on August 7, 1935 in Columbus, Ohio, USA. Died on December 5, 1977 in Bloomington, Indiana, USA (of a stroke). He was best known for being a blind jazz saxophonist who could play more than one wind instrument at once. Kirk played a number of musical instruments, mainly various saxophones, clarinets and flutes. His main instruments were tenor saxophone and two obscure saxophones: the stritch and the manzello. Kirk modified these instruments himself to accommodate his simultaneous playing technique. The idea of playing more than one saxophone at the same time occurred to him in a dream and he set out to make it a reality. Around 1970 he added "Rahsaan" to his name after hearing it in a dream. He is also noted for his circular breathing technique and was reportedly able to sustain a note for over an hour.
