This magnificent musician is one of the true treasures of American jazz;
before I actually started listening to him I was a bit suspicious about his multiinstrumentalism, but he uses his numerous (and often strange) horns and whistles as a musician - there is nothing flashy or inflated in what I heard of him so far (incidently; the title of the album refers to Kirk's medical problems connected to his blindness...).
But, if you want to know, on the cover of this fine Atlantic album they say he plays tenor sax, Manzello, stritch, clarinet, flute, whistle AND "English horn or flexafone"...
The rest of the group are Ron Burton (p), Steve Novosel (b) and Jimmy Hopps (dm), plus Dick Griffith (tb) on "Fly by Night".

This was the first "true" jazz album I bought three years ago, and in the time since I bought it, I've yet to find another that matches it.
There's not a single bad or average track on this album: from the chilled opener "Black and Crazy Blues" through the manic, aggressive "Many Blessings" to the tortured, melancholy title track, this album is pure five star jazz.
If you're a saxophonist then there's no excuse for not owning this album. And if you're not a saxophonist, buy this, and you may well want to be!

I just bought this having heard very little Mingus and I can say that this is one of the hottest albums I have heard in years. Admittedly the first track is my favourite and perhaps shadows the others but every track on here is a joy to listen to. Great compositions, brilliant playing and intense energy make this album one of my favourites.
