Rahsaan Roland Kirk is my favorite Jazz man! Here is a performance he did with some legends on the Ed Sullivan show January 24, 1971!!

If anyone wants to explore Rahsaan further, my favorite album from this artist is "The Case of the 3 Sided Dream in Audio Color"!!!
 
Here is another one from Rahsaan! He was and incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist who never received the limelight that he should have IMO!!

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear [Live in Prague, 1967]
Wkipedia: Frank Zappa had been influenced by Kirk's music to a considerable extent early in his career. In the liner notes to his 1966 debut album with The Mothers of Invention, Freak Out!, Zappa cites Kirk as one of many in a lengthy list of personal musical influences.[15][16] Kirk and Zappa performed live together at least once, at the 1969 Boston Globe Jazz Festival!
 
I always tell people, Rahsaan is Jazz on acid! Here is "Serenade to a Cuckoo"!!


I will stop here, but even if you don't generally care for Jazz, do check this cat out!!! He is way far out ;~))
