Roland Kirk -- BLACKNUSS
What can one say? Some soul, some Blues, some R&B, some gospel, some other stuff and a whole lot of Roland kirk.
The man is a magical genuis. All of the songs except the title track are covers of well known songs.
All are done in a manner that could only be done by Roland. "ain't no sunshine" and "old rugged cross" are my favorites.
This youtube is an example of the 'other stuff'.

Done by Princess Patience Burton.
Cissy Houston also sings on "never can say goodbye".
It may not be Jazz as we expect it, but it is Roland Kirk, and that's good enough for me, and should be enough for any Jazz Fan.
Watch the youtube thingy. You'll like it.
Cheers
