By CAROL BROWN
Rahsaan is his own trip. He's
a musical dynamo of, creative
energy otherwise known as Ro-
land Kirk, an artist who has to
be seen (and heard) to be be-
lieved. But even then the man's
incredible. Last Saturday at De-
troit's Ibo Cultural Centre, Rah-
saan performed two literally
thrilling sets, each two and a
half hours long. And by three in
the morning he still h a d so
much energy left that he broke
a chair to pieces right on stage.
Essentially, Rahsaan is a very
sensitive blind black man whose
musical conception extends well
beyond the ordinary listener's
imagination. His habit of insert-
ing a few notes on nose flute
during a bass clarinet solo, for
instance, is at first startling
a n d then simply beautiful
Equally outstanding is the mus-
icality with which he somehow
produces gorgeous harmonies on
an ordinary pitch pipe.
Playing as many as three in-
struments at once, Kirk per-
formed such feats as his famous
simultaneous renditions of the
theme from Dvorak's Third
World Symphony and the stand-
ard "Sentimental Journey." He
also produced a somewhat, con-
trapuntal version of Gershwin's
(stolen, according to Rahsaan,
from Louisiana Blacks whom
Gershwin heard singing) "Pre-
lude in F," blues fashion. Kirk's
other numbers featured every
sound from the Beatles' "Hey
Jude"' to old fashioned blues, as
well as Latin tunes excitingly
enhanced by the creative per-
cussion work of Joe Texador.
During the course of the even-
ing, Kirk played tenor and so-
prano saxaphone, clarinet and
bass clarinet, flute, nose flute,
pitch pipe, sirens, whistles, gong,
and piano - and also s a n g
along much of t h e time. On
most of his numbers, Rahsaan
created inventive h a r m o n i c
sounds on two reed instruments
at a time, the combination of
tenor sax and bass clarinet be-
ing among his favorites. Y e t
Kirk is hardly a one man band.
He and his sidemen - a superb
network of piano, bass, drum,
a n d percussion (tambourine,
bell-tree, maracas, etc.) - per-
formed together with a close
feel for their total "sound," a
very exciting kind of music to
which it is almost impossible not
to respond.
Nor could one justly accuse
Rahsaan of depending on gim-
mickry. While his multi-instru-
mental performances are, to say
the least extraordinary, they
are, without exception, musical-
ly meaningful. When he blows a
police whistle for two seconds
during one of his saxaphone so-
los, it belongs there. When he
reaches for one of his many
reed instruments to interpose a
s h o r t melodic phrase in the
middle of a number, you feel as
if an astute sideman would have

entered with the same phrase.
As a member of the audience
sitting beside me commented,
"That guy can play everything
on anything!" Furthermore, he
can do it well.
Rahsaan's extroverted eccen-
tricity is not limited to his mus-
ical performance. He gives in-
termittant raps throughout each
set. The types of comments he
offers (which Saturday, center-
ed around his strong assertion
that many of the most famous
white "so-called" jazz musicians
have played only a minor role
in the development of "so-call-
ed" jazz music) might have been
offensive to some listeners had
it not been for his ingratiating
sense of humor. He also has a
habit of hoping about the stage
like a child who has trouble sit-
ting still, that somehow exudes
a feeling that approximates
sheer glee.
The Ibo provided an excellent
enviroment for Rahsaan's :u-
sic. And jazz people who ?gave
never been there owe themselves
a visit to this loft at Third and
McNichols (McCoy Tyner, John
Coltrane's expianist, is schedul-
ed to appear there in a f e w
weeks.) The place has a concert
type of atmosphere particularly
conductive to performances by
experimental groups. A m p 1 e
stage room for the musicians, a
good sound system, and a no-

liquor policy make the Ibo an
impressive listening place, min-
us the hassle of waitresses in-
terrupting the show or clinking
glasses.
The more traditional jazz at-
mosphere of Baker's Keyboard
Lounge featured t h e beautiful
sounds of Brother Yusef Lateef
and h i s group last week-end.
Another brilliant musician of
many instruments, Lateef cre-
ated a more sedate but similarly
artistic j a z z experience. In a
"cooler" vein t h a n Rahsaan's
emotionally charged perform-
ance, Lateef delivered a subtle,
introspective, a n d imaginative
performance on flute, oboe, ten-
or saxaphone, and ' nose flute
(played one at a time), some-
times accompanied by his sing-
ing.) Lateef's total command of
every phrase produces - a 1 e s s
spontaneous effect than Roland
Kirk's. But Lateef and his quar-
tet impress one as "a tight, mus-
ically sophisticated group with
an entirely different kind of ap-
peal that reveals the discipline
and grace of classical training
without forsaking the emotion-
al drive of jazz, "so-called jazz,"
an antophysio- physic music (as
Lateef calls what he plays), or
what have you.

No feminine spray

The "other" odor. It starts in
the vaginal tract where no spray
can work. You can't spray it
away. And it's more offensive
than external odor caused by
