Sonny Red Kyner VS Rahsaan Roland Kirk
En m'informant sur Rahsaan Roland Kirk, je tombe sur ce passage d'une de ses biographies :
"One night at the Vanguard (1), Frank Foster (2) watched knowingly as Kirk pulled the rug out from under alto saxophonist Sonny Red Kyner. "He was playing a gig with his group when Rahsaan walked in." Foster said, unable to recall whether Sonny invited Kirk to sit in or if Rahsaan muscled his way onto the bandstand. Either way, it wasn't long before Kirk had the audience in the palm of his hand. "Naturally the crowd went wild," Frank said. "Sonny Red bore it for a while but then became angry because the crowd was goin' bonkers over Rahsaan. He packed up his horn and left his own engagement. Sonny Red just walked out and Rahsaan finished his gig!"
C'te confrontation entre mes deux avatars !
(1) The Village Vanguard, un club de jazz à New-York.
(2) Saxophoniste et directeur musical de Count Basie.
