| NYC Premiere of The Case of the Three Sided Dream, Film on Rahsaan Kirk, 6/11 Don't miss the New York premiere of Rahsaan Roland Kirk: The Case of the Three Sided Dream, a documentary on the world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, at IFC Center, 323 Sixth Avenue at Third Street in Manhattan, on Wednesday, June 11, at 8:00 pm. Directed by Adam Kahan, the film tells the story of Kirk, who went from a blind infant, to child prodigy, to adult visionary, political activist, and finally to paralyzed showman who toured and played music until the day he died (December 5, 1977). Take part in a post-film discussion with Kahan, Dorthaan Kirk – Rahsaan's widow and a founding member of WBGO Jazz 88.3 FM – and trombonist Steve Turre, Kirk's long-time friend and band member. The screening is part of the Blue Note Jazz Festival. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
