Roland Kirk Biography
Blind jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk is often remembered for his incredible ability to play three horns simultaneously--which made him a virtual one-man brass section. A master of circular breathing, he was also able to hold a note almost indefinitely.

He was the leader on dozens of albums from the 1950s up until his death from a stroke after a performance in 1977.
