Rahsan displays a fine set list including original compositions like the anthemic \"Voluntary Slavery\" and a wide selection of standards, from Cole Porter to Stevie Wonder, as inspirational material for infectious, groovy improvisations in front of a very receptive Parisian audience, all this at the very dawn of the Seventies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WHP","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50443980472651,"sku":"2166358","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7427252391947_607e7fac_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727022717"},{"product_id":"rip-rig-and-panic","title":"Rip Rig and Panic","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecorded in 1965 at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in New Jersey, Roland Kirk's album \u003ci\u003eRip, Rig and Panic\u003c\/i\u003e finds him teamed with the most awesome rhythm section he ever recorded with: pianist Jaki Byard, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones.
