Boston Globe Quatrieme Edition
By Alan Heineman, pp 18-21 


The Real Frank Zappa Book, p 106: "The first time we played with Rahsaan Roland Kirk was at the 1968 Boston Globe Jazz Festival. After his performance, when introduced to him backstage, I said I really liked what he was doing, and said that if he felt like joining us onstage during our set, he was more than welcome. In spite of his blindness, I believed we could accommodate whatever he wanted to do. We began our set, wending our atonal way toward a medley of 1950s-style honking saxophone numbers. During this fairly complicated, choreographed routine, Rahsaan, assisted by his helper (can't remember his name), decided to join in."

On page 21 is a picture of FZ, Roy Estrada, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and his helper (Kirk Quartet's drummer Jimmy Hoppes?) on stage.

Newport 69
pp 34-39 


On the Newport Jazz Festival FZ and MOI played on Saturday morning, July 5th. Before that in June they participated in a jazz tour.

The Real Frank Zappa Book, pp 106-107 : "In 1969, George Wein, impresario of the Newport Jazz Festival, decided it would be a tremendous idea to put the Mothers of Invention on a jazz tour of the East Coast. We wound up working in a package with Kirk, Duke Ellington and Gary Burton in Miami at the Jai Alai Fronton, and at another gig in South Carolina.
[...]
Before we went on, I saw Duke Ellington begging – pleading – for a ten-dollar advance. It was really depressing. After that show, I told the guys: 'That's it -- we're breaking the bande up.'"
