Originally released in 1967, Now Please Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith captures Roland Kirk at a key creative crossroads, delving into a more soulful, groove-focused sound that paved the way for his later jazz explorations. Joined by luminaries Lonnie Liston Smith, Ronnie Boykins, and Grady Tate, Kirk's inventive approach shines through expressive solos and a seamless blend of passion and precision.
This acclaimed session is regarded as an essential entry in Kirk's discography, celebrated for its stripped-down, energetic interplay and vibrant character. Meticulously remastered for superior sound, this release offers both new listeners and longtime fans a fresh opportunity to experience the dynamic artistry and bold vision that make Kirk's music timeless.
