Recorded at Los Angeles, CA, on July 22, 1964

Jazz

Kirk's technique of humming while playing the flute was adopted later by many other players, including Jeremy Steig, and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull;(who covered the Kirk tune "Serenade to a Cuckoo" on Jethro Tull's first album This Was in 1968).
In 1978 the number one UK single "Hit me with your rhythm stick" by Ian Dury and the Blockheads featured saxophonist Davey Payne playing a solo with two saxes simultaneously, in the manner of Kirk.
