Topic: Kirk Session

	Kirk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kirk of Scotland was in official use as the name of the Church of Scotland until the 17th century, and still today the term is frequently used in the press and everyday speech, though seldom in the Church's own literature.
		However, Kirk Session is still the standard term in church law for the court of elders in the local parish, both in the Church of Scotland and in any of the other Scottish Presbyterian denominations.
		High kirk is the term sometimes used to describe a congregation of the Church of Scotland which uses a building which was a cathedral prior to the Reformation.

	Chris Sawyer Reviews : Rahsaan Roland Kirk
		Kirk was not only a multi-instrumentalist, but a simultaneous multi-instrumentalist capable of playing up to 3 saxophones at a time.
		A solid session (too much so for me), it highlights Kirk's grasp of the funk and hard bop vernacular that was already being disturbed by the emergence of the new avant garde.
		Kirk's flute playing gets a great introduction on the lightly swinging Funk Underneath; begins with a clean ("legitimate") tone, but by the time the rhythm doubles up Kirk is alternating a variety of guttural and breathy notes.
