 ‘Vibrations in the Village: Live at the Village Gate’ is an ultra-rare recording of the brilliant multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk recorded live at the hallowed Village Gate in New York City, New York on November 26-27, 1963 with pianists Horace Parlan, Melvin Rhyne, and Jane Getz, along with bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Sonny Brown.
 Released in cooperation with Kirk’s widow, Dorthaan Kirk of the Rahsaan Roland Kirk Estate, this music was originally recorded for a documentary film on Kirk that was being made. After the concert, the filmmaker passed away, and the tapes remained tucked away with the original recording engineer in storage for the next 62 years until now.
 Transferred from the original tapes and restored and mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab.
 Includes an extensive booklet with rare photographs from Jan Persson, Tom Copi, Raymond Ross and others, newly commissioned liner notes by authors John Kruth and May Cobb, and interviews and testimonials from Jane Getz, saxophone icons James Carter and Chico Freeman, trombonist Steve Turre, Adam Dorn - son of long-time Kirk producer and champion Joel Dorn, and others.
