I, Eye, Aye: Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival, 1972
Introduction '''''I, Eye, Aye''''' is a live album by jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk featuring performances by Kirk recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1972 with Ron Burton, Henry "Pete" Pearson, Robert Shy and Joe Habao Texidor first released on the Rhino label in 1996 on CD and on VHS under the title "The One Man Twins. "The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states "The set is absolutely electrifying. From the few short raps Kirk offers the crowd, one cannot be prepared for the honking, shouting, funky, gritty sets that follow... This is a hell of an introduction to one of the least-understood figures in jazz history, and an absolute necessity for fans".
