[JPL] Roland Kirk

[Len Dobbin]

The Roy HAYNES session with Kirk and Tommy was done in May 1962 for Impulse. 
"Out Of The Aftrenoon" is the title.  "Rip, Rig and Panic" with an entirely 
different personnel: Jaki Byard, Richard Davis and Elvin Jones is from 
January 1965.  I don't see the connection.
