If I am then I should be smacked, because he needed no one to make apologies for him. The Case of the 3-Sided Dream in Audio Color is a case in point. The namby-pamby jazz critics, those \"serious\" guys who look for every note to be in order before they'll say anything positive, can shove it on this one. They panned the hell out of it in 1975, claiming it was \"indulgent.\" Okay. Which\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKirk\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erecord wasn't? Excess was always the name of the game for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKirk, but so was the groove, and here on this three-sided double LP, groove is at the heart of everything. Surrounding himself with players like\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCornell Dupree,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHugh McCracken,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRichard Tee,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHilton Ruiz\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(whose playing on \"Echoes of Primitive Ohio and Chili Dogs\" is so greasy, so deliciously dirty it's enthralling),\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSteve Gadd, and others from that soul-jazz scene, it's obvious what you're gonna get, right? Nope.

But the groove he moves through is one that is so large, so universal, deep, and serene, that it transcends all notions of commercialism versus innovation. Bottom line, even with the charming tape-recorded ramblings of his between tunes, this was his concept and it works like a voodoo charm.
