Royal Potato Family, 2025, CD
Instrument: Trumpet

Jazz Ruler Type: Bebop
Performance: 3
Sound: 4
Score: 76
O’s Notes: Kirk is a polished cornetist and bandleader playing in a trio with Stormu Takeishi (b) and Bill Goodwin (d) on Window. They take a minimalist approach across thirteen brief selections. Kirk orates on “A Divine Image”, “Runs Red”, “A Little More So” and the title track surrounded by nine instrumentals notably “Mr. Bill”.
