Last week, Rahsaan Roland Kirk introduced us to the miracle of circular breathing, but he wasn't the only one who mastered this technique, although he did use it to greater effect than most others.
Pharoah Sanders wasn't going to be left out of the loop (so to speak) and incorporated circular breathing into his performance as well. Here he is playing his lovely, meditative composition Kazuko (Peace Child), for some reason in an abandoned tunnel near the Golden Gate Bridge because why not? I don't need to tell you where in this video the circular breathing begins and ends (there are two passages) as even the most casual of listenings will immediately pick out those parts.
Anyway, kids, this is why you should go in abandoned tunnels - you might come across old jazz masters practicing circular breathing there.
