Domino is an album by Roland Kirk recorded and released in 1962. The follow-up to We Free Kings, his 1961 breakthrough as a bandleader, it found him increasingly reliant on standards and cover versions. It was reissued in 2000 on Verve with bonus tracks featuring sessions with Herbie Hancock. It includes Kirk's tribute to Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus, "Where Monk and Mingus Live", in a medley with the former's "Let's Call This".

Allmusic	[1]

The Allmusic review by Lindsay Planer states "The expanding musical universe of Rahsaan Roland Kirk continues its orbit on Domino. While always true to his exceptional talents, Kirk's previous efforts are somewhat derivative when compared to his later and more aggressive sound. On Domino, the genesis of his more assertive presence is thoroughly evident".^[2]
