Quest For The Golden Orchid
A quest is a journey toward a specific mission or a goal. It serves as a plot device in mythology and fiction: a difficult journey towards a goal, often symbolic or allegorical. Tales of quests figure prominently in the folklore of every nation and ethnic culture.

The aspect of travel allows the storyteller to showcase exotic locations and cultures (an objective of the narrative, not of the character).

Domino (Rahsaan Roland Kirk Album)
''Domino'' is an album by American jazz saxophonist Roland Kirk, released on Mercury Records in November 1962. 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". Reception 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."Planer L. AllMusic Review Retrieved August 4, 2009.
