CD ReviewsGod has a name littlewing | Mumbai India | 04/09/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Buy everything this guy has to offer becos' you may never get to hear the likes of this again. Kirk is an otherworldly musician - like Trane, Miles, Hendrix... He does things that leave you wondering if there are any rules left in music. Obviously not. This album's title track takes on a freakish significance as it was created after Kirk had an acid trip in which he relived the callousness of a nurse who blinded him when he was an infant. Yet he could see more than most." Genius of Mr. Kirk Brian "Jazz Fan" J. B. | Kalamazoo, MI USA | 09/24/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Rahsaan was one of the great jazz players, with his own take on black classical music. This CD shows the different instruments and styles he used to make swinging, beautiful, inspiring music. If you like this, or if you like the flute, try "I Talk to the Spirits" also. All jazz fans could use some Trane, Miles, Mingus, Monk, and Rahsaan too." Roland Kirk's Finest Hour Earl Manley | NY | 03/17/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Roland Kirk's music is jazz by definition but in reality it is s unclassifiable: a completely original performer whose style encompasses his early New Orleans roots, through swing and bebop, to the abstraction of the 1960s and 1970s avant-garde. This CD is, in my opinion, his finest work. From the opening chords of the Black and Crazy Blues Roland takes the listener on a ride that is unmatched in virtuosity by any other performer regardless of their musical idiom. While Inflated Tear is Kirk's spiritual essay about his sightless life, it is a musical tone poem for the listener taking us to places seldom visited. It is truly a masterpiece. Highly recommended"
