The Inflated Tear

The Inflated Tear is a sublimely melancholic and affecting work. Rahsaan Roland Kirk had a unique technique, sometimes playing three horns simultaneously. His influences ranged across R ’n’ B, blues, bebop, avant-garde and rock – which made him the quintessential Atlantic artist. Garry Booth
