    About this album

    The Inflated Tear is a striking late-1960s statement from Roland Kirk, one of jazz’s most adventurous multi-instrumentalists. Released in 1968, the album blends post-bop force with Kirk’s extraordinary tonal range, moving from blues-rooted intensity to lyrical, almost orchestral textures. Backed by a strong small-group setting, he turns pieces such as the title track and The Black And Crazy Blues into vivid showcases for his breath control, circular phrasing and unusual instrumental combinations. Widely regarded as one of his key recordings, it captures Kirk expanding the language of modern jazz without losing its emotional directness or sense of surprise.
