The Return of the 5000 Lb. Man

1

The Return of the 5000 Lb. Man is an album by the jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states: "Kirk is at full creative and musical strength. These seven tracks are an utter astonishment. Kirk's playing of saxophones, harmonica, flutes, and euphonium is deep, soulful, and even profound in places... This is one that's utterly necessary for fans, and a very fitting intro for the novice". Michael Shera of Jazz Journal thought most of the album was "totally irrelevant" but argued that on tracks "Loving You" and "I'll Be Seeing You" Kirk showed himself as a "gifted flautist and saxophonist with considerable inventive powers".
