Musical masturbation. This tune is so far up its own smug backside that it's choking on its soul patch.
 
Is that a negative or positive review?

Look, I'm not going to sit here and assert that The Entertainer can't be improved upon. But, uh, this ain't it.

Kirk influenced a number of musicians, according to Wikipedia.  For example:

Ian Anderson, Leader and flautist Of Jehtro Tull recorded a version of Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo" on their first album This Was (1968). Roland Kirk was the very reason Anderson thought he could bring a flute into rock music. Anderson learned Kirk’s vocalizing style on the flute and Anderson's flute playing became the signature element of Jethro Tull's sound. Kirk and Anderson took the flute's refined upper crust classical nature and commonized it. Anderson got to know Kirk at the 1969 Newport Jazz Festival where they both performed the same night. Anderson said of Kirk "There’s something about these colourful shamans. They can tease us, but we go along with it, because we know they’re touched by genius, but at the same time there’s a little bit of the snake oil for sale.”

Roland Kirk is hardly "Smooth Jazz".

Was that Bill Clinton on sax?  A bad Saturday Night Live midweek jam session with the GE Smith house band?  
Not feeling this at all.....
