Released 2021, US
Vinyl reissue of the classic 1961 debut album by the American jazz tenor saxophonist. Booker Ervin was one of jazz's biggest "what-ifs"; he died young, at 39, from kidney disease, just as he was embarking on another wave of sonic experiments. Known for playing the blues with a deep, soulful resonance, Ervin drew inspiration from field hollers as much as bebop. While often compared to Coltrane for their similar playing decisions, Ervin had a unique approach to expressing the blues. "The Book Cooks" showcases Ervin's fully developed style as a solo artist, serving as a roadmap for the early part of his career as a bandleader.
