Booker Ervin - The Freedom Book - Analogue Productions LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Stereo – Mastered from the Original Analog Master Tapes by Kevin Gray

Booker Ervin's series of Song Books for Prestige announced the arrival of a jazz orator of gigantic stature. His tenor sound carried the loneliness and spaciousness of the Texas plains where he was raised, yet reached beyond the classic Texas tenor tradition to embrace bebop's intricacies and hints of free jazz. Recorded at the end of 1963, The Freedom Book stands as one of his masterpieces, driven by the power of Jaki Byard (piano), Richard Davis (bass), and Alan Dawson (drums).
