The tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin first received national notice in a Charles Mingus group of the late 1950s. He came into his own during the Sixties in a series of albums for Prestige. The third of those collections, The Blues Book, defines Ervin's musical center. A Texan with all the traditional attributes of the best Texas tenors, he was immersed in the blues and they permeated everything he played. Here, he luxuriates in the variety and purity of the form, from the minor mysteries of "Eerie Dearie" to the fundamentals of "No Booze Blooze." Among his companions is the highly regarded young trumpeter Carmell Jones.

For this CD reissue in his series of Books, Ervin and his quintet (with trumpeter Carmell Jones, pianist Gildo Mahones, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Alan Dawson) perform four very different blues: the speedy "One for Mort," a low-down "No Booze Blooze," the modal "True Blue," and the minor-toned "Eerie Dearie." The consistently passionate Ervin makes each of the fairly basic originals sound fresh and the performances are frequently exciting inside/outside music.

Booker Ervin
Active Decades: '50s and '60s
Born: Oct 31, 1930 in Denison, TX
Died: Jul 31, 1970 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Hard Bop, Mainstream Jazz, Post-Bop
A very distinctive tenor with a hard, passionate tone and an emotional style that was still tied to chordal improvisation, Booker Ervin was a true original. He was originally a trombonist, but taught himself tenor while in the Air Force (1950-1953). After studying music in Boston for two years, he made his recording debut with Ernie Fields' R&B band (1956). Ervin gained fame while playing with Charles Mingus (off and on during 1956-1962), holding his own with the volatile bassist and Eric Dolphy. He also led his own quartet, worked with Randy Weston on a few occasions in the '60s, and spent much of 1964-1966 in Europe before dying much too young from kidney disease. Ervin, who is on several notable Charles Mingus records, made dates of his own for Bethlehem, Savoy, and Candid during 1960-1961, along with later sets for Pacific Jazz and Blue Note. His nine Prestige sessions of 1963-1966 (including The Freedom Book, The Song Book, The Blues Book, and The Space Book) are among the high points of his career.
