Booker Ervin - Tex Book Tenor (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) (LP)

Tex Book Tenor captures saxophonist Booker Ervin at his creative peak, recorded in 1968 at the iconic Van Gelder Studios. With a vibrant post-bop quintet, Ervin brings his robust tenor tone to a dynamic set of originals and compositions by his bandmates, reflecting the adventurous spirit of late-1960s jazz.

This Blue Note Tone Poet Series release is praised for its snappier, brighter sound and heightened detail, offering listeners a fresh perspective on Ervin's powerful performance. From Barron's sinuous “Gichi” to Ervin's moving ballad “Lynn's Tune,” this edition revitalizes a must-hear session for any jazz enthusiast.
