Booker Ervin’s “Song Book” is an exception among his albums, as it contains only standards. But these standards are so superb, played with Ervin’s characteristic curiosity and adventurous spirit, that saxophone fans will be in their element. With pianist Tommy Flanagan at his side, he even creates elegant, smooth ballads like “Yesterdays.” Richard Davis plays bass, and Alan Dawson is on drums; both are longtime collaborators of the tenor saxophonist.
These prestigious stereo reissues from Analogue Productions contain 25 of the most collectible and audiophile-grade recordings, mastered by legendary sound engineer Rudy Van Gelder. Mastered by Kevin Gray.
