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

Artist: 
Booker Ervin
$38.98

Blue Note, 2024

Following sideman appearances with pianist Horace Parlan in the early 1960s, Booker Ervin cut two stellar Blue Note records as a leader in 1968 including Tex Book Tenor which had to wait nearly 40 years until 2005 for its first standalone release. With a sleek post-bop quintet featuring trumpeter Woody Shaw, pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Jan Arnet, and drummer Billy Higgins, the Texas-born saxophonist slices through a set of compelling bandmember originals including Barron's sinuous tune “Gichi” and Shaw's lilting waltz “In a Capricornian Way,” as well as Ervin's lovely ballad “Lynn's Tune” and the hard-swinging “Den Tex,” named for his hometown of Denison.
