Booker Ervin • The Book Cooks

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Booker Ervin's debut as a leader teamed the intense tenor saxophonist with fellow tenor Zoot Sims (one will have little difficulty telling the cool-toned Zoot apart from Booker), trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist George Tucker and drummer Dannie Richmond. Ervin (who has his ballad "Largo" as a feature) performs five originals and "Poor Butterfly"; best are the slow blues "The Blue Book" and the rapid blues "The Book Cooks."

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El debut de Booker Ervin como líder unió al intenso saxofonista tenor con su compañero tenor Zoot Sims (uno tendrá pocas dificultades para distinguir al Zoot de tonos fríos aparte de Booker), el trompetista Tommy Turrentine, el pianista Tommy Flanagan, el bajista George Tucker y la baterista Dannie Richmond. Ervin (que tiene como tema principal su balada "Largo") interpreta cinco originales y "Poor Butterfly"; los mejores son el blues lento "The Blue Book" y el blues rápido " The Book Cooks."
