Booker Ervin • Exultation!

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow) - 4 Stars:
Booker Ervin's debut for Prestige (which has been reissued on CD with two shorter alternate takes added) matches the intense tenor with altoist Frank Strozier, pianist Horace Parlan, bassist Butch Warren and drummer Walter Perkins for some bop-based music that is actually quite adventurous. Highlights include "Mour" (based on "Four"), "Black and Blue" and Ervin's "Mooche Mooche." Ervin and Strozier made a mutually inspiring team; pity that this was their only recording together.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow) - 4 Estrellas:
El debut de Booker Ervin para Prestige (que ha sido reeditado en CD con dos tomas alternas más cortas añadidas) empareja al intenso tenor con el altista Frank Strozier, el pianista Horace Parlan, el bajista Butch Warren y el baterista Walter Perkins para algo de música basada en bebop que es en realidad bastante aventurera. Los aspectos destacados incluyen "Mour" (basado en "Four"), "Black and Blue" y "Mooche Mooche" de Ervin. Ervin y Strozier formaron un equipo mutuamente inspirador; lástima que esta fuera su única grabación juntos.
