The Freedom Book

by Booker Ervin

The Freedom Book cover art

A powerful statement from tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin, featuring a legendary rhythm section. The album showcases Ervin's gutsy, blues-drenched approach to the new freedoms of post-bop. His fiercely exploratory solos soar over the churning, interactive foundation laid by Jaki Byard, Richard Davis, and Alan Dawson, creating a pivotal synthesis of 'inside' and 'outside' playing.
