The second in tenor saxophonist
Booker Ervin's Book series, this CD reissue may seem a bit more conservative than the others due to the inclusion of six standards (including "Come Sunday," "All the Things You Are" and "Just Friends"), but
Ervin and his quartet (with pianist
Tommy Flanagan, bassist
Richard Davis and drummer
Alan Dawson) come up with fresh interpretations of the warhorses.
Booker Ervin never sounded like anyone else.
