K it's probably nuclear powered!

Eyes are pretty wide-open for getting a flashlight shined into the,.

Oh, I think this one could be! Horace Silver Estate could sue for royalties!

Ok - to the poster - Strike 3. You're out. Flagged you as a spammer. You will have to talk to Jim Alfredson about getting reinstated. You were warned previously, on two different threads (also locked, but content still visible) that this would occur the next time you pursued this line of "thought" and posted as "fact" contentions which are both outrageous and totally unproven.. You chose to do it, and the previously promised action has been taken.. to the board - thread is now locked, but I am keeping it visible (for now) as a living warning as to how the crazies are still out there.

It takes me just 4 minutes, if that.

Yeah, I like the Vanguard stuff very much and also highly.

That's a sexy album cover, always was:

I always loved Booker Ervin, always. but it was not until hearing this record that I fully understood him. Playing "songs", he sounds like a really powerful eccentric jazz voice. Here, he sounds totally organic, not just a "jazz player", but so much more than just that. That's a freaking SOUL!!!!!! The American records never get all of that, not like this one does.

None of the American records really get to this side of Booker, not like this. Take away "songs", take away the rhythmic symmetries imposed by most pianists to one degree or another, and boom, there it is - Booker Ervin, free blues Black Music tenor player, unambiguously there, in that place..

Wow, that's what it took to get you back on here? Mike - did you know about this?

You know Bags Unlimited, I'm sure, correct? never mind. $35 for a hundred, company's always seemed support-worthy to me..They hing in thru COVID, so... http://www.bagsunlimited.com/product/1513/white-bcd-trayb-holds-1-cd I know, had to try, though.

3 drank 4 while 2 wasn't looking and added this 1: In terms of expense, I have friends who treat me well, and I try to do the same for them. And never forget - no matter how many friends you have it's nothing but good karma to buy real product from real product creators and sellers at fair market value, cheapest is not always best, dig? Karma's a bitch, keep that in mind. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered, , if not in this life, in the next or parallel or wherever it may be. Just don't be the guy with an unbalanced ledger, ok? Time-wise? Hey, fuck it. I hope I live long enough to hear it all (including stuff on my shelves. Longevity trumps OCD if you mange it right. Or so I hope...

You know you're going to go broke and then blame us, right?

No thought while ordering, but the invoice from DG the next day had me all WTF????-y in a good way. Buying records is funny!

Are you hip to Billy Harper? He's got that same vibe. I consider him a more or less direct link to Booker in terms of sound, the way that put the air into and out of the horn.

Bill Heid is the guy who's under the radar in these type conversations. Larry Goldings is approachable, Bill Heid...maybe some edge there,

that's the one!

Booker 'n Brass...if such things matter to you, get the LP to supplement the CD. Belden took all the reverb off, and at first I though it was a different record...just sayin', that record was obviously geared towards getting airplay, and the reverb was part of that. The CD is an altogether different effect. I like them both, but they are different "records". Same music, same playing, obviously. But dry and wet are...opposites, right? So.

You could do far worse than the Black Saint/Soul Note box. The small group stuff is essential, and the saxophone sextet stuff is damn near epochal.

Probably my favorite booker records (as leader) are The In-Between and what has been come to be known as Tex-Book Tenor. Both on Blue Note. But to trifectaulate the pairing, add in Horace Parlan's Happy State Of Mind. Chuck's comment is accurate, but so is another one that gets less referenced - he important, not for what he played, but for how he played it. Not going to say with certainty that I have every Booker Ervin record or record that he's on, but if I see one that I don't have, I get it.

If you like Abercrombie, you've hear him with Jan Hammer on organ, correct? If you only know Hammer post-Mahavishnu….there are some things to check out, let's just say that.
