Booker Ervin “The Freedom Book” Prestige/Rudy Van Gelder Remasters cd

http://i0.wp.com/flophousemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/20040404.jpg?resize=400,400

I’m not sure which is my favorite among the Booker Ervin Quartet discs in the Prestige catalog, but this one is certainly a contender.

I always think of Pres when I hear this album.

Frank Socolow (tenor), Eddie Bert (Trombone), Sal Savador (guitar), Eddie Costa (piano), Bill Takas (bass), Jimmy Campbell (drums)

Frank Socolow was tenor player  influenced by Pres. This 1956 recording is his only album as leader. Though he did record 4 tracks in the 40's with Bud Powell. Wonder why he recorded no additional sessions as leader. Frank was a good tenor player in the style of Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Allen Eager, Brew Moore, Getz, etc.

He spent many years and recorded in a number of big bands over 3 decades.
