Booker Ervin, The Freedom Book, 1964 on Prestige

Sixth full-length with Ervin as leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in 1963, for Prestige. Ervin is joined here by Jaki Byard (piano), Richard Davis (bass), and Alan Dawson (who was a drum instructor at Berklee in Boston) (drums).

My copy—via a private sale—is the 2023 Analogue Productions / Craft Recordings reissue, in the Prestige Stereo Series. It was mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at QRP on 180g vinyl.

"Theme For Lester Young"

Aka 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat'

The absolute best version.
Tears my soul apart. Horn section is so expressive.

Byard is brilliant.

Mingus is ... Mingus.

There will never be another.
