Booker Ervin
Booker Ervin was a jazz saxophonist, composer and arranger from Texas who
specialised in hard bebop. He has been compared to John Coltrane in his ability
but never attained the same level of fame. He began his career in music as a
trombonist before switching to the tenor sax while he was in the USAF in the
early 1950s. Moving to New York City in 1958, Ervin began his long association
with the legendary bass player and band leader, Charles Mingus. He signed with
Prestige Records but later signed with Blue Note.
Ervin was widely travelled during his brief career before his death...
