Mastered  Kevin Gray at AcousTech Mastering - 

Recording with Charles Mingus and Randy Weston may have granted him his initial exposure on the jazz scene, but it wasBooker Ervin's series of song books for Prestige in the '60s that truly established his legacy. The sound of Ervin's tenor saxophone was undeniably informed by the loneliness and spaciousness of the Texas plains where he was raised, yet he elevated his style beyond the Texas tenor tradition by also incorporating the intricacies of bebop and disparate elements of free jazz. 

The Freedom Book, recorded at the end of 1963, is one of Ervin's said masterpieces and it finds the jazz great working in almost perfect unison with the likes of Jaki Byard (piano), Richard Davis (bass) and Alan Dawson (drums).

Part of the ultimate audiophile Prestige stereo reissue series from Analogue Productions featuring 25 of the most collectible, rarest, most audiophile-sounding Rudy Van Gelder recordings ever made!
