About
Sometimes history books get it wrong. <i>Freedom Book" gets it right</i>. It's one of the most overlooked accomplishments of mid-century modern jazz. A contemporary of Coltrane's, Booker Ervin belongs in the same exalted category. He was adventuresome; he was furiously creative; his sound was powerfully expressive. He moaned, he cried, he swung. But more than anything, he fearlessly followed his muse. <i>Freedom Book</i> is an inspired and extended suite on the very nature of joyous jazz.
