Our Take

Ah, BOOKER ERVIN's "The Book Cooks" is a delightful dish of jazz goodness that will have you grooving from start to finish. This album is like a culinary experience for your ears, with each track serving up a fresh and unique flavour that keeps you coming back for more.

Ervin's saxophone playing is smooth and soulful, drawing you in with its rich tones and infectious melodies. The way he weaves through each composition is like a master chef crafting a perfect dish, balancing complex harmonies with simple, yet effective, riffs.

The band behind Ervin is equally impressive, providing a solid foundation for his improvisations to soar. The rhythm section keeps things running smoothly, while the piano and trumpet add just the right amount of spice to the mix.

Standout tracks include the funky "Mojo" and the laid-back "No Land's Man," both of which showcase Ervin's virtuosity and versatility as a musician. This album is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, as it perfectly captures the spirit and energy of the genre.

Overall, "The Book Cooks" is a tasty treat for the ears that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning music lover. So sit back, relax, and let BOOKER ERVIN take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Bon appétit!
