Probably best known for his collaborations with Charles Mingus, Booker Ervin was a widely respected tenor sax player, remembered primarily for his blues/gospel phrasing. Aside from his work with Mingus, Ervin worked with a number of other greats, including Randy Weston who put him on the level of John Coltrane for being a true original. Sadly, Ervin’s career was a relatively short one. He died at age 39 from Kidney disease in 1970. Fortunately for the Jazz world, he left behind a substantial legacy of his work – a legacy that has been pored over and learned from by countless musicians who never had the chance to hear him in person.
