{"product_id":"4050538681697","title":"Ervin, Booker: The Book Cooks (Vinyl LP) [ vinyl ]","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl reissue of the classic 1961 debut album by the American jazz tenor saxophonist. Booker Ervin was one of jazz's biggest what-if's; he died young, at 39, from kidney disease, right as he was hitting another wave of sonic experiments. He was a tenor who played the blues like they emanated from deep inside him, taking inspiration from field hollers as much as bebop. He got compared to Coltrane - who made a lot of similar playing decisions - but he had a different way of playing his blues. The Book Cooks shows that Ervin arrived on the solo scene essentially fully formed; he'd change towards the end of the '60s, but this LP was a roadmap for him for the first part of his bandleader career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMG Rights Managemen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54219966480723,"sku":"4050538681697","price":5.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/4329\/1475\/files\/4050538681697_29f35335-34bf-4bf5-944d-41bb852b9db6.jpg?v=1783398059","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.shop\/products\/4050538681697","provider":"GLOBALL SPORTS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
