Best known for his work with Charles
Mingus, saxophonist Booker Ervin was a
distinctive soloist with an assertive sound. One of his pinnacle statements as
a leader was Structurally Sound, cut
for Pacific Jazz in 1966 with a quintet featuring Charles
Tolliver, John Hicks, Red Mitchell, and Lenny
McBrowne.
