艺人介绍
Booker Ervin小时候就玩乐器了，不过当时他玩的是老爸的伸缩号。直到加入了空军服役后，靠着自学学会了萨克斯風，自此才正式改行。 Ervin在五、六零年代间曾与抗议大王贝斯手Charles Mingus合作，一方面累积经验与知名度，另一方面也从中学习到不少观念。六零年代中期加入Prestige唱片并发行了许多张专辑，晚期则加入了Blue Note Records，发表了《The In Between》与《Tex Book Tenor》等专辑。 Ervin是六零年代间少数坚持老派传统根据和弦来即兴的乐手，但这不表示他食古不化，他在创作上利用了不少调式〈Modal〉或其他新概念，然后用自己的传统方式演奏；于是，「新旧交替」则成了Ervin音乐的正字标记。

A very distinctive tenor with a hard, passionate tone and an emotional style that was still tied to chordal improvisation, Booker Ervin was a true original. He was originally a trombonist, but taught himself tenor while in the Air Force (1950-1953). After studying music in Boston for two years, he made his recording debut with Ernie Fields R&B band (1956). Ervin gained fame while playing with Charles Mingus (off and on during 1956-1962), holding his own with the volatile bassist and Eric Dolphy. He also led his own quartet, worked with Randy Weston on a few occasions in the 60s, and spent much of 1964-1966 in Europe before dying much too young from kidney disease. Ervin, who is on several notable Charles Mingus records, made dates of his own for Bethlehem, Savoy, and Candid during 1960-1961, along with later sets for Pacific Jazz and Blue Note. His nine Prestige sessions of 1963-1966 (including The Freedom Book, The Song Book, The Blues Book, and The Space Book) are among the high points of his career.
