The Freedom Book

Sometimes history books get it wrong. *Freedom Book\" gets it right*. It\'s one of the most overlooked accomplishments of mid-century modern jazz. A contemporary of Coltrane\'s, Booker Ervin belongs in the same exalted category. He was adventuresome; he was furiously creative; his sound was powerfully expressive. He moaned, he cried, he swung. But more than anything, he fearlessly followed his muse. *Freedom Book* is an inspired and extended suite on the very nature of joyous jazz.
