Oh Yeah Review by Steve Huey

..Oh Yeah often gets downright warped. That's partly because Mingus is freed up to vocalize more often, but it's also due to the presence of mad genius Roland Kirk..It's a shame Kirk only spent three months with the band, because his solo interpretations are such symbiotic reflections of Mingus' intent as a composer. Look no further than "Hog Callin' Blues," a stomping "Haitian Fight Song" descendant where Kirk honks and roars the blues like a man possessed. Mingus' vocal selections radiate the same dementia, whether it's the stream-of-consciousness blues couplets on "Devil Woman," the dark-humored modern-day spiritual "Oh Lord Don't Let Them Drop That Atomic Bomb on Me,"...Oh Yeah is probably the most offbeat Mingus album ever, and that's what makes it so vital.

That's It! is an album by American jazz saxophonist Booker Ervin featuring performances recorded in 1961 for the Candid label.

The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer, Ira Gitler, commented that the album was Ervin's best work up to that time. The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated: "Booker Ervin, who always had a very unique sound on the tenor, is heard in prime form on his quartet set".

Horace Parlan - Up & Down

Pretty stellar combo with Parlan on piano, Booker Ervin on sax, Grant Green on guitar, George Tucker on bass and Al Harewood on drums.

Always a little amusing to have a van Gelder engineered piece with a piano-led group…where everything sounds great BUT that. Comes with the territory…

Horace Parlan - Up & Down LP cover.

Mostly text (green for title, red for artist, white for the rest of the band) on a black background, with a picture of Horace Parlan in the lower third.

The black LP plays on a vintage, restored Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 linear-tracking turntable to the right.

Mal Waldron - The Quest

Seemed an appropriate follow-on to Dialogue, as this is in a similar vein.

Waldron (piano) is the band leader here (although this has also come out as an Eric Dolphy release, likely due to comparative popularity at the time), with Dolphy (alto sax, clarinet), Booker Ervin (tenor sax), Ron Carter (cello), Joe Benjamin (bass), and Charlie Persip (drums).

Booker Ervin - The Song Book

Little catch-up from Thursday/Friday.

I don't know if they felt there was a little "one for them, one for me" feeling when making an album interpreting popular songs/standards, but this was definitely not phoned in.

Good performances all around, nice soloing, good RvG recording. Very enjoyable.
