Product Description

At an overbooked all-star saxophone concert held in 1965 in Berlin, the musicians were supposed to only play for 15 minutes. Tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin protested against the restrictive situation by performing the intense and stirring Blues for You for 27 minutes, tearing down the house. A decade later (after Ervin's death in 1970), the performance was released for the first time. Also on this historic album is pianist Horace Parlan's somber solo tribute to Ervin (Lament for Booker), recorded in 1975.
