Booker Ervin - Lament For Booker Ervin (vinyl rip)

Also a repost of a 2014 rip 

"At an overbooked all-star saxophone concert held in 1965 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 27½-minutes, tearing down the house. A decade later (after Ervin's 1970 death) the performance (with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Neils Pedersen and drummer Alan Dawson) was released for the first time and its passion was worth waiting for. Also on this historic album is pianist Horace Parlan's somber solo tribute to Ervin ("Lament for Booker") which was recorded in 1975." AMG

The first rip on my new Pro-Ject carbon turntable!

    As a vinyl junkie I love the sound your getting out of your new TT. I looked at the Projects before buying a Rega RP6 and was very impressed with them. Curious as to the cartridge, amp, preamp, recording interface etc. The soundstage from your rip has great presence, and separation of instruments. The midrange is very impressive.Thank you KC.

    I've been looking at these turntables recently. The straight usb to hard disk seems to be the logical one for me right now. Alas, my fridge just died and the extra money went there. Thank you! Will try to spin it this week-end.

    Missed it the 1st time. Thks for the re-up: I LOVE Booker. Such a kind soul always blowing fire, never an empty note, so underrated. One those countless losses which made the story of that music. And I don't want to forget that heartbreaking tribute from Horace to his soul brother: poor sound but such high fidelity!
