It's amazing but over forty years ago while on leave from the Air Force, me and four other people went to a now defunct jazz club in the Watts area in LA to see two Texas tenor players--Booker Ervin and Harold Land along with Terry Trotter, piano; Red Mitchell, bass and Lennie McBrowne on drums. The juke box was playing Coltrane's "Ascension" and we were the only people in the club but these cats really wailed with Booker the standout as he is in this disc-a rare outing for him with Tommy Flanagan in place of Jaki Byard on piano. The only tune I can remember from that night was a swing'ng version of "It Might as Well Be Spring" and Booker came over and thanked us for coming and smiled and said, "There's a lot of love in the air". Most of the musicians are gone now playing in jazz heaven with the exception of Terry Trotter who I recently saw at Spazio's. I reminded him of that night and he sadly remembered that beautiful night when everything was in orbit. This splendid disc brings back that memory!!
