Booker Ervin - The Trance

Quote "This music was recorded at the beginning of 1965 in Munich, Germany, A session that also produced the Ervin - Dexter Gordon encounter "Setting the Pace" on Prestige. It captures the same controlled frenzy that made Ervin's Stateside studio encounters with pianist Jaki Byard and drummer Alan Dawson such revelations "
