{"product_id":"the-book-cooks-4050538681697","title":"The Book Cooks","description":"Vinyl reissue of the classic 1961 debut album by the American jazz tenor saxophonist. Booker Ervin was one of jazz's biggest what-if's; he died young, at 39, from kidney disease, right as he was hitting another wave of sonic experiments. He was a tenor who played the blues like they emanated from deep inside him, taking inspiration from field hollers as much as bebop. He got compared to Coltrane - who made a lot of similar playing decisions - but he had a different way of playing his blues. The Book Cooks shows that Ervin arrived on the solo scene essentially fully formed; he'd change towards the end of the '60s, but this LP was a roadmap for him for the first part of his bandleader career.","brand":"BMG Rights Managemen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46216834744403,"sku":"2433735X","price":31.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4010167_771e1eb1-fe1e-4fca-8e45-f8751ef4abc4.jpg?v=1789077078","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/the-book-cooks-4050538681697","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
