Structurally Sound is perhaps not Ervin's most provocative album, but a solid and tasty endeavor featuring the suspended chord sounds popularized by McCoy Tyner during the late '60s. Here, the chords come via the brilliant pianist John Hicks, who opens the album with funky high-end triplet figures on Randy Weston's \"Berkshire Blues.\" Joining in is a well-selected roster of musicians, many of whom were also overshadowed by their more well-known contemporaries, including Charles Tolliver on trumpet, Red Mitchell on bass, and Lenny McBrowne on drums. Tolliver contributes the original composition \"Franess,\" a Wayne Shorter-influenced affair that features his fat and burnished tone. They also cover Oliver Nelson's blissful standard \"Stolen Moments\" to good effect. Originally ending with an athletic up-tempo version of \"Take the 'A' Train,\" the Blue Note Connoisseur Series reissue includes a sparkling \"Shiny Stockings,\" featuring an especially inspired chorus by Ervin. An oddball version of \"White Christmas\" also makes it onto the disc, as do alternate takes of \"Franess\" and \"Deep Night.\"” AllMusic Review by Matt Collar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 3.5 \/ 5 ; Discogs : 4.33 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59023280505167,"sku":"ABLU 45316","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Booker_Ervin_-_Structurally_Sound_1.webp?v=1791482219","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/fr\/products\/booker-ervin-structurally-sound","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
