He had recently come home from two years based in Barcelona. The quintet is Charles Tolliver on trumpet, John Hicks on piano, Red Mitchell on bass and Lenny McBrowne on drums, with Ervin on tenor saxophone. Pacific Jazz issued it as PJ-10119 in mono and ST-20119 in stereo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe programme mixes his own writing with other people's: \"Boo's Blues\" is Ervin's, \"Franess\" is Tolliver's, and the rest draws on Randy Weston, Oliver Nelson and Billy Strayhorn alongside three standards. Ervin is best remembered for his work with Charles Mingus; Blue Note describe him as \"a distinctive soloist with an assertive and immediately recognizable sound.\" He died of kidney disease in 1970, at 39.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tone Poet Series is produced by Joe Harley.
