With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

November 7, 2021: The Book
A brilliant Texas-born tenor-sax player with a big, beautiful, bluesy tone, Booker Teleferro Ervin II didn’t quite reach his 40th birthday before dying of kidney disease. Best known for his work with Charles Mingus, Ervin left behind a startlingly large legacy besides: over a dozen solid leader dates - 9 on the Prestige label alone, as well as great work with Randy Weston, Jaki Byard, and many others.

- but my first thot today was Booker had that thing I've inarticulately just called in Trane his 'humanity'. Which I guess now by which I mean his Tone & has Phrasing - & Expression. & if not entirely Trane's Technique & Dexterity - not entirely without that either ! In a way even - a 'Blusier' focus allows it to be appreciated for what it is...

- but I detangled my desktop speaker wires & dusted them off. I use iTunes to stream here - & there's the EQ to easily preset for every pair. I got two pair of desktops - one HarmonKardon, & one AltecLansing which have more Bass. So adjusting relative Volumes on them is a kind of 'mixing'...
