"... kicked off an early-'60s hot streak ... what really makes (this record) is Ervin's Texas shout on tenor saxophone, a sound that's both down-home and majestic."
- NPR
Recorded and released in 1960, The Book Cooks is the debut album from saxophonist Booker Ervin as bandleader and launched his successful but abbreviated solo career. Ervin is joined on the front line by fellow tenor sax player Zoot Sims and Tommy Turrentine on trumpet, accompanied by the rhythm section of pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist George Tucker and Dannie Richmond on drums.
