Booker Ervin never blinked. At least that’s the memory I have of him: unmoving body, statuary face with two-pronged moustache, fingers racing but minimal, a high-cry sear of intensity pouring out his horn and his eyes steely and unvariable as two firmly chambered bullets. When I started doing these shows on taintradio.org—8PM Fridays and noon the Tuesday after, Greenwich Village jam session time—I could barely get through a show without playing a piece of him, but it’s been a while; which may help explain why, when I started off this week with some present-day young trumpeters like Josh Evans and Ambrose Akinmusire, then cycled through peak-period Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw—the link was Larry Young’s organ on The Moontrane—I ended up with Ervin playing with the way-too-unremembered organist Don Patterson on Johnny Comes Marching Home. From there it was a short step to Ervin’s Day to Mourn and his turn on Mingus’ Prayer for Passive Resistance. Also encountered en route: Bill Barron’s big-shouldered tenor work and, as summer into autumn slips, Branford Marsalis’s gorgeous ballad of the same name. After that? How can one not celebrate the expanded reissue of Erroll Garner’s Concert by the Sea, then relapse into the balm-from-better-than-Gilead of Mozart’s A-major piano concerto in a fluent performance by Richard Goode and the responsive, unconducted Orpheus chamber orchestra? You could do worse than drop by for a couple of hours of this, I bet.

Things to do while waiting for New York’s own Lezlie Harrison to get a record out: express surprise about the continued hot weather when we expected the usual September shift, take too many subway rides to doctors’ and government offices, buy better mousetraps, program Mahler’s mostly paradisal 4th symphony because Claudio Abbado’s Lucerne performance of it is as great as his Lucerne performances of Mahler’s middle symphonies, only shorter—on this week’s Updoc, Friday at 8PM and noon next Tuesday, just past Hudson River Indian Summer time—but before that pay attention to Cecile McLorin Salvant’s new record and decide that her tilt toward mannerism—though it yields expressively disorienting slides from Blossom-Dearie-innocence to Sarah-Vaughan-chestnotes to vibrato-forms so smoothly formed they seem like trills bronzed by Brancusi—is actually a sign of appropriate adventure at the age of twenty-six when someone’s got a gift as large as hers. Let’s hope so: she could have just made her first record again and waited for applause. Pianist Aaron Diehl backs her up on the new one and also plays a couple with Victor Goines and with his own trio, while Ran Blake plays Monk tunes solo—he used to baby-sit for Thelonious’ son T.S. and he really knows his way around the apartment. Sound good to you? Then feel free to turn on (your apple or other techno-fruit), tune in, and drop up, up, up.

Of course I’ll do an (almost) all-Sonny-Rollins show at the drop of a hat the size of his 85th birthday, which a grateful nation received earlier this week, on the 7th. And for a graphic I almost went with the image of our Newk on a hundred dollar bill that’s been making the rounds of the interweb, but quickly reflected that what he’s given us is so much better than a piece of money. Big-souled and wide-hearted in its embrace of life and its issue of joy, he gives us, gratis, a happiness of a size hard to find in this world sometimes—a music whose largesse is happily beyond the clutch of our grasp. I’ve done four such shows already, or maybe five. The “almost” in this one is John Coltrane’s tune Like Sonny, always said to be based on some lick Mr. Rollins played, and believe it or not it’s taken me this long to realize that the reference is to Sonny’s tune Way Out West. I must be the last one on board. Anyway both tunes turn up in mid-show—starting 8PM Friday, then noon next Tuesday, East Broadway Rundown time—followed by his more direct encounters with Coleman Hawkins and Ornette Coleman and a host of unbelievably lucky bandmates. Ten cheers, twenty, eighty, eighty-five, more more more. What’s amazing is how new the music remains, even the familiar pieces. It’s life, it’s joy, and you can take that to the bank. In a manner of speaking.
