Ervin's tenor saxophone sound was haunted by the loneliness and spaciousness of the Texas plains where he was raised. The Southwest moan was an integral part of his playing. But his style went beyond the classic Texas tenor tradition to incorporate the intricacies of bebop and suggestions of the free jazz that was initiating one of the periods of self-renewal that keeps jazz fresh and interesting. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Freedom Book, \u003c\/em\u003erecorded at the end of 1963, was one of Ervin's masterpieces.
