1961 studio album by Booker Ervin
That's It! is an album by American jazz saxophonist Booker Ervin featuring performances recorded in 1961 for the Candid label.[ 1]
The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer, Ira Gitler , commented that the album was Ervin's best work up to that time.[ 2] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated: "Booker Ervin, who always had a very unique sound on the tenor, is heard in prime form on his quartet set".[ 3]
