Description: Booker Ervin’s 1964 album *The Blues Book* catches the saxophonist in a gritty, hard-swinging moment, and the cover’s moody street scene at 16 Minetta Lane feels like an extension of his sound—tight, tense, and full of late-night possibility. In this tucked-away corner off Sixth Avenue, the Village’s shadowed brick and narrow curve of the lane echo the album’s deep blues and searching solos. Standing where the photo was taken, you can almost hear the echo of Ervin’s horn bouncing off the walls, a reminder of when jazz pushed forward in small, unassuming city pockets. This is one of the featured stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
