1967 studio album by Booker Ervin
Structurally Sound is an album by American jazz saxophonist Booker Ervin recorded in 1966 and released on the Pacific Jazz label.[ 2] The album was rereleased on CD in 2001 on the Blue Note label with four bonus tracks.
The Allmusic review by Matt Collar awarded the album 3½ stars and stated: "Structurally Sound is perhaps not Ervin's most provocative album, but a solid and tasty endeavor".[ 3]
