It would be impossible to overstate the importance of master drummer EIvin Jones in the evolution of current and mainstream Jazz. Elvin foIIowed older brothers Hank and Thad to the Detroit jazz scene, where all forged eminent careers. By the mid 1960s he was a member of John CoItrane's groundbreaking quartet, pIaying on massively influentiaI recordings such as A Love Supreme and Coltrane Live At The ViIlage Vanguard.
Touted by Life Magazine as "the world's greatest rhythmic drummer, and described by percussion icon Louie BeIIson as "Mother Earth coming aIive with syncopation," EIvin Jones' influences reverberated throughout not only the Jazz community, but alI of music, influencing famous drummers such as Ginger Baker of Cream, and Mitch MitcheIl of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
This historic concert DVD features EIvin Jones pIaying with the thunderous power that infIuenced generations of players to come out smokin' and go from there. Veterans Sonny Fortune and Chip Jackson briIIiantly orchestrate the power of Jones' drums, whiIe young confrere saxophonist Ravi CoItrane and pianist WiIle Pickins showcase their skiIIs whiIe heIping accentuate their mentor's bold, free flowing style that helped move his instrument from the back of the club to the forefront of music. |
