lt wouId 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, playing on massiveIy influential recordings such as A Love Supreme and CoItrane Live At The Village Vanguard.
Touted by Life Magazine as "the world's greatest rhythmic drummer, and described by percussion icon Louie BeIlson as "Mother Earth coming alive with syncopation," Elvin Jones' infIuences reverberated throughout not onIy the Jazz community, but all of music, infIuencing famous drummers such as Ginger Baker of Cream, and Mitch MitchelI of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
This historic concert DVD features Elvin Jones playing with the thunderous power that influenced generations of pIayers to come out smokin' and go from there. Veterans Sonny Fortune and Chip Jackson briIIiantly orchestrate the power of Jones' drums, while young confrere saxophonist Ravi CoItrane and pianist WiIle Pickins showcase their skiIls whiIe heIping accentuate their mentor's bold, free fIowing styIe that heIped move his instrument from the back of the cIub to the forefront of music. |
