Elvin let's each player get their thing happening. He is so supportive and the music is so free flowing.

I sat side of stage in the early 70s at ronnies, night after night, year after year when he visited, had to walk miles home in the early hours, with the sound of his band ringing in my ears.....

mr thunder ... caught him 100+ times, coast-to-coast ... if he was in town, i was there every set of the engagement ... hard to imagine any other music being so satisfying ... i miss him so much!

i never missed a departed musician like he was a family member or a close friend. except for ELVIN!

His spirit will always be with us! He is playing music in the next world right now!!!

I'm thinking, based upon other tours at that time, personnel is: Elvin Jones - drums Eric Lewis - piano Steve Kirby - bass Darren Barrett - trumpet Antoine Roney - tenor saxophone

Lately something that amazes me, is how Elvin could be so in the background, yet be so up front at the same time!

I studied w/ a drummer from St Louis named Joe Charles who knew Elvin and Trane. He was a source drummer like Jones and first time I heard him his concept struck me as producing totally elastic 3D 'rhythmic bubbles' as the only way I could describe it. That may account for what you're noticing.

What a genius! Elvin is one of a kind and an original pioneer of jazz drumming! one of kind!!

What matters? genius or not, pioneer or not to Elvin? He has no concern for such notions. Elvin is the Author and Architect or Drum Set Rhythm for every generation to follow him. His is the correct model and the superior to all others. The rhythms and combinations Elvin has shown us are now the correct and superior fundamentals for Modern Drum Set.

what a pocket! Much respect to Elvin for keeping it so simple for so long!

The Remarkable thing for me ,,,besides the excellence of the younger guys with him,,is , Elvin,,,now ,,plays these intricate polyrythmic lines ,,somehow making it sound like Childsplay,,,in a smooth sort of way. fantastic.

See where Steve Gadd got the "Late In The Evening" beat from, Elvin used the Mozambique rhythm quite a lot

We should know the fact that Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and so many Jazz musicians are so special for the progress of modern music. Especially Coltrane quartet’s aim seems to be far beyond other musician’s of that. I think they are saints.

What great time of jazz Rip Mr elvin Jones truely nice music

This is driving me to another planet! My Man Elvin Jones with some of the finest musicians on Planet Earth! Ohhh MY!!! This is rated Jazz Finest!

It was nice surprise to listen the show starting the base player playing Japanese Song so called "Hanayome Ningyo (bride doll)". It was a grate performance what so ever.

I love elvin jones simple hihat playing around 34:10. He's digging it so much.

Awesome bass.

Saw Jazz Machine at the Blackstone in Chicago a couple times. They had some single chairs in rows off to stage left which side he set up on. I got front row maybe 5' off and a little behind Elvin's sock cymbal. Was a 4" stage platform so I was right IN every bit of his stuff. He was an absolute source force-of-nature drummer. Dug so hard into his snare w/ his brush sweep on a ballad he literally GROWLED in'and'out as he breathed deep into it. One of the strangest most raw powerful, moving and sublime amazing musical events I've ever experience.

@@thoughtsforthebuilders Thanks! Once again, this song performed by Elvin Jones is surreal to me, but Elvin's drum solo is so engaging. BTW in case you didn't know, he played a gang boss in a "psychedelic western" film called Zachariah which features his drum solo in one scene. It was the first time I saw him in action but I found it was disappointing for the legendary drummer. Later, learned that the sound was recorded by a session drummer who played while watching the screen. You can find the scene somewhere on KZread.

Love the way the toms are panned on this spread, across the channels.

I thought it was but after a few other angles I think it's an 18. I know he did use a 16 though. Its because his Tom's are so high it makes it look smaller. I may be wrong

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Elvin Ray Jones (September 9, 1927 - May 18, 2004) ... He's 73 here. Does he look like he enjoyed his work?

A real master of his art - btw he played a 16" Bass Drum here. But I liked the earthier sound of his formerly Gretsch drums much better.

Elvin looks like a conduit for music itself when he plays.

Thank you !

Great stuff .... its just a shame you couldn't see the forest for the trees . The shots are so close , you cant see the whole band at once . Still nice concert .

Really nice,Zycopolis TV thanks.

wasn't expecting to dig on steve kirby so much. you could tell Elvin was really grooving to his solo! but then kirby does this face at the end like... eh, whatever....

I find that 18 and 16" kick drums have a little more impact in the audible range. they don't have the sub bass of the 20+ but for jazz and groove music i would rather hear a clear kick attack than feel a sub bass thud.

Nice music...

my goodness!! Mr Elvin and the entire band is just so damn smashing
