Touted by Life Magazine as “the world’s greatest rhythmic drummer,” and described by percussion icon Louie Bellson as “Mother Earth coming alive with syncopation,” it would be impossible to overstate the importance of drummer Elvin Jones in the evolution of current and mainstream Jazz.
This historic concert DVD features Elvin Jones playing with the thunderous power that reverberated throughout not only the Jazz community, but all of music, helping Jones move the drum kit from the back of the club to the forefront of music.
“…a powerful demonstration of modern jazz by one of music’s masters”
