Editorial Reviews

NAIRD Award- Honorable Mention

Given by: The National Association of Independent Record Distributors


Product Description

Elvin Jones is the archetypical modern jazz musician -instinct not intellect. This is the kind of music he has played to perfection since his days with John Coltrane. There are some heavy-duty side-men in his present "Jazz Machine", Sonny Fortune and Ravi John Coltrane, the son of the most influential tenor sax player ever.FEATURING:Sonny Fortune (saxophone, flute), Ravi John Coltrane (saxophone), Willie Pickins (piano),Chip Jackson (bass), Elvin Jones (drums)."Elvin Jones' ferocity and originality and subtlety on his instrument changed the nature of jazz drumming."-Whitney Balliett in American Musicians "Elvin was ready from the first time I heard him, you know, I could hear the genius there." -John Coltrane "The music (Elvin) played with Mr. Coltrane's band often burst with a tumultuous energy that, at the time, defied a whole set of jazz and social conventions. Nearly 30 years later Mr. Jones hasn't retreated: his music, loud and brash, keeps a transgressional quality to it."-Peter Watrous in the New York Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Smokin'! Elvin Jones is a volcano of rhythm., July 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Jazz Machine [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Percussion powerhouse Elvin Jones, the rhythm dynamo who propelled the classic John Coltrane Quartet, brings his screaming intensity to his Jazz Machine in this stirring video that features Trane's son Ravi on tenor as well as veteran saxman Sonny Fortune and Chicago mainstay Willie Pickins on piano. Songs include "Is There a Jackson in the House?", "Ray El" and "Doll of the Bride". #1346 (58 min, Hi-Fi Stereo)

5.0 out of 5 stars God bless Elvin Jones, February 24, 2006
A must for Be-Bop lovers. Elvin Jones is the master and, regretably, there will probably never be another drummer who even comes close to his combination of talent, skills and ability.

He is not just a drummer, he is what Jazz is all about. Pure Joy and Freedom of Expressive Poetry. Everyone should have this in their DVD video Jazz collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth
This is the result of a true defender of jazz. This is beyond John Coltrane. This shows the growth of jazz. All drummers should see this DVD. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Great!
This is amazing footage... three songs, all of which Elvin takes solos on. Sonny Fortune literally BURNS through the last tune, and Ravi Coltrane is right there with him. Read more
