Editorial Reviews

NAIRD Award- Honorable Mention

Given by: The National Association of Independent Record Distributors

Product Description

It would be impossible to overstate the importance of master drummer Elvin Jones in the evolution and current mainstream jazz. Elvin followed older brothers Hank and Thad onto the Detroit jazz scene, where all forged eminent careers. By the Mid- 1960s he was playing with Coltrane's groundbreaking quartet, and was looked to by musicians who wanted to know was where jazz headed and to feel how deep the human spirit it could still reach.

Today Elvin Jones stills plays with thunderous power, leading to generations of players that come out smokin' and go from there. Veterans Sonny Fortune and Chip Jackson brilliantly orchestrate the power of the drums; while young confreres saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and pianist Willie Pickins, dig in and scale the sheer rockface of their mentors' unyielding energy.

V.I.E.W. Video takes you into the volcanic heart of jazz, with a multi-generational band that is keeping the faith and developing the musicians who will safeguard it into the future.

Is There A Jackson In The House?

Doll Of The Bride

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
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
