4.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong with Elvin in charge... 4+, April 1, 2002

David Landes (Redwood City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Then Again / Midnight Walk (Audio CD)
This jazz has life! Rarely is there a dull moment on these two albums one one CD. Each song does its own thang with a personality all its own; from the mysterious African jungle to the good-time feel of a New Orleans club. It is not quite a five star album but comes close enough. Very solid and consistent. The high point is perhaps "Tintiyana" with fun-loving solos and a beautiful polyrhythmic piano intro. Here is the lineup of musicians:
Art Davis - Bass
Leonard Feather - Original Liner Notes
Don Friedman - Piano
Elvin Jones - Drums
Hank Jones - Piano
Thad Jones - Trumpet, Cornet
Melba Liston - Arranger, Conductor
Hank Mobley - Sax (Tenor)
Charles K.I. Davis - Sax (Baritone)
Steve James - Piano (Electric)
George Abend - Percussion
Abdullah Ibrahim - Piano
Frank Wess - Flute, Sax (Tenor)
Donald Moore - Bass

All of these guys are good and play well together. The only question is one of individual taste. Sample the tracks above and follow your instincts. This is not a B.S. jazz album. If you like the samples, you will like all of what Elvin and his men deliver here. What else would you expect from the world's best jazz drummer?

5.0 out of 5 stars Elvin Jones: Master Drummer, January 14, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Then Again / Midnight Walk (Audio CD)
As a fellow drummer, I see Elvin Jones as a force of nature--a volcano of power and force, but always with great feeling and touch. This is a unique recording in that we hear Elvin in a big band setting, expressing another side of his great talent. A great recording and a great drummer/musician...plus, the Jones brothers are all here: Thad, Elvin, and Hank.
