What can i say.... Elvin Jones, one of the great modern jazz drummers! Thanks for the post.

@harpkeys Bro, I envy you. I would have loved to have seen that group. I fell in love with the Blue Note trio recordings. I wish I could have seen them live. But I was too young and too unhip at the time......

@ 00:40 it shows that Elvin loves to swing...

I saw Elvin and Farrell with Wilbur Little on bass many times, \ at the Vanguard but also at a club near Lincoln Center (does anyone remember the name of that place?). I didn't appreciate Farrell then, by comparison to Coltrane, because he didn't have as deep, authoritative a tone and that piercing self-eamination. I agree that Farrell is vastly underrated--e.g., I enjoy his sound more than the Liebman/Grossman twins. But in all these post-Coltrane videos, the music is more about Elvin.

I heard them several times at The Vanguard in 1969-70. Unforgettable. It was another time and place. They played every tune like their lives depended on it. Jones and Garrison together with Joe Farrell are forever etched in my memory. It's great to see this trio again. Thanks to whoever put it up.

Elvin Jones, Max Roach, can't decide, and of course Buddy Rich, Krupa, Buddy Miles, Mitch Michell, so many I can't remember, they're all great!
I love how you can hear some hip-hop style beats for like 1 or 2 measures in his playing.. talk about being ahead of his time..
