@firetape Yeah. That cymbal is still vibrating.

Many drummers decline as they age - either through illness, such as Louis Bellson or just old age, as with Max Roach. Their performances just before they died are rather sad to watch. It is great to see Elvin playing like a man half his age so late in life.

His wife was Japanese. Keiko, her name. I like that. Long live interracial dating as well!

Hearing Elvin when I was 13 years old at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago changed my life, that experience was what made me want to become a professional musician. Elvin will always be one of my musical heroes!
