Top Comments of this video!! :3
My dad was a jazz drummer and Elvin Jones was his hero. About twenty five years ago, my dad had the opportunity to hear Elvin give a masterclass in Montreal at the Salle Gesu concert hall and actually got to play with him.
My dad told me that besides marrying my mom and my birth, that day with Elvin was happiest day of his life.

A true gentle giant.. the kindest man I've ever met.. It was mid-seventies when I met him at Frank Ippolito's drum shop in NYC.. He was signed to Vanguard Records as was I at the time.. He invited me to his session that evening which to this day remains the highlight of my life.. When I remember that evening I think of the man before his drumming.. He was a powerful sweet soul and in my heart I still feel him deeply.. Thank you for this video.. much appreciated.

When I was a teenager my dad took me to see elvin jones at the blue note in nyc. It was a magical and pivotal moment in my life and it forever cemented my love for drums and was instrumental in me wanting to becoming a professional musician. After the show he shook my hand and it was a moment I will never forget. I knew he was just a man with all of the faults of a human being but it also felt as if I were in the presence of something outside of ourselves and timeless.
Just to note he had an extremely firm handshake.

Ive realized over the years that Elvin Jones was a big reason for me loving Tranes great quartet. He opened up the sound of the band with his melodic drumming for Trane to improvise and at the same time propelled it rhythmically along with Tyner. John Coltranes urgency set the table. What a great jazz drummer!

Back in â67, when I first discovered Elvin Jones and Tony Williams, I also discovered accidentally I guess, that a 6 stroke roll (RLRRLL) played as triplets, Right hand on ride, Left hand on snare, once it was played fairly up-tempo, was a key that cracked open a doorway to Mr. Jonesâ basic style⊠Just the START of a long, long, process!

Holy shit the timing of this video couldn't be more perfect. I just listened to A Love Supreme last night and was blown away by the drumming. throughout the whole day I was watching his videos and searching around the internet for his albums. And then boom, Drumeo releases this video. I guess it's all meant to be.
