Elvin Jones cut a ton of records. I’ve picked a lot up but even if I wasn’t trying to catch ’em all I’d have bought this one. Look at the cover! It’s a rough matte sleeve. Very unusual for Blue Note. Flying fish and Elvin emerging from the sea within the gatefold. The record is high quality non-fusion 70s Jazz but not overly exciting. It’s his later Blue Note band with Gene Perla on bass and duelling saxes David Liebman (pre-Miles) and Steve Grossman (post-Miles).
Thought I’d start back up with one that’s just sublime music. Third way music? That kind of thing. I think old François thought he made classic bass violin music but I think everyone else would call it Jazz or thereabouts. All the records of his that I’ve heard are dynamite. A virtuoso bass player and composer, this record is percussion and Rabbath but he plays up to five bass parts per track. Another of those records that would make a great soundtrack to a film no one has made yet. Love this man.
