	Coalition Used - LP - BST 84361 1970 Blue & White Label Label Stereo Original. Van Gelder Machine Stamped In Dead Wax. Small Cut Corner. Appears Glossy, Unplayed. “Drummer Elvin Jones' Blue Note Sessions Have Long Been Underrated, Partly Because The Label Itself Was Declining During The Era And Also Partly Due To The Rise Of The Avant-Garde And Fusion, Which Overshadowed Jones' Passionate And Advanced Hard Bop. In 1970, Elvin's Band Consisted Of George Coleman And Frank Foster On Tenors (Foster Also Plays Bass Clarinet On One Number), Bassist Wilbur Little, Candido On Conga, And The Drummer/Leader. This Was A Particularly Creative And Often Intense Ensemble, Attached To The Hard Bop Tradition But Always Looking Forward. On Four Group Originals (Including Coleman's "5/4 Thing") And "Yesterdays," The Quintet Generates A Lot Of Heat, With The Contrast Between The Tones Of Coleman And Foster Making This Album (Not Yet Reissued On CD) Of Particular Interest.” Scott Yanow, All Music Guide. more

	Elvin! Used Import - SMJ-6192 1977 Japanese Reissue, Still In Shrink With Insert But No Obi Strip. "Drummer Elvin Jones' First Full-Length Album As A Leader Is Different Than One Would Expect When It Is Taken Into Consideration That He Was A Member Of The Fiery John Coltrane Quartet At The Time. This Sextet Session, Which Also Includes His Brothers Thad And Hank On Cornet And Piano In Addition To Flutist Frank Wess, Frank Foster On Tenor, And Bassist Art Davis, Is Straight-Ahead With A Strong Count Basie Feel. Jones Is Still Recognizable On The Fairly Obscure Material (Only "You Are Too Beautiful" Qualifies As A Standard) And Shows That He Can Cook In The Fairly Conventional Setting. All Of The Musicians Are In Fine Form, And Two Selections Feature The Rhythm Section As A Trio." AMG - Scott Yanow. more

	It Don't Mean A Thing... New - LP - ENJ-8066 1 Sealed 1994 Limited Edition 180gm Original. “Elvin Jones Has Participated In Many Recording Sessions Through The Years, But This LP Is One Of The Most Well-Rounded Sets He Has Ever Led. The Lineup Of Musicians Is Very Impressive: Trumpeter Nicholas Payton, Sonny Fortune On Tenor And Flute, Trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, Pianist Willie Pickens, Bassist Cecil McBee, And Vocalist Kevin Mahogany. Everyone Plays Up To Their Potential And The Material Has Plenty Of Variety, Ranging From Monk, Ellington, And Strayhorn To A Traditional Japanese Folk Song Arranged By Elvin's Wife, Keiko ("A Lullaby Of Itsugo Village"), Two Features For Mahogany (A Touching Version Of "Lush Life" And His Scat-Filled "Bopsy"), And Some Authentic-Sounding R&B (Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come"). Payton, Marsalis, And Fortune Are Not On Every Selection, But Each Have Their Chance To Shine While Pianist Willie Pickens Is Showcased With The Trio On A Medley Of "A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing" And "Ask Me Now." And As For The Drummer, There Is Still No One Around Who Has Captured The Sound And Spirit Of Elvin Jones.” Scott Yanow, AMG. more

	Revival (Live At Pookie's Pub) Audiophile - Used - B003576101 2022 3LP 180gm Audiophile Reissue Housed In A Beautiful Tri-Fold Jacket. Includes 16-Page Booklet. "Recorded Live At A Small New York City Venue, Revival: Live At Pookie's Pub Captures Drummer Elvin Jones And His Quartet In Several Sweaty, Intensely Delivered Performances Recorded Over A Three-day Period In 1967. This Was A Year After Jones Had Left John Coltrane's Storied Quartet And Launched His Own Influential Group With Tenor Saxophonist/flutist Joe Farrell, Who Is Featured Prominently Here. Joining Them Are Pianist Billy Greene And Bassist Wilbur Little, Both Regular Members Of Jones' Ensembles In The Late '60s. With His Roiling, Tidal Wave-like Drum Style, Jones Was Easily One Of The Most Distinctive And Immediately Recognizable Players Of His Era. His Playing Was As Much A Defining Aspect Of The Sound Of '60s Modal Jazz And Post-bop As Coltrane's. It's That Vibe He Carried Forward With His Own Group, Bringing Along The Advanced Harmonic Devices And Kinetic Group Interplay He Championed With Coltrane, As Well As A Passion For Lyrical Jazz Standards, And Originals That Prefigured The Funk And Blues Explorations Of The '70s. Farrell Is An Absolute Monster Here, Tearing His Way Through A 16-minute Version Of His Angular Blues "13 Avenue B." The Band Throw More Fire On Their Off-the-cuff Rendition Of Jimmy Heath's "Gingerbread Boy" Featuring Larry Young; The Organist Clearly Showed Up At The Gig And It's Fascinating To Hear Him Apply His Ringing Organ Chords To The Piano. We Also Get A Crackling Takes On The Jones Original "Keiko's Birthday March" (Dedicated To His Wife), Composer Ferde Grofé's Western-themed "On The Trail" (The Bar Owner's Favorite As Jones Says), And A Delicately Rendered "My Funny Valentine" (Marked By Farrell's Luminous Flute). While The Late-'60s Post-bop Aesthetic Was Often Deeply Intellectual, Jones Could Groove As He Does On Frank Foster's "Raunchy Rita," A Song He Recorded A Year Prior With Bassist Richard Davis On Heavy Sounds And Which He Pushes With A Raw, Dance Club Swagger Here."
