Is there a Jackson in the house, written by Chip Jackson, bassist. What a great song! I love my father's legacy!

[@jake7945]

Your Father is one of the most beautiful human beings to have ever graced this world.

[@dylangatenby9928]

Your Father was truly a genius of the highest regard!! Agreed it is a great chart!

[@eukosmiker4662]

He’s a Saint. I always have a nice picture of him at my place, no matter where I moved.

Your Father and all his Brothers made it for me. I listen every day.

[@JAZZER5]

That's delicious music. Elvin Jones one of the great drummers. This group is also fine tuned - Bravo!

[@Pastor4all52]

I lived in Newport many moons ago. Summers are great but winters are a bitch. Saw Elvin in New York. What a great drummer!

[@ArthurHolloway-f1l]

Your dad was one of my favorite drummers. I was listening to him on "A Love Supreme" this morning.

[@jeneiistvan]

Incredible outstanding & cool performance. I adore this sound. Thank you.

[@georgesprudente3942]

Thanks Jazz on MV. Good afternoon.

[@bellavia5]

For any drummers who watch this -notice how EJ holds the light end of the stick for his snare work. You might try it. The stick does'nt want to fly out of your hand like it does the holding it the usual way.

[@lucianlarghi5402]

John Agresti I like to use both ends for different things. if I'm doing alot of light snare work, I'll use the tip. But for hard grooves I like the back. It opens you snare up so much. Just listen to Jones' snare.

[@bellavia5]

roger that. I use the heavy end for the snare ( stay's in my hand better) and use the small end for the brass. Maybe even use a lighter stick for brass.

[@lucianlarghi5402]

John Agresti they're all solutions, man. I've seen cats like Eric Harland use two different sticks at the same time, generally a nylon tip for cymbals and wood tip for drums.

[@drewper73]

If the stick is flying out of your hand when you hold it the other way, then maybe the solution isn't turning it around. I'm pretty sure that's not the reason why Elvin holds it that way. I've always found that the vibration of the tip of the stick right in the palm of my hand to be a little uncomfortable. Of course that's if I'm playing matched grip. The great Neil Peart used to hold his left stick backwards to get a more powerful snare sound. I'm pretty sure he stopped doing that.

[@PaulReadMusic]

Pat La Barbera on tenor is inspiring, as always. Sonny, too. So great to hear their approaches back to back!

Will Calhoun's recently released an album called, "Celebrating Elvin Jones." I bought it at a Living Colour show a few months ago and it's incredible! I knew Calhoun could play rock, funk, metal and r & b but I had never heard him play jazz/swing. I should've known better!

[@andrewyka]

Elvin!!1 is Jazz!!!

[@drewper73]

I have to ask. Can anyone tell me whose giant blue Pearl kit that is behind Elvin? I don't know if I've ever seen many toms. This was in 1990. I didn't know a lot about jazz at the time, being 16-17. I had discovered Chick Corea Elektric Band, Allan Holdsworth, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and there wasn't much else. But I read Modern Drummer religiously so I probably knew of the drummer that owned that big blue kit. It's not William Kennedy's set is it? At first I thought Billy Cobham but he doesn't set up his drums like that. Maybe Iron Maiden were on the Newport Jazz Festival ticket that year, because it almost looks like Nicko McBrain's kit. He was possibly my first favorite drummer.

[@jazzzingo1513]

I think that's Ricky Wellman's set with Miles Davis.

[@markgeiger7700]

maaaaan who cares... it's a Pearl.... that's like askin...who's Yugo?.. haha.. just not a fan of Pearl...

Great to see and hear Elvin in top form with his Jazz Machine. I heard a similar edition but with Frank Foster instead of Sonny Fortune and a Japanese pianist instead of James Williams in 1984. But this band really burns.

BAAHH!! That is quite easy. Elvin Jones has never told us about the little midget that, during decades, secretly poured out from his trousers every time he did a humanly impossible Drum Solo, helping him in all those impossible things, baffling us during all these decades, making us believe that there was only one Elvin!.

I'm a big Coltrane fan, and it just seems wrong to listen to Elvin without McCoy, and especially not with trane or Wayne shorter.

in the contrary, it shows all the perspective that Elvin gives to power music and drums

[@bcdrummer1962]

Huh? What a strange comment.

[@bellavia5]

He's using a 20 inch bass. It's BIG enough.

[@khutchdrum]

+John Agresti definitely an 18"

[@bellavia5]

+Kyle Hutchins I say 20 inch. We need some more input .

[@dogmart]

+John Agresti It is a 14x18 bass drum. Elvin mainly played 18" or even 16" bass drums--even Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson were stunned by Elvin's ability to make small bass drums sound big. This Tama kit and his subsequent kit, a Yamaha Maple Custom, both featured 18" bass drums. He did not use 20" kicks.

[@dogmart]

+John Agresti Here's one example of an article that documents Elvin's use of 18" and 16" bass drums: www.drummagazine.com/gear/post/a-glimpse-of-elvin-jones-gear/

[@bellavia5]

+dogmart It's 20 inches.
