Elvin!


Elvin! is a jazz album by drummer Elvin Jones, recorded in 1961 and 1962 and released on the Riverside label. It features Jones playing in a group with his brothers, trumpeter Thad and pianist Hank, along with tenor saxophonist Frank Foster, flautist Frank Wess and bassist Art Davis.

Reception

The AllMusic review called the music "straight-ahead with a strong Count Basie feel... Jones is still recognizable on the fairly obscure material and shows that he can cook in the fairly conventional setting. All of the musicians are in fine form."
