The Main Force


The Main Force is a jazz album by drummer Elvin Jones, recorded in 1976 and released on the Vanguard label.

Reception

The AllMusic review stated, "This inconsistent 1976 release from the mighty Elvin Jones is most successful when it draws on the high-energy, advanced hard bop style of the drummer's post-Coltrane period. It's a different story when it comes to the date's superfluous accommodations to fusion".
