1	Heavy Sounds (1968) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist For this CD reissue, an Impulse! session co-led by drummer Elvin Jones and bassist Richard Davis was brought back by MCA. Tenor saxophonist Frank Foster and pianist Billy Green complete the quartet, which performs an erratic but generally interesting set of music including "Shiny Stockings," Foster's funky "Raunchy Rita," and "Elvin's Guitar Blues ... see all copies from £5.57! new only from £9.60!
2	Momentum Space (1999) more music like this by Dewey Redman/Cecil Taylor/Elvin Jones add to wishlist All one has to do is look at the personnel on this trio project (tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, pianist Cecil Taylor and drummer Elvin Jones) and it is obvious that the set is potentially special. Taylor, still the most adventurous musician in jazz at that point after 45 years, does not get grouped into all-star settings very often. However, when ... see all copies from £7.98! new only from £18.10!
3	Very R.A.R.E. (1979) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist Dynamic drummer Elvin Jones led two different units on the eight selections featured on this disc of late-'70s material. The first six were done in New York during 1978 and include Jones spearheading a great band with Art Pepper on three selections, backed by outstanding bassist Richard Davis and fine pianist Roland Hanna. This is first-rate ... see all copies from £8.75! new only from £31.09!
4	The Truth: Heard Live at the Blue Note (2004) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist This 1999 live set features the great drummer Elvin Jones leading an all-star group. The repertoire, comprised of three jazz standards (including John Coltrane's lesser-known "Wise One"), three originals and an adaptation of a folk song, generally featuring one or two soloists on each cut. The straight-ahead and basic "E.J.'s Blues" has spots for ... see all copies from £7.29! new only from £10.38!
5	And Then Again/Midnight Walk (2000) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist This repackage of two of Elvin Jones' Atlantic titles from 1965 and 1967, respectively, reveals something truly unnerving about the drummer before and after his boss, John Coltrane, passed away: that Jones never stopped being a hard bop drummer. On the first date, And Then Again, Jones employs his brothers, Thad and Hank, Charles Davis, Paul ... see all copies from £8.06! new only from £8.06!
6	Live at the Village Vanguard (1968) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist In what was probably the first recording by drummer Elvin Jones' working group (and one of his first after the death of John Coltrane), the focus is very much on tenor saxophonist George Coleman. The trio (which also includes bassist Wilbur Little) stretches out on Coleman's "By George," "Laura" and "You Don't Know What Love Is" and is joined by ... see all copies from £8.84! new only from £8.84!
7	With Dave Holland and Elvin Jones (2001) more music like this by Bill Frisell/Elvin Jones/Dave Holland add to wishlist What can you expect but good things from a date featuring three players of such high pedigree. With Dave Holland and Elvin Jones representing the steadfast rhythm sections of old, and with Frisell's post-modern tones being among the finest voices moving jazz forward, a date like this should easily yield some classic moments. But Frisell comes up ... see all copies from £11.36! new only from £11.36!
8	Loose & Juicy (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Loose and Juicy is a treasure chest of rare grooves for jazz, hip-hop, and funk enthusiasts. Cammille Yarbrough's track "Take Your Praise," was the source of Norman Cook's (Fatboy Slim) hit single "Praise You." Captured here on CD, Yarbrough captivates the listener with her poetic vocals and raw funk. Bunky Green's sizzling sax work on "Funk Ain't ... see all copies from £4.93! new only from £4.93!
9	Elvin! (1962) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist Drummer Elvin Jones' first full-length album as a leader (reissued on CD in the OJC series) 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 ... see all copies from £8.27! new only from £8.27!
10	And Then Again (1965) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist see all copies from £8.82! new only from £8.82!
11	When I Was at Aso Mountain (1993) more music like this by Elvin Jones Introduces Takehisa Tanaka add to wishlist This is basically a recording of the trio of Japanese pianist Takehisa Tanaka and the stellar rhythm team of bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Elvin Jones, with saxophonist/flautist Sonny Fortune performing on three of the eight selections, which include three Tanaka compositions and three standards. Ironically Fortune plays on all three Tanaka ... see all copies from £6.78! new only from £23.52!
12	Going Home (1993) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist On Elvin Jones' third Enja CD of the 1990s, the legendary drummer continues with the same formula used on his previous recording, Youngblood, with one exception. Jones adds the veteran Chicago pianist Willie Pickens to a group of younger players -- trumpeter Nicholas Payton, saxophonists Javon Jackson and Ravi Coltrane, flutist Kent Jordan, and ... see all copies from £10.03! new only from £10.03!
13	Youngblood (1992) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist Although this superior set features three of the top Young Lions (tenors Joshua Redman and Javon Jackson and trumpeter Nicholas Payton), along with the fine bassist George Mraz, drummer Elvin Jones, 64 at the time, sounds like the youngest member of the group. The well-rounded CD has individual features for Redman ("Angel Eyes"), Payton ("Body and ... see all copies from £8.35!
14	At This Point in Time (1998) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist see all copies from £7.24!
15	Beat of a Different Drummer (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £3.38!
16	The Big Beat [Milestone] (1973) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The CD reissue of Big Beat brings back all of the music from the original double LP except for Max Roach's version of "You Stepped out of a Dream." The sampler features four different drummer-led units in performances that are available on other Fantasy CDs. Art Blakey's 1962-64 Jazz Messengers (with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, trombonist Curtis ... see all copies from £6.18!
17	Elvin Jones Is on the Mountain (1975) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist This 1975 date for the brilliant drummer, with Jan Hammer on keyboards and bassist Gene Perla, is a minor, if somewhat overlooked, classic from the tail-end of the early '70s to the mid-70s' run of great jazz fusion releases. Both Perla and Hammer worked with Elvin Jones between 1971 and 1973, in bands featuring saxophonists Frank Foster, Joe ... see all copies from £11.19!
18	Vanguard Collector's Edition (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This four-CD set isn't quite as comprehensive as it might have been. All of the major bases are covered, from Paul Robeson, the Weavers, and Count Basie to Alison Brown and John McEuen, and even Circus Maximus ("Oops -- I Can Dance") is here, with cuts by the Frost ("Sweet Lady Love") and the Third Power ("Gettin' Together"). But there's no Sandy ... see all copies from £8.08! new only from £20.43!
19	Live at the Lighthouse, Vol. 2 (1972) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist The second of two CDs featuring music recorded at the Lighthouse during a marathon session is the equal of the first. Greatly expanded from the original two-LP set, this disc has a pair of selections from the two-fer ("Sweet Mama" and "The Children, Save the Children") and three performances ("I'm a Fool to Want You," "Britt Piece," and the 28-and ... see all copies from £32.81!
20	In Europe (1991) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist Recorded live at a jazz festival in Germany, In Europe represents a typical Jazz Machine live performance, three selections from the group's regular repertoire where the musicians get plenty of room to stretch out, fueled by Jones' propulsive polyrhythms. "Ray-El," written by Elvin's brother Thad Jones, is a medium tempo blues number featuring a ... see all copies from £4.53!
21	It's Monk's Tune (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £5.69! new only from £18.28!
22	Earth Jones (1982) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist On this interesting but unfortunately out of print LP, the immortal drummer Elvin Jones teams up with four advanced but very different improvisers: Dave Liebman (doubling on soprano and flute), cornetist Terumasa Hino, pianist Kenny Kirkland and bassist George Mraz. Other than a lyrical version of "Never Let Me Go," the songs were contributed by ... see all copies from £8.47! new only from £11.37!
23	Ellington Excursions: The Music of Duke Ellington (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £11.18!
24	Power Trio (1990) more music like this by John Hicks With Cecil McBee and Elvin Jones add to wishlist This summit recording by pianist John Hicks, drummer Elvin Jones, and bassist Cecil McBee might not always hit the heights, but it still impresses with a fine repertoire and quality playing. John Coltrane's "Cousin Mary" kicks things off with Hicks and Jones matching the vigorous interplay the drummer and pianist McCoy Tyner plied so well in ... see all copies from £11.00!
25	Dear John C. (1965) more music like this by Elvin Jones add to wishlist The second album by Elvin Jones as sole title rights leader (excluding the co-op ensemble that recorded the stunning and essential progressive jazz icon Illumination!) has the drummer sounding more like a backup musician, as he claims no compositional duties or noticeable solo space. In fact, this is one of the very best albums in the career of ... see all copies from £22.59!
