elvin jones

• "what do you say about a king? elvin jones' music was such a reflection of who he was as a person, a man who truly lived his life and experienced the spectrum of human emotion fully and deeply. his strong life force came through his playing and was a dynamic expression of that rhythm of life. he translated that vital heartbeat of humanity as he heard it so that when he played, you couldn't help but feel the joy. a remarkable man, a remarkable gift. thank you elvin!"
