fabulous clip, thanks

Wow, you don't get sideburns like that anymore! smile.gif

I was just playing the Elvin Jones Mosaic boxset the other day and thinking what a fantastic group this was. Hard to believe that none of them are with us now.

I've been recently researching the individual Lps with a view to buying some of them - still reasonably priced. Are there any sessions from the box that you'd particularly recommend? I have and enjoy Poly-currents

Off to cultivate the sideburns as wellrolleyes.gif

My two favourite albums are the trio sessions with Joe Farrell - 'Puttin' It Together' & 'The Ultimate Elvin Jones'.

'Puttin' It Together' has been out on CD but is hard to find at a 'reasonable price' (whatever that is!). I'm not sure whether 'The Ultimate EJ' has ever had a CD release. It's a great shame that these two superb recordings are not currently in print, but I guess you could say that about lots of other recordings too. Eventually, everything seems to turn up in one form or another!

The two that I find myself going back to most are "Merry-Go-Round," which has great, diverse material, a band that swells from a trio up to an octet and fine, focused studio playing from Liebman, Grossman,Farrell, Corea, Hammer -- one of my favorite Elvin-led sessions from any period. The other is "Live at the Lighthouse," which captures the two-tenor working quartet (Liebman, Grossman, Perla) really going for it in a club; Elvin sounds like a miracle and it's a strong document of the first wave of young, post-Coltrane tenors.
