Elvin Jones was a legendary US jazz drummer, born on September 09, 1927 in Pontiac, Michigan and passed away on May 18, 2004 in Englewood, New Jersey. Regarded as "the world's greatest rhythmic drummer" by Life magazine, Jones made a significant impact on the jazz scene. Coming from a musical family with brothers Hank Jones and Thad Jones, he entered the Detroit jazz scene in the late 1940s after touring with the Army Special Services show Operation Happiness. Known for his innovative style and rhythm, he became renowned while playing alongside Coltrane.

Jones' career took off when he started working at various clubs in Detroit where he had the opportunity to back up influential jazz figures like Parker, Davis, and Wardell Grey. His rhythmic and unique approach to drumming set him apart from others in the industry. With his talent recognized by John Coltrane himself, Elvin Jones went on to become one of jazz's most famous drummers.

Elvin Jones, one of the truly great drummers in jazz, recorded this album in 1971 after having led his own band for several years following his immortal work with the John Coltrane Quartet. This unique recording has a spacious feel with plenty of room for the players to work out the melodic compositions created by the members of the group. At times the recording creates an almost cinematic space, yet always propelling forward into unexpected territory.  No pandering to contemporary tastes at this date or following the trends of the time, this is simply a great example of mature musicians given the freedom to create their own vision and place in time. Saxophonists Frank Foster and Dave Liebman instruments intertwine in a spellbinding way with opportunities to showcase Jones’ incredible virtuosity as a drummer. An album that reveals itself to the listener slowly with new delights every time it’s removed from the jacket.&nbsp;
