Elvin Jones - Full Concert [HD] | Live at North Sea Jazz Festival 1999

SATURDAY 10 JULY 1999 • JAN STEEN ZAAL • Congress Centre, The Hague, The Netherlands Elvin Ray Jones (Pontiac (Michigan), September 9, 1927 – Englewood (New Jersey), May 18, 2004) was a jazz drummer. He was born as the youngest son in a family of ten. Two of his brothers also became jazz musicians: Hank played the piano and Thad the trumpet. His career began in the 1940s. He worked in the context of the military-initiated program Operation Happiness and worked briefly in Detroit. In 1955 he tried to join Benny Goodman's ensemble, but an audition was unsuccessful. Jones left for New York and got a spot in Charles Mingus' band. With Jones, this band released the album J is for Jazz. In 1960 Jones joined the legendary John Coltrane Quartet, which gave jazz a completely new impetus. They renewed jazz to the same extent as Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker had done. Nevertheless, they came to a break in 1966. Jones could no longer agree with the direction Coltrane wanted to go and he differed from the drumming style advocated by the second drummer of the John Coltrane Quartet, Rashied Ali. After leaving Coltrane, Jones played with Duke Ellington and eventually formed his own band Jazz Machine. Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!
