Elvin Jones - Mr. Jones - 80th LP

Blue Note 80 Vinyl Reissue — All-Analog 180g LP, Mastered by Kevin Gray

After six years with the seminal John Coltrane Quartet, drummer Elvin Jones signed with Blue Note in 1968 and made a series of ten fantastic albums, including 1972's Mr. Jones. Produced by Francis Wolff and George Butler, it features saxophonists Dave Liebman, Steve Grossman and Pepper Adams, Thad Jones on flugelhorn, pianist Jan Hammer, bassist Gene Perla, and percussionists Carlos "Patato" Valdes, Frank Ippolito and Albert Duffy. The music delves into expansive post-bop with Latin influences and includes an impassioned reading of Tadd Dameron's ballad "Soultrane" in dedication to Coltrane.
