In talking about the flute today, I keep saying aperture in stead of omberture. These cincematics and camera, aperture. , literal so good, light captured. 100%
Wow, what an amazing treasure in the jazz vault. Elvin's playing sounds just like the record, during the actually song's parts. This kit has a higher sharper tone that the kit he used on the record, perhaps smaller drums.
The recording was made in 1964 and then Elvin was playing a 4 piece set with, for the most part, the following sizes: 20" bass drum, 12" tom, 14" floor tom and 14" snare. From the 80's Elvin started to use a 6 piece set with a smaller bd (18" or even 16") 12" and 13" toms and 14" and 16" floor toms, and a 14" snare, usually deeper than in the past. Also his tuning changed over the years, especially after he married Keiko, a Japanese pianist that would tune his drums for him. As for recording techniques, all the classic Coltrane Quartet albums, were recorded by Rudy Van Gelder with usually 2 or 3 mics on the drums, no eq, no compression, directly to tape. Very different from the way drums were mic'ed and processed in a live setting as this one 25 years later. But at the end of the day, no matter what, Elvin always sounds like Elvin.
Elvin Jones plays the Cascara pattern on the ride cymbal with such finesse. His playing on this is so refined. What a genius!!!
elvin jones is so good

quickest 35 minutes of my life!
Elvin mixes it up challenging rhythm to high levels. Pushes himself to create how he hears it.
Sonny is a bad mf
