On this day, we celebrate the singular, revolutionary genius of Elvin Ray Jones (September 9, 1927 – May 18, 2004) – a man who not only defied the known laws of human creativity but also brought unequaled intensity, power, and inexhaustible depth of emotional meaning to the drums.
Elvin Jones is the epitome of what jazz was once known to be – an expression of one’s highest potential charged with an uncompromising assertion of personal integrity against all odds. As such, let September 9th from here on be hailed as Elvin Jones Day.
Enjoy this rare clip of Woody Shaw sitting in with Elvin Jones live at the Village Vanguard in 1980 (Recorded by Tom Marcello).

Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot
of spam feedback? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.
