Elvin Jones - Earth Jones (1982)

personnel :

Elvin Jones - drums
Terumasa Hino - cornet
Dave Liebman - soprano saxophone, flute
Kenny Kirkland - piano, electric piano
George Mraz - bass

On this interesting but unfortunately out of print LP, the immortal drummer Elvin Jones teams up with four advanced but very different improvisers: Dave Liebman (doubling on soprano and flute), cornetist Terumasa Hino, pianist Kenny Kirkland and bassist George Mraz. Other than a lyrical version of "Never Let Me Go," the songs were contributed by either Jones ("Three Card Molly") or Liebman, whose "Day and Night" is not surprisingly based on the chord changes of "Night and Day." The solos are unpredictable but logical, and the blend between the lyrical Hino and Liebman is appealing.~Scott Yanow
