| | Elvin Jones Jazz Machine Truth: Heard Live At The Blue Note CD Elvin Jones Jazz Machine Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
This live date, recorded at the Blue Note in 1999 in commemoration of Elvin Jones's 72nd birthday, was one of the drummer's last recorded performances before his death in 2004. Jones's Jazz Machine turns in an exciting program of nervy hard bop, with nods to both the mainstream and the avant garde. The band, comprised of Michael Brecker and Antoine Roney on saxophones, Robin Eubanks on trombone, Darren Barrett on trumpet, Carlos McKinney on piano, and Gene Perla on bass, displays an impressive sense of group interplay, while not skimping on brio in the solos.
The set features two standards, Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser," and "Body and Soul" (with impressive saxophone work by Brecker and Roney). John Coltrane's beautiful, complex "Wise One" is given a reverential treatment (which takes on a kind of "full circle" resonance, given Jones's career-defining association with the late saxophonist, and the drummer's own impending passing). Jones's drumming--subtle, graceful, yet polyrhythmically challenging--has plenty of room to shine, especially on his own tune "E.J.'s Blues," where he takes an extended solo. THE TRUTH is a fine set of modern jazz, and a fitting tribute to one of the genre's greatest drummers.

On August 25, 1960, Oscar Hammerstein II died, leaving 58-year-old Broadway composer Richard Rodgers without a lyric partner for the second time in his career. (His first lyricist, Lorenz Hart, had died in 1943.) For the rest of the 1960s, Rodgers himself wrote the lyrics for his songs, the only exception being the 1965 Broadway musical Do I Hear a Waltz?, on which he collaborated with Stephen Sondheim. Rodgers first tried working alone when adding some new songs to a remake of the movie musical State Fair, but his first major solo songwriting effort was the stage musical No Strings, which opened on Broadway March 15, 1962. No Strings was an unusual work in other ways, too. For one thing, as its title suggested, the music was played by seven on-stage musicians ...
