Elvin isolated

Obviously I'm posting really lightly lately, getting ready to head to Germany next week, so: here are some recordings Elvin Jones plays on, with his drums isolated. Enjoy!

Here's Passion Dance, from McCoy Tyner's album The Real McCoy: 


And here he is playing what I was calling his “Afro waltz” on Out Of This World, from the album Coltrane, one of my favorites: 


There are a number of other of these, check them out. Don't screw around, make sure you own the records!
