Recorded in 1985 at a Tokyo venue, Live At Pit Inn offers an hour of music from the renowned Elvin Jones Jazz Machine. The setlist includes two compositions by Jones, two others from his wife, Keiko Jones, and a familiar standard played as a ballad. However, the pieces serve merely as a platform for improvisations by the ensemble, with Jones’ energy-filled polyrhythms serving as the backbone. Sonny Fortune and Pat LaBarbera feature on twin tenor saxophones, Fortune's style adding a more experimental flavor. While not a must-have recording, Live at Pit Inn enriches the veteran drummer's discography.
