Very R.A.R.E.
A masterclass in dynamic interplay – Elvin Jones leads an exceptional quartet through one of his finest 70s recordings. With Roland Hanna's piano, Art Pepper's saxophone, and Richard Davis's bass, Jones finds the perfect ensemble to showcase his full expressive range. The album balances searching, energetic explorations rooted in Coltrane's legacy with intimate, introspective passages that give Hanna and Pepper room to shine. Tracks like "Witching Hour," "Pitter Pat," "Tin Tin Deo," "Zange," "Sweet Mama," and "Passion Flower" reveal a drummer in complete command, leading a group that moves as one with tremendous precision and soul.
