Puttin' It Together - Jones, Elvin - LP - Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

With 'PUTTIN' IT TOGETHER,' Elvin Jones casts a daring new light on the jazz trio. Known as one of the most inventive drummers in jazz history, Jones steps out of the shadows of his legendary tenure with John Coltrane to command the spotlight. Here, joined by bassist Jimmy Garrison and pianist Joe Farrell, Jones crafts a sound that’s both fiercely rhythmic and spaciously exploratory. The album is a masterclass in synergy—the trio’s dialogue feels conversational, each instrument contributing ideas rather than simply supporting the others. Jones’ drumming is both thunderous and subtle, layering polyrhythms with a sense of purpose that propels the group into uncharted territories. Farrell’s adventurous reed work and Garrison’s resonant lines respond in kind, resulting in performances that are as unpredictable as they are rewarding. 'PUTTIN' IT TOGETHER' is more than just a showcase for virtuosity; it’s an essential chapter in post-bop evolution, where boundaries blur and collaboration takes center stage. For collectors and listeners alike, this album is a compelling document of three musicians at the height of their creative powers, forging paths that would influence generations to come.
