it’s not been a great week for music, nothing has seemed right, so friday i pulled out a 6-night run by elvin jones at seattle’s jazz alley.  only made it around 4 hours into it by the end of the day (thanks, conference calls!), and am playing it with breaks until the full 13+ hours runs out.  these are pretty good audience recordings.  anyway, feeling much better now.  also bought a digital download version of will calhoun‘s celebrating elvin jones, “sight unseen” just to round out the week.

elvin jones jazz machine - lugano 99 fthis is just a “what i happen to be listening to & thought would be good to share” posting.  i downloaded it from dime when ‘unclewolfi’ seeded it in 2007.

i’m not listened to elvin jones jazz machine much, not sure why as today it was working very well for me.  unclewolfi didn’t seem pleased with the recording (“not the best recording i captured from the radio”) but i think that has to be taken as the relative assessment that it is.

seeder’s comments:
not the best recording i captured from the radio.
it comes from rete due & seems to be a little rough &
in some parts the piano sounds a little bit overloaded.
but all in all it’s a wonderful concert.
