Elvin Jones The Impulse Years

Description: Hear the thunderous rhythmic mastery of jazz drumming legend Elvin Jones on "The Impulse Years" - a comprehensive collection that captures the groundbreaking work he produced for the Impulse! label in the 1960s. As the powerhouse drummer for John Coltrane's legendary quartet, Jones developed a polyrhythmic, propulsive style that completely transformed the role of the jazz rhythm section. These recordings showcase Jones at the height of his creative powers, unleashing jaw-dropping displays of technical virtuosity and rhythmic invention. On modal jazz burners like "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise" and "Olé," Jones interweaves intricately layered patterns that drive the soloists to dizzying heights of expression. His shimmering cymbal work and explosive, kinetic energy are equally spellbinding on more open-ended, freely improvised pieces like "Transitions" and the epic "Desolation." Throughout "The Impulse Years," Jones's mastery of pulse, meter, and timbre is nothing short of hypnotic. This compilation is an essential document of one of jazz's true drum innovators, cementing Jones's reputation as a rhythmic genius who helped reshape the sound of modern jazz. For fans of boundary-pushing, forward-thinking jazz drumming, "The Impulse Years" is an absolute must-listen.
