Elvin Jones - Nice Jazz Festival 2000 - LIVE 

Elvin let's each player get their thing happening. He is so supportive and the music is so free flowing.

I sat side of stage in the early 70s at ronnies, night after night, year after year when he visited, had to walk miles home in the early hours, with the sound of his band ringing in my ears.....

mr thunder ... caught him 100+ times, coast-to-coast ... if he was in town, i was there every set of the engagement ... hard to imagine any other music being so satisfying ... i miss him so much!

Lately something that amazes me, is how Elvin could be so in the background, yet be so up front at the same time!

I'm thinking, based upon other tours at that time, personnel is: Elvin Jones - drums Eric Lewis - piano Steve Kirby - bass Darren Barrett - trumpet Antoine Roney - tenor saxophone

i never missed a departed musician like he was a family member or a close friend. except for ELVIN!

What a genius! Elvin is one of a kind and an original pioneer of jazz drumming! one of kind!!

Mc coy Tyner and Elvin jones were at the same festival but didn't play together, how ironic

This was a nice jazz festival

What sense of rythm on those keyboards!

The Remarkable thing for me ,,,besides the excellence of the younger guys with him,,is , Elvin,,,now ,,plays these intricate polyrythmic lines ,,somehow making it sound like Childsplay,,,in a smooth sort of way. fantastic.

37:00 Fixing the mic on the tom...in the middle of his solo. Professional beyond compare.

Thanks so much for posting this, discovered my love for jazz in 2016 and the more I dig the more gold I find! Elvin Jones influenced rock and roll drummers and I can see why.

See where Steve Gadd got the "Late In The Evening" beat from, Elvin used the Mozambique rhythm quite a lot

Holy smokes. The fluidity of that second song after the solo. Wow.

I SAW ELVIN JONES IN W PALM BEACH AND HE AND HIS GROUP PUT ON A SHOW THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. AROUND 2000.

The audience says it all these people know what is great what is pure class world 🌎 class Jazz is still alive 🎉❤

Awesome performances that I constantly visit without fail ❤👍🏿👍🏿

What great time of jazz Rip Mr elvin Jones truely nice music

Awesome bass.

It was nice surprise to listen the show starting the base player playing Japanese Song so called "Hanayome Ningyo (bride doll)". It was a grate performance what so ever.

My favorite Jazz concert

I love elvin jones simple hihat playing around 34:10. He's digging it so much.

Band: What is the dress code? Elvin: I give you my endorsement shirts and I'm gonna shine in white

2022 and still listening 🙏AJ

haha Elvin at 73 could smoke me any day.

Mr. Elvin Jones! thank you!

Saw Jazz Machine at the Blackstone in Chicago a couple times. They had some single chairs in rows off to stage left which side he set up on. I got front row maybe 5' off and a little behind Elvin's sock cymbal. Was a 4" stage platform so I was right IN every bit of his stuff. He was an absolute source force-of-nature drummer. Dug so hard into his snare w/ his brush sweep on a ballad he literally GROWLED in'and'out as he breathed deep into it. One of the strangest most raw powerful, moving and sublime amazing musical events I've ever experience.

Elvin à tout bouleversé ! magnifique !

The Grove Angel At his best.... The pocket Placed on 2 & 4 on the Hi-Hat and the Downbeat On the 1 Elvin Jones ... It's Hard to miss when the bomb falls.

I like that he has a white shirt on and his band is wearing Yamaha and Zildjian shirts

The first tune, "Hanayome Ningyo" (Bride Doll), an old Japanese song is a surprise choice. Elvin may have learned it from his former wife, who was Japanese. Anyway, thanks for uploading the rare video!

This is driving me to another planet! My Man Elvin Jones with some of the finest musicians on Planet Earth! Ohhh MY!!! This is rated Jazz Finest!

Love the way the toms are panned on this spread, across the channels.

Magnifique!! Merci à Zicopolis TV de mettre en ligne ce concert!! J'étais allé à Vienne pour les voir cette année là...! Trop bon!!

Thank you much love

...toques precisos...

Please list all of the artists. We want to get to know them too.

Eric Lewis on piano.

What a stellar solo of Eric Lewis on the first song (Doll of the bride). His stratospheric talent make me shout and cry. Wonderful and original use of pentatonics over a modal song. Listen Fumio Karashima over same song with Elvin Jazz Machine, if you can get it.

Thank you !

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Really nice,Zycopolis TV thanks.

Elvin Ray Jones (September 9, 1927 - May 18, 2004) ... He's 73 here. Does he look like he enjoyed his work?

Who's the pianist ? He's incredible !

Great stuff .... its just a shame you couldn't see the forest for the trees . The shots are so close , you cant see the whole band at once . Still nice concert .

Amazing. He also fixed the microphone all by him self. Interesting sound came of it.

legend

Elvin laying it down at age 73.

16" bass drum MAN yes I agree no one like Elvin listen to A Love Supreme

YESSSSSS!!!!

I didn't know KRS ONE was a bass player

thx

❤

my goodness!! Mr Elvin and the entire band is just so damn smashing

73 years old? Sounds like that's been 73 years of practice!

The piano player plays Zildjian cymbals

A real master of his art - btw he played a 16" Bass Drum here. But I liked the earthier sound of his formerly Gretsch drums much better.

Siempre cosas muy buenas de ZYCOLPOLIS....AMAZING ON THE BETTER MUSICIANS...;)))

good

genius

Nice music...

Elvin looks like a conduit for music itself when he plays.

Bravo on this video 5*****

Sorry Folks that's an 18" bass drum he's playing but he did play a16" at times who needs a 22 or 24" bass drum takes too much space in the trunk of the car anyway

The crowd cut the bass solo off i think lol. 36:16

Maaan Eric Lewis is relentless on this too.

Anyone know the name of the second tune? (17:15)

Shit my fingers killing me now shit .............

Elvis )

No one like Elvin....

His bassdrum

Maybe you have to be really, really, really stoned to enjoy this.

Does anyone know what ride cymbal Elvin is using for his main right-hand? 20" constantinople?
