This is Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Elvin Jones. These dudes are NO joke! I showed this clip to one of my buddies, and he was like" yo all these old school cats are boring." I'm like :o :o :o ::) :-X!!!!!! Elvin Jones boring????? Ha! Anyway, I have spent many late nights recently listening to these cats (and others) on wax and video and they are true musical geniuses. I fell asleep with my Ipod on and I was playing Elvin's CD from 1961 called "Elvin!". I woke up, got on the set, and couldn't stop playing a lick I heard him pull off in one of his solos(1st or 2nd cut I think) and I was like "where did that come from??? :o" But anyway, watch and appreciate the clip. These are true legends. GB ;)

Elvin and Tain are the two cats that have influenced me the most in my jazz playing. The way he pushed and pulled the time in the music was ill. It might have been boring to your homies because they didn't understand the music.
If you really want to dig into Elvin, pick up John Coltrane's A Love Supreme. His playing on there is at a premium for sure.
Respect the old school.

Yeah I guess they just don't get it yet. But I can understand because there was a time I thought that jazz drummers were boring, but the more and more you listen, the more and more you understand where they are coming from and the more fascinating the playing becomes. And Juse good looks, I'll definitely be coppin that Coltrane joint. GB ;)
