Elvin Jones - Genesis (1971)


Cosmic, meditative post-bop led by percussionist Elvin Jones. The whole record has a slow-burning quality, from simmering, late-night vignettes to groove-heavy improv showcases.

Track listing:
1. P.P. Phoenix
2. For All the Other Times
3. Slumber
4. Three Card Molly
5. Cecilia Is Love

  1. Yes please, jazz is always welcome. Btw, I've seen you posting jazz fusion, ECM and some Bop oldies. Have you got any hints on recent jazz artists (i.e after 2000) to keep an eye on? Most things I've heard seem to be avant-garde in a way I can't decipher --PC

    1. Try Kamasi Washington's Heaven and Earth. From the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdyabrdFMC8

    2. Seconding Kamaal Williams, Danny McCaslin, R+R=Now, and Kamasi Washington. Also, Jeff Parker (check out "The New Breed"), Makaya McCraven, and Sons of Kemet.
