Elvin!

Elvin Jones defined a style of drumming as he helped to drive the John Coltrane Quartet towards a new freedom of expression in jazz music. He would have been 85 years old this week, so we celebrate his birth date to start this podcast. Also in this show, you will get a taste of an upcoming tour by Chick Corea and Gary Burton with tracks from a re-release of the album Hot House. As I often do on my radio show, I showcase new emerging jazz artists as well as the masters of this genre. This week I feature tracks by Mike DiRubbo, Julian Shore, Shimrit Shoshan and an amazing drummer Dafnis Prieto.
