Elvin Jones
The Legend Only Grows (July 2002 Issue)
On the eve of his seventy-fifth birthday, Elvin Ray Jones exhibits
the relaxed
demeanor and lean physique of a weathered--but still
dangerous--championship athlete. When he smiles, which is often,
he
still looks like he's twenty-five. His sense of humor is sharp, his
intellect acute. And as anyone who has seen him
perform on what seems
like a never-ending world tour will tell you, Elvin is still the man,
a drummer of incredible
prowess, facility, and earthquake-rendering
swing. He's a musician who carries with him the weight of history, but
who
always works in the moment, summoning a sound that is one of the
great musical phenomenons of our time.

greeted with a standing ovation that lasted for several minutes. I had witnessed the same thing a few months earlier, when Elvin
performed at a jazz festival at the University of Louisville, and various acquaintances have told me of similar ovations that greeted
Jones over the past few years at clubs, concerts, and clinics.
