After viewing the newly released DVD Performance &
Technique

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.

Philly Joe Jones
One Of The Greatest Hard Boppers (January 2010 Issue)
Philly Joe Jones is one of the greatest of the hard boppers. His contributions to the art of jazz drumming are immeasurable. He was a virtuoso with a pair of brushes, and a genius at turning the rudiments into fluent musical ideas. More than any of his peers, it was Philly Joe’s time feel that defined the idea of swing in the 1950s.
