Elvin Jones

A blacksmith and an amateur gunslinger embark on journey through the west together but soon separate and have surreal experiences of their own.

Cecil Taylor was the grand master of free jazz piano. "All the Notes" captures in breezy fashion the unconventional stance of this media-shy modern musical genius, regarded as one of the true giants of post-war music. Seated at his beloved and battered piano in his Brooklyn brownstone the maestro holds court with frequent stentorian pronouncements on life, art and music.

"Elvin Jones - Full Concert "Recorded Live: 8/18/1990 - Newport Jazz Festival (Newport, RI)" (Jazz on MV).

A documentary film about John Coltrane.

The bold and ferocious harmonic imagination of John Coltrane is laid bare in this concert, captured at the Comblain-La-Tour Festival in Belgium, 1965. Alongside his famed quartet, he delivers a transcendent performance that is marked by the total physicality of the music – four sets of hands moving with restless vigour as vapour literally rises from their shoulders and into the night sky.

A short exposé on Elvin Jones' life & career complete with performance footage. Produced & directed by Ed Gray.
