One listen to Elvin Jones’ Genesis will leave many listeners asking “How did I miss this record?” In 1971, the great years of Blue Note were in the past but the label was still recording superb sessions. The difference was that it often took years for the best recordings to be released and they were being overshadowed by more commercial sets from the label. Genesis fell through the cracks, making it one of the most exciting passed-over records from the late Blue Note period. Dave Liebman, Frank Foster and Joe Farrell, three brilliant and competitive saxophonists, battle it out on these performances with Elvin Jones setting a fire under every solo. Jones makes sure that not only is the fuse never put out but the music is absolutely explosive. Do not miss this remarkable recording!

The graphics are kind of dull on this late-period Blue Note LP, but the music is anything but boring. Elvin Jones’ band had expanded during 1969-1971 from a pianoless trio to a three-horn quintet. With Dave Liebman and the returning Joe Farrell on tenor and soprano and Frank Foster contributing some tenor, alto flute, and bass clarinet (bassist Gene Perla completes the group), it would not be an overstatement to call this a powerful unit. On five originals by bandmembers (best known is Jones’ “Three Card Molly”), the musicians take long, heated solos that straddle the boundary between hard bop and the avant-garde. Their album has plenty of invigorating music. –Scott Yanow
