Within a few years of leaving the John Coltrane Quartet, Elvin Jones became a very important bandleader. Due to his consistent brilliance and mastery of polyrhythms, the drummer always inspired his sidemen, bringing out a raw intensity in their playing that was not often heard in other settings.

Produced by Duke Pearson, this 1968 date for Blue Note finds the master drummer in a pianoless trio with Joe Farrell (tenor & soprano saxophone, flute) and Jimmy Garrison (bass) performing a well balanced 6-track set comprised of three Garrison originals (“What Is This?,” “Ascendant,” “Sometimes Joie”), one from Farrell (“In the Truth”) and a pair of standards (“Yesterdays,” “We’ll Be Together Again”).

This is one of Joe Farrell’s finest recordings. Switching between tenor, soprano and flute, Farrell had to be good because he was joined in the pianoless trio by bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones. The group performs two standards, three Garrison originals and one by Farrell; it is a tossup as to who takes honors. Farrell is in consistently creative form but Garrison’s occasional solos and Jones’s polyrhythmic accompaniment are also noteworthy. This LP is long overdue to reappear on CD. –Scott Yanow
