This 21st century celebration of the great jazz legend Elvin Jones is filled with passion and heart. Iconic drummer Will Calhoun joins forces with Elvin Jones’ musical associates Christian McBride, Carlos McKinney, Antoine Roney and Jan Hammer on this recording.

“Celebrating Elvin Jones is an inspired project, vibrant and emotionally honest, but its greatest success may be that it brings Calhoun’s boundless energy to lesser-known gems of the Jones songbook.”

– DownBeat

“For this album — reverential but effervescent — Calhoun put together eight unpredictable, thoughtful tracks…as a whole, the album might well encourage a new look at the richness of Jones’s material.”

– The Village Voice
