VHS Movie Reviews of Jazz Machine

Movie Review: The Truth
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the result of a true defender of jazz. This is beyond John Coltrane. This shows the growth of jazz. All drummers should see this DVD. Elveen is dropping latin bombs in "Doll Of The Bride" This is heat!

Movie Review: God bless Elvin Jones
Summary: 5 Stars

A must for Be-Bop lovers. Elvin Jones is the master and, regretably, there will probably never be another drummer who even comes close to his combination of talent, skills and ability.

Movie Review: It's Great!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is amazing footage... three songs, all of which Elvin takes solos on. Sonny Fortune literally BURNS through the last tune, and Ravi Coltrane is right there with him. Elvin is amazing, he is pushing the band on and on and his basist, Chip Jackson, is ready to amuse. Why four and not five stars? The sound quality, and the pianist. I just could not stand the pianist. Thankfully I don't know his name, so I won't lambaste him any further. Finally, the sound quality, of course I wasn't expecting much, but the sound is somewhat mushy. Elvin's solos sometimes seem a little repettitive due to the sound quality, and sometimes I would have to turn up to hear the base, and then down for the drums. But don't get me wrong, all in all, this is an awesome DVD from a drum master.

Movie Review: Smokin'! Elvin Jones is a volcano of rhythm.
Summary: 5 Stars

Percussion powerhouse Elvin Jones, the rhythm dynamo who propelled the classic John Coltrane Quartet, brings his screaming intensity to his Jazz Machine in this stirring video that features Trane's son Ravi on tenor as well as veteran saxman Sonny Fortune and Chicago mainstay Willie Pickins on piano. Songs include "Is There a Jackson in the House?", "Ray El" and "Doll of the Bride". #1346 (58 min, Hi-Fi Stereo)

Summary of Jazz Machine

It would be impossible to overstate the importance of master drummer Elvin Jones in the evolution and current mainstream jazz. Elvin followed older brothers Hank and Thad onto the Detroit jazz scene, where all forged eminent careers. By the Mid- 1960s he was playing with Coltrane's groundbreaking quartet, and was looked to by musicians who wanted to know was where jazz headed and to feel how deep the human spirit it could still reach.

Today Elvin Jones stills plays with thunderous power, leading to generations of players that come out smokin' and go from there. Veterans Sonny Fortune and Chip Jackson brilliantly orchestrate the power of the drums; while young confreres saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and pianist Willie Pickins, dig in and scale the sheer rockface of their mentors' unyielding energy.

V.I.E.W. Video takes you into the volcanic heart of jazz, with a multi-generational band that is keeping the faith and developing the musicians who will safeguard it into the future.
