Wish I could have had the chance to see him live. He's my favorite drummer.

Elvin da Man!😊

This jive interviewer puts his foot right in front of his own mouth over and over, and Elvin tolerates it and launches his lessons.

What a treat for jazz aficionados and players--his contributions span hundreds of hours to our benefit. Thanks for this musikaudios!

Interviewer sounds like the original Big Lebowski.
stoned and stupid
But Elvin was great.
Articulate and relaxed.
He used the word genius in talking about Dave Liebman.
Quite a compliment.

Don Alias was also working with Tony Williams around this same time....

I seen him wih ravi coltrane and ferrel sanders in 1993
