Non merci, Oncle Sam.

 

[mindspell]

His stuff on the few Coltrane free jazz records is insanely good. Hats off for the great Elvin Jones

 

[avi]

his last show was in Oakland.

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah like two weeks ago right! It makes me happy that he was playing until the very end of his life.

 

[Nut Butter]

How'd he die?

 

[Astral Poetry]

He should be honored for both his drumming skills and his name. I mean, how cool can your fucking name get?! I guess if it was something like "Gammatron 9000" it might be close...nah, Elvin is still cooler.

 

[avi]

yeah, it was crazy. apparently he almost didn't make it through the set.
