Description
One of Elvin Jones' better CDs as a leader, HEAVY SOUNDS offers a plethora of aural pleasures. Whether it be Frank Foster's creative tenor work, or Richard Davis' fat, rounded double bass tone, this music really swings hard. With his sensitive, yet hard-hitting style, Jones himself is in superb form here.
Highlights on HEAVY SOUNDS include a bass and drums duet version of "Summertime", and the beautiful ballad, "Here's That Rainy Day". On the former, Jones plays a particularly moving solo using timpani mallets. Jones also plays guitar (his first and only time) on this album--his old-fashioned delta blues style ain't half bad.
