Art Blakey, Tony Williams, and Elvin Jones—the holy trinity of jazz drumming.
@SVG__Collection Agreed! Each #1 in their sub-categories.
@SVG__Collection Add Max Roach and you have the Mount Rushmore of jazz drumming.
@SVG__Collection And here they are all on the same track 😜 open.spotify.com/track/6Y51cb2e…
@SVG__Collection All legends but if Max Roach isn’t there it can’t be a holy trinity
@SVG__Collection Went to see Elvin at Yoshi’s in Oakland. It didn’t start, eventually Yoshi and Elvin’s wife came out to say Elvin is dying. He wanted one last concert. It took him about 10 minutes to walk across the stage and seat himself. Pure muscle memory, not a dry eye in the house😢
@SVG__Collection Max Roach would like a word...
@SVG__Collection That little guy in the middle; probably the best drummer ever.
@SVG__Collection Indeed. Happy that you appreciate Elvin Jones‘ mastery.
@SVG__Collection Elvin Jones is big and looks like the strongest.
@SVG__Collection WOW!! I never seen this picture before!
@SVG__Collection I was lucky enough to catch all three of them live a few times. 🙂
@SVG__Collection Did you give away that funky tee-shirt yet?
@SVG__Collection Wow! They were having a percussion discussion
@SVG__Collection Holy quintet: Art Taylor and Philly Joe Jones.
@SVG__Collection Williams looks so humble besides the other two masters.
