Love this observation: "Mr. Jones sits on his throne radiating swing. " While not as imposing as Max Roach or passionate as Art Blakey, Elvin Jones was a splendid foil for John Coltrane, with the energy emanating from the drum chair opening up multiple paths for the saxophonist to follow. Thanks for this delightful take!
