An all-star line up of some of today’s greatest jazz musicians will be in full force to perform a salute to what would have been the 80th birthday of Elvin Jones. A renowned drummer and member of the John Coltrane Quartet, Elvin Jones passed away of heart failure in 2004. He was 76. Jones' powerful, complex playing helped changed the role of the drummer in jazz groups and influenced a generation of rockers, including The Doors, the Grateful Dead and Santana. With the sons of Ellis Marsalis drummer Jason and older brother Delfeayo on trombone, Nicholas Payton on trumpet, Anthony Wonsey on piano, Dave Liebman on saxophone, and Delbert Felix on bass, this show is sure to be filled with music that celebrates the spirit of one of Jazz’s greatest, generous hearted and most spirited musicians.
