A Celebration of Elvin Jones:
Dear Elvin J. The Dear Elvin J. Project, formed by Tony Moreno to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Elvin Jones’ passing, celebrates the legendary drummer's musical legacy.
As a protege of Jones, Moreno has selected 10 compositions from Elvin's iconic repertoire, with new arrangements by NYC composer/arranger Rich Shemaria. The ensemble features a stellar group of musicians: Troy Roberts on tenor saxophone, Patrick Cornelius on alto and soprano saxophones, Manuel Valera on piano, Gene Perla on bass, Mauricio Herrera on congas, and Moreno on drums. As Moreno says, “Elvin was my role model, my mentor, and my closest friend.” Through this project, we honor the extraordinary legacy that Elvin Jones has left behind. |
