This is a recording of a solo soprano saxophone piece which is published and available through Caris Music Services. It is titled “Elvin,” obviously for Mr. Jones, and based on thematic aspects from Elvin’s original composition which I recorded in 1971, “Three Card Molly.” The soprano saxophonist is Jean Charles Richard, a former student from Paris who obviously excels in both classical and jazz, as is the case in many European musicians. Though the music was written for solo soprano, as it is dedicated to Elvin Jones, it can be accompanied by drums in a free form style, incorporating mallets, brushes and sticks both in and out of pulse. On this track, I am playing drums.
