Review by Ron Wynn
Dynamic drummer Elvin Jones led two different units on the eight selections featured on this disc of late-'70s material. The first six were done in New York during 1978 and include Jones spearheading a great band with Art Pepper on three selections, backed by outstanding bassist Richard Davis and fine pianist Roland Hanna. This is first-rate quartet material with Pepper surging and the trio challenging him, then contrasting and complementing his solos with their own great work. The other two cuts were recorded in Tokyo and issued on a previous release. They include a turbulent, often evocative version of "A Love Supreme," a 26-minute-plus tribute with Jones driving the band. The music is not as special as the title indicates but is well worth hearing.

Reseña de Ron Wynn
El dinámico baterista Elvin Jones dirigió dos unidades diferentes en las ocho selecciones que aparecen en este disco de material de finales de los 70. Las seis primeras fueron grabadas en Nueva York durante 1978 e incluyen a Jones encabezando una gran banda con Art Pepper en tres selecciones, respaldado por el excepcional bajista Richard Davis y el fino pianista Roland Hanna. Se trata de un material de cuarteto de primera clase, con Pepper enérgico y el trío desafiándole, contrastando y complementando sus solos con su propio gran trabajo. Los otros dos cortes se grabaron en Tokio y se publicaron en una edición anterior. Incluyen una versión turbulenta y a menudo evocadora de "A Love Supreme", un homenaje de más de 26 minutos con Jones al frente de la banda. La música no es tan especial como indica el título, pero merece la pena escucharla.
